I'm Susan S., the breeder behind SuLynnes Shih Tzus located in Parma, ID. We offer AKC registered Pups to go to loving homes. Our dogs are bred for good health and personalities. Are good for people with allergies because they are considered hyperallergenic due to very little shedding. They are well socialized and subjected to all the sounds in a normal household such as vacuum, washer, dryer, and TV. They have been trained to words normally used such as Potty, No, Come, Out, and have been doggie door trained to potty outside at 6 weeks of age. They are really smart and healthy puppies that have learned so much with the help of a good mother. They are raised in our home, not a kennel, and given all the attention they desire.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
Initially we got into breeding by buying a pet Shih Tzu and then falling in love with them so much we wanted to raise them and breed to share with others and make a little money along the way.
We had many people refer friends to us because they loved their puppies they got from us and we were reputable breeders.
What makes your program special?
We only have one pair of Shih Tzus and they get all of our attention. They are Vet checked the first week when Dewclaws are removed. Get their shots as needed. We want to make sure they get a good healthy start and find a loving home to be happy and make others happy! We will warranty our puppies for a year that if a Vet finds something wrong with the puppy genetically we will take the puppy back.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Shih Tzu
About Mork
Mork is such a loving dog. He loves to give us attention and receive our attention back. He is really a gentleman and let's Mindy eat first always before he approaches his food even though they each have their own dish. He is active and loves to spend outside in the yard everyday, but is ready to come sit on our laps when we settle down for the evening. He brings us his toys to play with him frequently. He has a favorite stuffed goose toy that he claimed when he was young. He is now 2vyears old and his other favorite toy is a squeak penguin that he loves to squeek. He is always ready to go for a ride when we tell him let's go. He is such a good dog and minds us well.
Mindy, mom
Shih Tzu
About Mindy
Mindy is such a little lover. She has always snuggled up on my shoulder just like a little baby when I pick her up. She will dance on her back feet every morning until I pick her up and give her a snuggle love. She loves to spend time out in our front yard watching all the activity. She like to chew on her antler toy. She and Mork both love cucumbers and Watermelon. They make sure I give them one of the special treats each evening by hand feeding them cucumber or Watermelon. Mindy is 2 years old and has just had her first litter. She has been an awesome Mom taking excellent care of the puppies. Mindy also loves to sit on our laps in the evening.

Susan made the entire experience so positive easy and reassuring from the initial message I sent her to any and all follow-up messages. She always responded with quick, knowledgeable answers and was willing to take the time to talk at length on the phone as well. More importantly though, was the obvious care she gives to the puppies and their home life .She was kind and gracious enough to allow me into her home and yard so that I could come see firsthand how well cared for they are and how they are treated so lovingly in a well suited area for puppies and their parents. She personally delivered the puppies out of state and they are healthy happy and handsome and have already stolen the hearts of my Dad! We are very satisfied and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for Shih Tzu puppies!

Susan was an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything was so organized. All paperwork, food information, and shots were all in a binder for us. The best thing though, was that our puppy was loved and well taken care of by her and her sweet husband. I am so grateful that we found Susan. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy.
We are all loving sweet Charlie.

Working with Susan was amazing!! She was able to answer all my questions about my dog "Kitsy" After I decided to purchase my dog, I ask about what she ate and she instantly text me pictures of all the foods, treats that my dog liked, even down to a toy she liked. During the week I had to wait before I got her she text me pictures and video's of her. We lived quit a distance away and she was willing to meet us halfway. She went above and beyond making it an easy transition. She even sent Kitsy home with a blanket with her parents and brother scent on it.

Susan and her husband are a very sweet couple. We adopted "Tanner" (now Frodo 😉) and are very happy with him. They allowed me to come by and meet him after paying the deposit, which I greatly appreciated. Frodo fits right in with our kids and other pets.
