Meet the breeder
I'm Denise/Matt F., the breeder behind Shih-tzu Queen located in Willard, UT. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours! The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families!
Q. & A. with Denise/Matt
Why did you start breeding?
When my husband and I first married, he surprised me at work with my very first Shih-tzu. He was the cutest little puff ball. Ever since then, I was hooked on the Shih-tzu breed.What makes your program special?
I am very cautious with the steps in breeding. My puppies come from the most loving, caring, and blessed home. I strive to raise great, healthy puppies. All of my puppies come with first round of shots, dewormer, AKC paperwork, and my best efforts towards potty training.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, liver, blue, gold, red, silver, liver and white, brindle and white, black white and silver, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · Apr. 2026
We enjoyed working with Matt and Denise to adopt and bring home precious Goldie. Communication was seamless, and the process, including the contract and health paperwork, was straightforward. Peaches came home happy and with a head start on potty training. Overall, our experience was smooth and efficient.
