I'm the breeder behind Lovable Shih Tzus located in Claremont, CA. We breed high-quality Shih Tzus to the AKC standard.
Q. & A. with Nancy
Why did you start breeding?
Because I love the breed and I started 11 years ago, and at the time there were so many breeders out there that were not of the best character. I wanted to be a breeder that people could trust and come to.
What makes your program special?
Our attentiveness to the AKC standard ensures that all buyers will have a loving, healthy companion and addition to their family. It's really important to us to get to know the new family before sending a puppy to its new home. We put a lot of time and love into our puppies and want to ensure the best match for them.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
