Raised with love, in our home

Home-raised Shih Tzu puppies with big hearts

Our puppies grow up underfoot, in our home, surrounded by people, everyday noise and plenty of cuddles. They arrive in your arms confident, healthy and ready to be family.

Our story

A small kennel with a big soft spot for Shih Tzus

We fell for this breed the way most people do: one little dog with a big personality, and we were done for. Today we raise a small number of litters each year so every puppy gets real attention from the day it is born.

We know each puppy by name and by nature, and we take our time matching them with families who will love them for life.

Why a Shih Tzu

Little lions, gentle souls

Bred for centuries to be companions, Shih Tzus are happiest wherever their people are.

Affectionate

Temperament

Friendly, outgoing and wonderfully calm. They get along with children, seniors and other pets, and they love a lap.

9–16 lbs

Size

Small but sturdy, about 9 to 10.5 inches tall. Just right for apartments, houses and travel.

Low shedding

Coat

A silky coat of hair, not fur, that sheds very little. It does need regular brushing and grooming to stay comfortable.

10–18 years

Lifespan

A long-lived breed. With good care, your puppy will be part of the family for many years.
