Falling Star Shih Tzu

Falling Star Shih Tzu has been producing shih tzu in Springfield, Missouri since 1985, making it one of the longer-running programs of its kind in the Ozarks region, about an hour from Branson. The program was founded by Troy Clifford Dargin, who developed a focus on the breed starting in his early teenage years.

Dargin has carried multiple roles in the dog fancy as an AKC judge, breeder, owner, and handler, and the kennel's stated aim is breeding toward the most structurally correct shih tzu possible. Multiple titled dogs appear in the program's pedigrees, reflecting a show-oriented foundation. Families searching for shih tzu puppies in Missouri from a program with deep conformation roots may find Falling Star worth researching. Janice Swofford is also associated with the kennel.
