Hi! Welcome to the
home of Pien Ji Shih Tzu. I am a small
breeder of show quality Shih Tzu in the Seattle, Washington area.
This is Red Fred (BISS CH Pien Ji's Red Fred,
CGC)- my first homebred champion (though I own Bob,
his father, and co-own Keeper, his
grandfather!).
Red Fred finished entirely from the Bred-By
Exhibitor class and went Best in Specialty Show (Judge Zell Von Pohlman -
picture above) his first time in the ring as a champion- all owner handled!
And Bob is tied
for being the
5th best producer
of champion Shih Tzu for the US in 2008!
Boy, does he make pretty babies! See Mun
Kee, Lolli Doll & Red
Fred!
My Shih Tzu are bred
for type, temperament, and health, and even in a sweet breed like this, my Shih
Tzu are known for being exceptionally sweet, loving, and well mannered. I wouldn't have it
any other way! My babies live in my house, and while I firmly believe
that purebred dogs should only be bred to the standard and
for breed improvement, I feel that if your pups aren't a true delight to live
with, you have failed!
AKC & Int'l CH Pien Ji's Chun Kee Mun
Kee (the face at the top of the page) is a great example of what I am striving for,
as is BISS AKC & Int'l CH Pien Ji's Red
Fred, CGC.
They are
beautiful, have heads to die for, lovely outlines, but what strikes people about
them is how sweet and loving they are. Shih Tzu being a companion animal,
I feel this is the true test- do they do what they were bred for?
In the website, you can find
information for the Shih Tzu owner concentrating on puppy care,
feeding and grooming of your Shih Tzu.
There is a
section on color- did you know you can register
with more colors than are listed on the registration slip? You just need
to know the color code! And the page that explains
Blue Shih Tzu in more detail gets great
reviews for readability, which isn't easy when talking genetics!
And, of
course, there is a bit about the
family of Pien
Ji Shih Tzu (Boys, Girls, Pups), and their pedigrees.
Shih Tzu puppies
are available very occasionally, on spay/neuter contracts, to wonderful loving
local homes! (I breed very little and sell close enough that I can keep in
touch with my pups. Sorry- I won't ship pups.)
There are some puppy pictures on the site, but it is best to
email a puppy application (link below) to me to see what is currently available or expected! I only have
two litters a year,
so don't expect one right away. I think they are worth waiting for- and
the people that have my kids agree!
A quick way to find what you want to see is to use the 'Contents' links at the top of each page. If you don't see information you are looking for,
e-mail me and I'll try to help!
I am a board member of the Gig Harbor Kennel Club, as well as being their
webmaster. I am also a member of the Puget Sound Shih Tzu Fanciers.
Thank you for stopping by- I hope you enjoy your visit!
