Briar Road Shih Tzu's

Briar Road Shih Tzu’s Shih Tzu, Mineral City, OH, Tuscarawas County and northeast Ohio near Canton is a family-run breeder. Montague maintains her dogs according to breed club guidelines and ensures routine health screenings for eyes, hips and cardiac function. Each puppy grows up in a home setting where they share daily life with family members.

Puppies start socialization early, spending time with children, cats and visiting friends to develop calm, confident temperaments. Lines go back several generations of companion-minded Shih Tzu, and a handful of former pups now visit local eldercare communities in therapy roles. Dogs live indoors with access to secure outdoor spaces, and temperature-controlled areas ensure comfort year-round.

The breeding program values temperament as much as appearance, aiming for friendly, adaptable adult dogs. New owners receive detailed records on vaccination schedules, feeding recommendations and developmental milestones to support a smooth transition.
