Teresa's Puppies in a Purse :: Shih Tzu Puppies for Sale

Welcome to Teresa's Puppies in a Purse! I am a small in-home breeder of registered AKC Shih Tzu dogs. My goal is to offer you the most adorable puppy with the best temperament and finest health you can find!

We have puppies for sale and offer a two year guarantee against genetic defects and a full, happy, lifetime of support on our AKC registered dogs. I promise to give you the absolute best customer service possible. See the Testimonials page for what our customers have to say!

I began breeding dogs nearly 8 years ago. The first dog added to my home and family was a maltese named Gidget. She is just beautiful and has produced the cutest babies.

From there I added Yorkies. Rocky was my first Yorkshire Terrier. He was grand champion sired and from a kennel that also showed their dogs. Rocky has the best temperament and that is most important when you have other animals in the household.

In 2007 we added Shih Tzus to our family. I have found them to be happy dogs that love people and get along with my existing 'kids' (dogs). Our first litter of Shih Tzus was born in December 2008.

We currently have six Shih Tzu breeders. All of the dogs are our pets; they live in our home and have access to my yard. I have three granddaughters that love to come over and play with the "kids". I think the dogs need to be around both children and adults.

Finding a good home for one of my puppies is my highest priority. I love to send them home with the new owner smiling and excited to have a new "little one" in their arms. That is the best thank you I can ever receive!

Let me be the one to help you find a cute new purse puppy companion, so please give me a call or send an email today. I never get tired of talking about my babies. What they say is true - "happiness is a warm puppy!"

Thank you for stopping by!

I live in a small town named Rio Dell, California located in Humboldt County - deep in the heart of Redwood Country and the Eel River Valley. Our neighboring Northern California towns include Fortuna, Scotia, Ferndale, Hydesville, Carlotta, and Loleta.

Just a little further north near Humboldt Bay are the cities of Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville - to the south along Highway 101 you'll find Redcrest, Weott, Miranda, Redway, and Garberville along the Avenue of the Giants.
