Smashville Shih-Tzus

Sarah W.

Breeder of Shih Tzus

Meet the breeder

I'm Sarah W., the breeder behind Smashville Shih-Tzus located in Brentwood, TN. I am a Licenced Professional Counselor specializing in Trauma and PTSD. I have witnessed first hand the difference a good emotional support animal can make in the lives of my clients and my family members. I believe Shih-Tzu's are the best emotional support animals.

Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I became a breeder in 2004. I wanted to give my children the experience of learning how to work with animals, by my side on a small hobby farm.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am deliberately a small in home business. I want to provide my customers with well adjusted, quality emotional support animals.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
