Silhouette Shih Tzu is an AKC show home for quality Shih Tzu located in the Northern California foothills. Our Tzu are whelped and raised at our home and with the exception of fully coated show dogs, they pretty much run our household and us. We are members of Golden Gate Shih Tzu.
We have been breeding and showing Shih Tzu for several years. We owe most of our modest successes to the fact that Shanon Moberly of Centerfold Shih Tzu trusted us with her girls when we were just novices and most especially with a puppy that ultimately became BISS & Gp1 Ch. Centerfold's Western Silhouette "Tina", the #2 Shih Tzu bitch in the US for 2005, thanks to the expert handling by our good friend, Mr. Don Rodgers.
Centerfold and Shente linebred Tzu dominate our breeding lines. We have continued with line-breeding and have recently introduced both Wenrick (Woody and Shane) and Shotune (Keeper) males into the mix with outstanding success in some cases. One of big Keeper's get is our "Keepie", who on 9/11/2008 became a BISS by winning the Kopper Valley Specialty in Salt Lake. Keepie's dam is a linebred Centerfold girl.
While we breed solely for the purposes of improving the breed and showing the results of those breedings at AKC and ASTC events, we do have Shih Tzu puppies and retired adults that will ultimately go into pet homes. Please see the appropriate pages for what we might have available at any given time.
Pet Shih Tzu are only placed with a neuter/spay agreement. We will not ship young puppies and we strongly prefer to meet prospective owners in person where practical.
