About Us

grumpy shih tzu puppy

From the very first Shih Tzu puppy named Yashi over 30 years ago to the most recent puppy addition, Brulee, I have had many experiences to bring the broadest level of knowledge.

Masterpiece Shih Tzu takes pride in breeding and raising quality, sound healthy puppies and pets. We DNA test each adult for health, reproduction traits and purity of the breed.

Here at Masterpiece, we take time to socialize each shih tzu puppy just as we would if it was staying in our home. They have all different ages around them as my grandchildren, 9, 7 and 3 are in my home very often and love these little bundles so much that they even take part in the naming of each litter.

If needed, I can provide nanny service to fly your new family member to the city you are located near. The cost is generally less for you to fly to Minnesota then for me to come to you, but I do provide this service to get you your new family member. :) The cost is determined by airport destination and timing of flights.

I send my shih tzu puppies home with directions for the new family to ensure a smooth transition for all. I believe strongly in raising my moms and dads holistically and on a clean diet to ensure that they have strong gut health to grow into strong adults.

Once my adults are in their strongest health, then the puppies are born with a greater chance of having a healthy start and I continue to raise them holistically as well.

My adults are my pets and are raised in my home and live life fully. The research that I have done and guidance I have gotten continues to show that the "standard" vaccines have proven to be extremely dangerous and detrimental to the health of all. I, therefore, have chosen to defer to the titer testing at 5-7 months and proceed with nosodes as deemed necessary. I have many vets that I have gotten to know and have chosen my primary vet that practices as a holistic trained vet that provides guidance on all issues that may arise.

Using any medications for any health issue ends up causing more issues than not. Once in a great while there might be a cause for proven medical options but that is rare. I provide the option that if you need care for the puppies once adopted, I can provide care for them in a familiar home.

RAISING HEALTHY PUPPIES

Raising Healthy Puppies

Everyone wants to have a healthy puppy-so many people do not think vitamins are necessary because they don’t want the added cost.

What they fail to understand is that their vet bills will be far less when giving a vitamin like this. Nothing else compares to this completely nutritional supplement.

Along with my raw feeding and my holistic approach to care, these vitamins provide the extra boost my moms and dads need to be their healthiest self!

My moms rebound so quickly and they are able to keep up with being a new mommy. My puppies start on them as soon as they start their raw food diet.

Give them a try-it might be the answer to your pet being the best pet ever! (Be sure to use code 317640)
