Our boys
Meet our fathers
Our sires are family dogs who happen to be lovely examples of the breed. Temperament comes first here, and every boy is health-tested before he is used.
Sire
Pepper
- Gold and white
- 4 years old
- AKC registered
- Health-tested, BOAS assessed
Pepper is quieter and more thoughtful, with a lovely compact frame and a calm, watchful nature. He passes on a steady temperament that suits gentler homes and first-time owners beautifully.
Why temperament comes first
A Shih Tzu should be sturdy, sociable and comfortable in its own body. We choose our boys for sound structure, a well-set coat and an easy, affectionate nature — never for exaggeration. Every sire is screened before use, and we are happy to share results with any family who asks.
