Breeder of Shih Tzus

Meet the breeder

I'm Stella K., the breeder behind Stella's Shih Tzus located in West Salem, OH. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! Our puppies become integral members of our family. They’re a daily part of everything we do until they’re ready to join their forever families.

Q. & A. with Stella

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A friend told me how much they sold for and I could not believe it. But everyone who seen my dogs wanted a dog like mine so I started having puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    I let my female rest in between heats

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

    Our puppies include black and tan, sable and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
