Puppy Adoption

come get your  well-bred Shih Tzu, focusing on quality, beauty, and temperament. Perfect match guaranteed.

 

Puppy Socialization

Socialized Shih Tzus ready for home life, confident and friendly. Well-prepared for family integration.

We choose to keep our puppies with thier pack until the age of 12 weeks to ensure they receive and learn group socialization and develop proper independence and social skills as well as age appropriate enrichment. such as playing, jumping, climbing as well as natural pecking order.

we also practice (ENS) early nuerological stimulation- a series of brief, gentle exercises that are performed on puppies to improve thier nuerological system.

the benefits of ENS is thought to improve puppies stress response, immune system, cardiovascular system, and growth and development.

ENS also helps prevent issues around new person agression and new situation nervousness. The origin of ENS stems from the U.S military to improve the performance of military working class dogs. This concept was developed by one of our MNPBA speakers that i personally have had the priveledge to attend a seminar by Dr. Carmen Battaglia, a breeder, AKC judge, researcher and well known author.
