Kooiker's Pets

Kooiker's Pets is a Shih tzu and bichon frise breeder in Boyden, IA, northwest Iowa near Sioux City. They have long been dedicated to small companion breeds, working with guidelines from major canine registries and ensuring each adult dog undergoes health screenings recommended for hips, eyes and cardiac function. Litters also include West Highland white terriers and miniature Dachshunds, all raised indoors with daily socialization and supervised play in a secure yard.

Bev Kooiker oversees every stage, from careful feeding schedules to early social enrichment with gentle handling and noise desensitization. Puppies live as part of the family and receive basic training milestones before joining their new homes. Many owners appreciate the even temperaments and adaptability their dogs show in busy households or quieter environments. They also offer guidance on nutrition and routine health care to support lifelong wellbeing. Each puppy leaves with a personalized care kit that includes feeding guidelines, enrichment toys and a blanket scented with its littermates.
