I am a very small hobby breeder with 2 registered Shih Tzu females and 1 male that are my very special pets. My puppies are raised in my house where I spend a great deal of time playing with each of them. I operate a small ranch which I call the Promised Land Ranch, in the mountains of Colorado where I have beef cows, pigs,, chickens, horses, etc. as well as the Shih Tzus, so my dogs have lots of space to run and play and interact with the animals. They are never in cages!
This breeder hasn't written any updates yet, maybe ask them why?
