Hi, I'm Janice and I'm the person behind this website.  I am also a Shih Tzu Breeder who has loved this breed since my first puppy purchased in 1979. 

There has never been a long period where we didn't own one or more Shih Tzu Dogs.  Over the years, I have learned a thing or two about the breed and hope to share some of that knowledge with you.  You can read more about my family here. You might see me blogging at my other two sites:  Small Dog Place for all dog lovers, and Smart-Knit-Crocheting, for anyone who is interested in knitting and crocheting.  Check that site out if you need some free dog sweater patterns.
