| My love of Shih Tzu's began in 1998. I was home from work after a back injury and my husband and I were also in the process of building our new home. The plan was once our home was built , my husband would get his Boxer that he always wanted and I would get my German Shepard. As life would have it nothing ever goes as planned. |
I have been breeding healthy well adjusted puppies for 20 years now, and have always offered a 5 Year Health guarantee, I have been fortunate to start out with the Best Shih Tzu from some of the Best Shih Tzu breeders out there who long before me showed and made sure they bred nothing but the best . We have never had any kidney, liver, heart , eye , hip , skin problems , we have just never had any issues all our dogs get regular Health checks , vaccinations as needed .
ChipandDale ShihTzu is located in New Brunswick Canada. We are 20 min from the Village of Chipman. Aprox 1 and a half hours from Fredericton, St. John and Moncton.
I am not a member of the CKC, but I do breed CKC registered Shih Tzu , but I also breed non-registered Shih Tzu, whose lines originated from my very 1st 3 Shih Tzu; from back in 1997. The Canada Pedigree Act has strict rules as to selling of Pure Breed Dogs . You do not have to be a member of the CKC to register pure bred dogs " It is a registry " that is it. I also breed Pure bred Morgan Horses and " The law states that all pure bred animals should be registered" So these registries are in place so we can do just that. Even without member ship. Being a member of any of these organizations does not make me a better and more trusted breeder.

Many CKC breeders will tell you to stay away from breeders who breed for color . I did not start out with the plan to breed for anything but the colors I was use to " Traditional colors of black and white, gold and white and my favorite red and white. Then this beautiful little boy came along that I purchased and we started to get more solids and different colors, Colors that have been very popular with our many familiesl"The old breeders of yesterday and many of the new ones coming up and show their shih tzu think this is wrong. I disagree , I love them in every color and will continue to incorporate a little color , I am not that old fashion that I can't see that they are just as beautiful as the old traditional colors I started with and love, but now I love them all and it's always neat to wait for the births just to see what will come of this one or that ones litter. What surprises ???? Added note , my boy who ended up bringing color into our ShihTzu was a liver, and he came from one of the top show breeders winning in both Canada and the U.S and around the world for 40 years now. He would never have been shown because of his liver pigment, a color many years ago considered a no no. In the end it is really about healty, loving Shih tzu not about color, that is just an added bonus for many who would just like something a little different.
ChipandDale's are now producing some new colors besides the traditional colors of gold and white and red and white and tri's we have had solid black's , dobbies both in gold and reds and this year dark dobbies, brindle's and sable's , chocolate, solid colors like red, and even blues. Blue as described does not necessarily mean a blue Shih Tzu, but yes we have had our first this year out of Jolene a beautiful blue boy. But to qualify for the name blue. The nose, the pads etc have to be blue, it does not necessarily mean the color will be blue. We also had a blue " Sable girl" out of Jolene. She is a beautiful sable color with blue skin , pads and nose. And we also have had Liver colors and Lavender. We are trilled at a new breeding and in anticipation to see just what new color we will produce. They are all beautiful and it's been a joy to watch them change and grow .
