Kayla’s experience

  • About Kayla

    Hi, we are the breeders behind Jenkins Puppy Paradise! We breed AKC Shihtzus. Our puppies/adults have a heated and air conditioned building, tv that plays animal planet 24/7 for them, a outside play area of an acre, and lots of love from my husband and I.

  • What makes Kayla’s program special

    We’ve fallen in love with the breed and our clients! Our dogs are from championship bloodlines, they are akc registered, they are exposed to other voices and people, tv, equipment as we live on a farm, other dogs, chickens etc. they’re used to all noises! We live on a mountain so they are also used to a higher elevation.

Puppy prices range from $800 - $1,800 and include a non-refundable deposit of $50.

“Included with your puppy are the health certificate, puppy kit, etc. We accept deposits through money order or in person. The deposit is non-refundable if something happens to the puppy within the first 72 hours and they go to vet that week and it’s something genetic we have a new puppy replacement guarantee. We have a contract stating this more in depth. We also will ALWAYS take the puppy back if you’re moving or cannot keep them. You are required to take the pup to the vet for a checkup within the first 72 hours in order to qualify for a replacement, if something happens. Proof of this and vaccines will be required for anyone having issues.”

More about Kayla

  • Why Kayla started breeding

    I’ve always loved Shihtzus, and used to play with one across the street as a little girl. We started out with breeding jacktzus, and then decided to get into breeding AKC shihtzus for hypoallergenic pups! We love these dogs like our own children, and hope you will do the same 🤍
