Each puppy born here at C&C Shih Tzu is an individual life to be treasured and loved. We do our best to make sure these little guys born here under our care get off to the best start we can provide, There is much involved in planning , whelping and rearing a litter of puppies,It's expensive, time consuming, back breaking and occasionally heartbreaking, Every breeder has had the one puppy[ or more] they couldn't save or the mom that had to have an emergency c-section in the middle of the night, Then there's the litter that had to be completely hand raised because mom was lost, or unable to feed them. So why do we continue to breed dogs? Because for the true lovers of the breed there are also the rewards,,Puppy breath, puppy kisses, holding a warm puppy, watching the puppies take their first wobbly steps, seeing them bounce and roll around playing with their litter mates, and of course seeing the joy on the new owners faces as they hold their new family member in their arms for the first time, ad there's always the hope that one or more of those wobbly babies will grow up and receive his/her championship in the Show Ring, and who knows there may be a future Best In Show winner in there somewhere.
