Showing the smaller end of the breed standard.
A small, family-run Shih Tzu house in West Texas. We breed for the cobby, flat-faced, smaller side of the standard — five to nine pounds full grown — with a special love for the rare chocolate and liver coats.
Each puppy is reserved with a $500 non-refundable deposit. Remaining balance is settled at pickup or shipping. If you don't see what you want, text us — we may have it, just not photographed yet.
We've been raising tiny Shih Tzu for over twenty years. Every puppy is born inside the home, raised inside the home, pad-trained on schedule, and current on every vaccine and worming round before they leave us.
We breed for the cobby, flat-faced, smaller side of the Shih Tzu standard — most of our adults are below the 9-pound show minimum, which is exactly the pocket-sized type we're after. We have a particular love for the rarer chocolate and liver coats: dark chocolate, light chocolate, white chocolate, the whole range.
We are hobby breeders. We show with the AKC for the love of the breed, not for championships. The dogs that don't quite make show conformation are placed as pets — honestly, with full disclosure of why they wouldn't have showed.
Many tiny Shih Tzu puppies have left this house for homes across Texas and the country. Here are a few of them.















We show with the AKC for the love of it. Most of our dogs are below the 9-pound minimum — we go to prove the tiny ones have just as good conformation as the bigger ones.

Pieces sized for the tiny end of the breed. Add to your reservation — ships with the puppy.
Free of known genetic defect that would cause death, certified by us at placement and validated by your vet within the contract window.
Up to date on every round, wormed on schedule. Records travel home with the puppy.
Full AKC or CKC, your choice. Full AKC removes breeding restrictions — we disclose what we observed.
If a puppy isn't right for show, we tell you why and place them as pets. We match by fit, not by deposit speed.
"We rest with our family from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday — we'll write you back after."
A $500 non-refundable deposit holds the puppy and removes them from the listing. We will email you the bill of sale within one business day. The remaining balance is due at pickup or shipping.
