Terri Polk is a Shih Tzu breeder in Temple, TX, serving Bell County and Central Texas near Austin. She maintains a breeding program guided by national breed club recommendations, with adult dogs undergoing annual eye examinations, patella evaluations, and cardiac screenings. Puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations and veterinary health checks before leaving for their new homes.

Each pup is raised in her family home, enjoying daily socialization with children and adults to develop a friendly, adaptable temperament.
