Sensational Shih Tzus

Sensational Shih Tzus is a Shih tzu breeder in Manteca, CA, in the Central Valley near Stockton. With more than a decade of experience breeding Shih tzu, Charla Carpenter has refined her program to emphasize gentle temperament, sound structure and long-term health. She follows national Shih tzu club standards for health screening, genetic testing and registry documentation, and consults with a local veterinarian on growth monitoring.

Puppies are raised underfoot in the home with daily socialization, gentle introductions to household routines and gradual acclimation to grooming and obedience basics. Adult dogs enjoy a climate-controlled area connected to secure outdoor spaces with shaded runs, daily play sessions and cozy indoor bedding. Pedigree records accompany each puppy and basic veterinary care, including deworming and core vaccinations, is completed before they join their new families. Charla remains available for guidance on grooming, training and long-term wellbeing. Litters are carefully limited to preserve individual attention, and puppies receive early social exposure to children and other pets.
