Meet the breeder
I'm Susan S., the breeder behind Stevens’ Hidden Acres located in Conway, MO. We are proud to offer our beautiful Shih Tzu puppies to loving homes! Our dogs are healthy and have great temperaments. Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
I started raising Shih Tzu because I loved them so much! I have always been able to communicate with animals better than people. I wanted others to experience how amazing the Shih Tzu can be! They change their new families lives for the better!What makes your program special?
The way I raise mine with so much love, fun, & training makes a huge difference! Just like children it really matters. My lifelong customers see it and appreciate it! I pack my babies full of as much love, joy, fun, & training as I can in 9 weeks. I do desensitizing method from day one. I spend lots of time individually with each one of my babies to get to know them. I love making a perfect match.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black gold and white, silver and white, red and white, gold and white, brindle 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.
