A little about us

Meet Sam & Allyson ❀️

We're a small, family-run breeding program nestled in Pennsylvania, where our love for animals and country living goes hand in hand. To us, our dogs aren't just pets β€” they're part of the family.

We specialize in Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu mixes, and our goal is simple: to help our precious puppies find loving families who will cherish them just as much as we do.

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our puppy journey!

Raised with love, sent home with kisses

Bringing Home Your New Best Friend 🏑

Raised Right Here at Home

Our puppies have their own special room inside our home. We spend lots of time cuddling, playing, and helping them prepare for their forever families. Puppies stay with their moms until weaned and are kept separate from our other adult dogs for safety. When appropriate, our nieces and nephews join us for supervised playtime.

Ready at Eight Weeks

Our puppies typically go home at eight weeks, when they're healthy and ready. They receive age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, and a puppy wellness check.

A Little Gift Bag 🎁

Every puppy goes home with vaccination and veterinary records, plus pee pads, a toy, puppy food, and a cozy blanket to help them settle in.

Good things to know

Frequently Asked Questions

How do reservations and puppy selection work?

A $300 deposit reserves an available puppy or a waiting-list spot. For expectant litters, we take deposits for first pick boy and first pick girl; further reservations wait until the puppies are born. First deposit gets first pick for the applicable spot.

Is the deposit refundable?

Deposits are nonrefundable and applied toward your puppy's purchase price. They may be transferred to another available or future puppy for up to one year from the original deposit date. A transfer doesn't guarantee a particular puppy, gender, color, or litter.

What if my preferred gender isn't born?

You can choose the opposite gender from the same litter, subject to availability, or transfer your deposit to the next litter with your preferred gender.

How do I pay?

Deposits are accepted by check, Zelle, or Venmo. The remaining balance is due in cash at pickup. If we hold a puppy beyond eight weeks at your request, we may require the remaining balance at eight weeks.

Where do we pick up our puppy?

We're in northwestern Pennsylvania near the Ohio state line. Pickups are at a nearby public location. Travel closer to your location may be available for an additional fee.

Can we visit before pickup?

We don't offer in-person visits, to protect the safety of our family and puppies. We typically send photos or videos to families who have selected a puppy every week to week and a half, depending on our schedules.

Are the puppies AKC registered?

Some litters are registered and others are not. Please ask about the registration status of the litter you're interested in.

Do you offer a health guarantee?

A written one-year guarantee for life-threatening congenital conditions is available upon request. Please contact us for the full terms.

Will my puppy be potty trained?

We do our best to introduce puppy pads, but eight-week-old puppies are not fully potty trained and will need continued patience and training in their new homes.

How much are puppies?

Please contact us for current pricing and availability.
