🐾 AKC Shih Tzu Breeder in Missouri
We are proud to raise beautiful, healthy Shih Tzu puppies from carefully selected AKC-registered parents. Our Shih Tzu puppies are raised on our family farm in the peaceful Missouri countryside, where they receive daily care, early socialization, and plenty of attention.
Shih Tzus are one of the most beloved companion dog breeds in the world. Known for their affectionate personalities, charming expressions, and loyal companionship, these small dogs make wonderful family pets and are perfectly suited for both houses and apartments.
Our goal as responsible breeders is to produce healthy, well-socialized Shih Tzu puppies that will thrive as lifelong companions.
❤️ About Our Shih Tzu Breeding Program
Our Shih Tzu breeding program focuses on health, temperament, and breed quality. Each of our breeding dogs is carefully selected based on health testing, DNA screening, and excellent temperament.
All of our Shih Tzu parents are:
• 🏆 AKC Registered
• 🧬 DNA Tested
• 🩺 Health Tested
• Carefully selected for temperament and structure
By focusing on responsible breeding practices, we work to ensure our puppies have the best possible start in life.
Shih Tzus are known for their gentle, loving personalities. They thrive on companionship and enjoy being part of the family. Because of their friendly nature, they tend to do very well with children, other pets, and visitors.
🌾 Raised on Our Missouri Farm
Our puppies are raised on our farm in the quiet countryside of Missouri. This environment provides a calm and safe place for puppies to grow, explore, and develop strong social skills.
From the time they are born, our puppies are handled daily and exposed to normal household sounds and activities. Early socialization plays an important role in helping puppies grow into confident and well-adjusted dogs.
Because our puppies are raised in a family environment, they are accustomed to human interaction and develop strong bonds with people from a young age.
We believe the first weeks of a puppy’s life are extremely important for long-term temperament and behavior, which is why we dedicate a great deal of time and care to early development.

🧬 Health Testing and Responsible Breeding

Health testing helps us make responsible breeding decisions and reduces the risk of inherited health concerns.
Our commitment to responsible breeding helps ensure that our puppies grow into strong, healthy companion dogs.
When families bring home one of our Shih Tzu puppies, they can feel confident knowing their puppy comes from a carefully planned breeding program focused on long-term health and temperament.
🎁 What Comes With Your Shih Tzu Puppy
Each puppy goes home with everything they need to start their new life with their family.
Your Shih Tzu puppy will include:
• 📄 AKC registration paperwork
• 🩺 Veterinary health check
• 💉 Age-appropriate vaccinations
• 🐾 Deworming schedule
• 📋 Health record
• 🔎 Microchipped
• 🎁 Puppy starter kit
We also provide ongoing support to our puppy families and are always happy to answer questions after your puppy goes home.
🔎 The Importance of Microchipping Your Puppy
The safety and long-term wellbeing of our puppies is extremely important to us. That’s why every Shih Tzu puppy we place is microchipped before going to their new home.
A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is safely placed under the puppy’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinarians, shelters, and animal control facilities.
If a pet ever becomes lost, the microchip helps quickly identify the owner and greatly increases the chances of a safe return.
🐾 Why Microchipping Matters
• Helps lost pets be reunited with their families
• Provides permanent identification for your dog
• Can be scanned by veterinarians and shelters nationwide
• Adds an extra layer of protection for your pet
According to veterinary organizations, microchipped dogs are much more likely to be reunited with their owners if they ever become lost.
🎁 Included With Your Puppy
As part of our commitment to responsible breeding and puppy care, we provide microchipping for every puppy at no additional cost.
Your puppy will go home with:
• Microchip already placed
• Microchip registration will be paid for by the breeder to ensure the safe return of the puppy through AKC Reunite
• Instructions on how to register your contact information
Registering the microchip ensures that if your puppy is ever found, you can be contacted immediately.
Our goal is to help every puppy stay safe and connected with their family for life.
