I'm Susan G., the breeder behind Suzie Q Shitzu’s located in Maxwell, CA. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We are a simple, family-run breeding program offering loving and loyal companions to others. We focus on quality care and health with each litter we raise.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter breeds labs and convinced me to start my own program with my female. I purchased another female and a male shortly afterwards and that began my experience 😊
What makes your program special?
I keep it small and very family oriented. I have a huge yard and lots of room to run and play and just enjoy being a dog, having lots of playmates!
