Elegant Shih-Tzu

Elegant Shih-Tzu raises AKC-registered Shih Tzu puppies in Janesville, California, a small community in Lassen County in the northeastern part of the state, roughly an hour north of Susanville. The program is run by Rachel Tamplen, whose motivation for breeding grew from a personal need — her son's dog-hair allergies made it essential to source dogs that carried the true, low-shedding coat characteristics of the breed.

That focus on genuine breed traits extends to health. Each female is bred no more than once per year, keeping litter numbers deliberately small and allowing Rachel to give focused attention to every puppy before it goes home. Puppies are placed on limited AKC registration and are intended solely as companion animals for families.

For those searching for Shih Tzu puppies in Northern California, Elegant Shih-Tzu represents a small-scale home program where the emphasis is on healthy, well-socialized dogs rather than high-volume production.
