Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Loyal Shih Tzu located in Peoria, AZ. I have 3 females and 1 male that I breed at any given time. They are my pets/family members. All of our Shih Tzus are registered with AKC. We offer Full AKC option, Puppy Cam Check ins, Weekly development updates and so much more. We only breed standard size (9-14 lbs).
Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
One Shih Tzu lead to 4 Shih Tzus all registered with AKC. I researched AKC standards and saw my dogs met those standards. I looked into the pedigrees I was given from the breeders and saw good lineage. We thought maybe more good people could use some Shih Tzu Miracles in there life, like we had in ours. We have been breeding since 2019 and only breed AKC Standard Sized Registered Shih Tzus.What makes your program special?
We aren't sure how we are special over other local breeders of purebred AKC Shih Tzus... In groups and forums they have all been knowledgible, kind and helpful. We want to be the same, but smaller. This is not our job, this is just something we do sometimes to help the world by breeding Shih Tzus to standards. We are becoming known for our "Puppy Photo Shoots" and Live Puppy Cam options.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gold, red, black and white, red and white, gold and white, brindle and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Tina is very kind and genuine in her care for the parents and babies. Her communication is consistent and very helpful. From our initial contact to the day we picked up our baby Tina was always available to respond to all of our questions. Her understanding of the breed, care for their health and well being is outstanding. We wouldn't hesitate to have another shih tzu from Tina's family nor hesitate to recommend her. Tina truly is a very kind person who only wants the best for all involved with getting a new baby shih tzu!

I am unable to send a photo at this time but Fay is doing well. She has tackled the stairs, can sit on command now and is very vocal when she wants something. Her vet appointment went great. There was absolutely no concerns. She is cute and sassy. I love her so much!
