Meet the breeder

I'm Stacey S., the breeder behind Tarkiln Valley Farm located in Warsaw, OH. I take pride and raising puppies who are genetic and health sound while providing families with loving quiet temperament pets. We only have one or two litters of puppies a year. We live on a small rural farm so all of my dogs are well-rounded.

Q. & A. with Stacey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because the owner of my Tilly encouraged me to do so. I thought long and hard before I decided to breed a dog as I am extremely aware of the over population of dogs. I did not want to add to that. However, I wanted to breed genetically sound and healthy dogs to offer to families.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am very new to breeding my own dogs. I feel that concentrating on one or two litters a year is what makes my breeding program stand out.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Tarkiln Valley Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shih Tzus.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
