Maria Aceves, Shih tzu, Fresno, CA, is nestled in the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield. Her interest in dogs dates back to childhood, inspired by a family pet that showcased the breed’s gentle nature.

She has been raising Shih tzu for over a decade, holding membership in the American Kennel Club and following its breeding standards. Each adult dog undergoes health screenings for patellar luxation, eye conditions and heart murmurs, with results documented for transparency. Puppies are born and raised indoors, receiving daily handling and exposure to household routines to build confidence and adaptability.

Her home-based setting includes a fenced yard where puppies can explore safely and begin supervised outdoor play. Maria’s ongoing learning includes workshops on puppy behavior, and she collaborates with local veterinarians for early wellness checks. Prospective owners receive detailed guidance on grooming requirements, vaccinations and early training steps before taking a puppy home.
