About Us and Miracle Shih Tzu

Trusted, Practical Guidance for Shih Tzu Owners From a Lifetime With the Breed

Shih Tzus are affectionate, expressive little dogs with big personalities. The people who love them tend to be just as devoted.

Miracle Shih Tzu exists for owners who want to care for their dogs thoughtfully and responsibly. Whether you are learning about the breed, welcoming a new companion, working through a challenge, or researching ethical breeding, this site offers practical, experience-based guidance you can rely on.

Who This Site Is For

Miracle Shih Tzu was created to support people at different stages of life with a Shih Tzu, including:

• Owners facing a problem, such as health concerns, behavior issues, grooming challenges, nutrition questions, or daily care
• New Shih Tzu owners who want to understand the breed and start off on the right foot
• People considering a puppy or a rescue who want honest, breed-specific information before committing
• Those interested in breeding, with an emphasis on responsibility, health, and long-term well-being

If you care about making informed decisions and doing what is best for your dog, you are in the right place.

Wonder How I Built This Website?

I'm not a coding expert or even a graphic designer.  I was able to make this site and update it regularly without any help from expensive web developers.  Want to Know How?  You could do it too! In my SBI review page, I provide all the information you need to help you make a decision about starting an online business. I'd also love to share a video of my online journey.
