More about Erin

  • Why Erin started breeding

    We were interested in adding a Pug and a Shih Tzu to our family, at different times. We had a difficult time finding them in Indiana. We had families tell us that they would love a Pug or Shih Tzu, but didn’t know where to find one. We had produced and raised puppies before and believed we should again. So began the “adventure” into our breeding programs.
