I'm the breeder behind Between The Creeks Farmstead located in Grandview, TN. At Between the Creeks Farmstead, our focus is to breed loving Shih Tzu puppies to provide the best addition to your family! Our puppies are raised in our home and handled daily by our 4 children. We’ve received wonderful feedback from our previous litter on the wonderful temperament of our puppies!
Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first shih tzu 3 years ago and I fell in love with how sweet she was and how perfect she was for our family! We got our male, Niko, 6 months after. Roxy is sweet and everyone’s best friend, while Niko is fun and has just the right amount of energy. We think their temperament combines to make the perfect puppies to add to your family!
What makes your program special?
We strive to offer puppies that will bless your family with love and laughter, and many years of snuggles! Our puppies stay in our home until the day they leave insuring the first outdoor environment they are exposed to is the one that will be their forever home in hopes to limit their exposure to any potential illness.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
