The Family Shih Tzu

The Family Shih Tzu, Shih Tzu breeder in Gilbert, AZ, is quietly rooted in Maricopa County and Phoenix. Rachel Conover has worked with Shih Tzu for years and follows breed club guidelines while maintaining detailed health records for each dog. Health screenings for patella luxation and eye conditions help ensure puppies start life on a strong footing, and routine veterinary exams support ongoing well-being. Puppies grow up alongside the family in a home setting with daily socialization and gentle handling.

They enjoy exposure to common household sounds, playtime with older dogs and visits from friends. Early introduction to basic grooming routines helps ease stress as puppies adapt to new environments. Adult dogs reside in indoor kennels connected to a secure yard and receive a balanced diet overseen by a veterinarian. Visitors note the calm atmosphere and steady temperaments that carry into each puppy’s first months in new homes.
