Serendipity Shih tzu
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Serendipity Shih tzu located in Washington. Our dogs are so special to us. We felt compelled to get more involved and do our part to positively impact the breed we love so much. We are very passionate about dogs and responsible breeding practices. We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs.
