Meet the breeder
I'm Donna S., the breeder behind The Ohana Paws located in Kansas City, MO. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding started when I began looking for a quality puppy and found it difficult to find what I was looking for. I wanted an AKC registered puppy that was high quality, well socialized, and home raised.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is unique in that we want to provide a positive experience and quality puppy for you to love and adore. Our dogs perform in AKC conformation events and most have achieved AKC Champion status. They are home raised and are known to adapt and be socially engaging when showing or visiting others in their homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Shih Tzu puppies include red and white and gold and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
