We just brought our new beautiful Shih Tzu home! Karl and family were amazing in communicating and creating such a great experience. We couldn’t be more excited and appreciate them making it such an easy, special experience! She is the most perfect addition to our family! We will be back for a friend by the end of the year!

I began my journey with Family Shih Tzu back in November 2024 when I reached out expressing interest in a puppy—specifically a little brown male. From day one, their communication and professionalism were impressive. They were upfront about the expected 3–6 month wait, which I appreciated.In February 2025 they contacted me about a tuxedo male that had become available. Even though he was adorable, I still had my heart set on a brown Shih Tzu. They were incredibly understanding, sent photos and videos without hesitation, explained the process clearly (especially important since I live in Alaska and they are in Gilbert, AZ), and kept me on the list for the next brown male.As the months went on, they stayed in touch and continued updating me about upcoming litters. When the April litter arrived, the one brown male was chosen by the family ahead of me. Again, they were so flexible—allowing me to stay on the list for the next litter, where I moved up to the #1 spot.In November 2025, I finally got the message I’d been waiting for: a new litter of five little boys, including two brown males! I selected one, and he would be ready in December. I let them know I’d be out of the country over the holidays and wouldn’t be able to get to Phoenix until mid-January. They were incredibly accommodating and worked with my travel schedule without any issues.I picked up my little guy (Jack) on January 13, 2026—and he is absolutely perfect. The cutest roly‑poly bundle of joy! He has been such a delight in our home, and we are completely in love with him.Family Shih Tzu is truly an exceptional breeder—professional, responsive, caring, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. They kept me updated every step of the way, were patient with my preferences, and genuinely wanted to match me with the right puppy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Shih Tzu puppy. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in their communication, their process, and the happy, healthy puppies they raise.Thank you, Family Shih Tzu, for making this entire experience so positive—you’ve given us the most precious new family member! 💙🐾
