About Stephanie
Hi, I am the foster mom, I am a daycare provider and I’m my mother of four children. I adopt children. I have two stepsons. No grandchildren yet. I live on the eastern shore Maryland, where my puppies are born and raised on my 2 1/2 acres along with their mom and dad as well as their grandparents. I absolutely enjoy delivering the best pups to my families. I also rescue animals make make sure they are healthy and place them in a very good home
What makes Stephanie’s program special
I try not to outdo others. I try not to outdo PRICE by undercutting other breeders. If my families want to go another direction Because my prices are too high, I encourage them and try to find them another breeder within their price range. I have families that follow my page that Ask for advice, even though they haven’t bought a puppy for me and I do not mind giving the advice. Everyone in this world needs a village so I try to be there for support whether you buy my dog or you do not.

Why Stephanie started breeding
I had bought a Shih Tzu from my girlfriend that was my Breeder. All of my friends and family really loved her and told me I should breed her. I didn’t put any thought into it. One day I said let’s Give it a try. I tried to find a stud that was too overwhelming so I bought a stud. My OG female is Ava and my OG male is Niko. They both are still living. I am on my 3rd generation. I have been a breeder of Shih Tzu’s Since 2012.
