Sweetbriar Shih Tzu

Sweetbriar Shih Tzu is a Shih Tzu breeder in Buffalo, Missouri in Dallas County and the Ozarks near Springfield.

Jennifer Pounds-Anderson has been breeding Shih Tzu for over a decade, participating in regional and national dog shows and maintaining membership in respected breed clubs. She follows American Kennel Club guidelines and arranges veterinary health screenings for hips, eyes and heart to support each puppy’s long-term well-being. Puppies are raised in a family setting, enjoying daily socialization with children and other household pets, and introduced to basic training and crate habits from an early age.

Litters are planned with attention to temperament and conformation, reflecting a commitment to the breed’s companion heritage. Sweetbriar Shih Tzu also offers informal meetups where families can observe adult dogs’ gentle demeanor and ask about at-home care. Families frequently note the breeder’s detailed photo and video updates and ongoing support during the first year with a new puppy.
