ABOUT US

We are a retired military family living in Southwest Florida between Sarasota and Fort Myers. We are proud to be responsible breeders of our dream dogs – the Shih Tzu. Kikimora is my own personal service dog. We have 2 autistic teenagers the shih tzus have been greatly therapeutic for. This gives us first hand knowledge and insight towards making breeding decisions with Therapy Dogs, Emotional Support Animals, and Service Dog potential in mind.
