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.

  • GoodDog.com responsible breeder members.
  • We use Avidog, Puppy Culture, early socialization, training, and puppy rearing techniques to ensure the easiest transition and best long term companions for you. We combine science and natural maternal nurturing to support your puppy’s growth and personality!
  • We have relationships with multiple veterinarians in the area to provide routine care, urgent care, puppy health checks, to seek advice and counsel to make the best choices for the dogs and puppies.
  • Dedicated to continuing our education to provide the best care and environment during the puppies critical early development stage.
