xxxThank you so very much for visiting with us at Pembroch Shih Tzus.

xxxxWe are located in Northern Kentucky on five acres of land, twenty-five minutes
south of Cincinnati, Ohio.

xxxxPembroch was established in 1969 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts breeding, raising
and showing Collies. Each weekend from September through May we would pack our
old Ford Van with the three children and at least two Collies and travel throughout the
Eastern third of the United States to the Dog Shows. During a ten year period, we
bred several Champions, and were fortunate enough to show two of our Collie
Champions at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

xxxxIn 1979, we decided we wanted a small breed for a house dog; just one, mind you!
We wanted a breed that was loving, calm, not overactive, good with children and
adults, even strangers. We read every published book concerning Toy Breeds, and
talked to numerous breeders at the shows. After a long three month period, we
decided to buy a Shih Tzu. That was the BEGINNING of Pembroch Shih Tzus!

xxxxIn 1992, we moved to Northern Kentucky and concentrated our efforts totally on
breeding and raising only Shih Tzus. Although we no longer show, we are
committed to breeding to the Shih Tzu Standard recognized by the American
Kennel Club, AKC.   Size 9 to 16 Lbs., temperament, personality and
conformation to the Standard are foremost in importance. Please be sure to read the
article on our Pricing Page concerning the Myth about Imperials, Tiny and Teacup
Puppies written by the American Shih Tzu Club.

xxxxAll of our Shih Tzus puppies are totally house raised, along with our adults who
live in our home with us; or I should say, we live in their home. Our dogs are
never crated or kenneled.

xxxxPlease browse through our pages to see our dogs and puppies. We hope that you
enjoy visiting with us, and feel free to email or call with any comments,
questions or inquiries.

Hi Diane,
xxxI've been meaning to send you pictures of Kitsi ... just needed to sit down and do it! I have so many pictures ... I'll try to send only a few for you to enjoy.

xxxShe's been so wonderful, she's the most loving little girl puppy I've ever seen. She was easy to house break, it took only a few days for her to learn where the door is and
now she sits at the door when she wants to go out. We only had a couple small accidents and it was my fault, I wasn't timing things right! (Not sure who was trained first,
her or me!) She began sleeping through the night on her 3rd night here, we crate trained her, that was easy. She sleeps in her crate on pink bedding and has her little toy
whale from your house, a doll and a red puppy as sleep mates. The puppy can be warmed in the microwave and we did that for a few nights at first but don't have to do that
anymore. She sleeps in her crate in our bedroom ... and she softly snores! That just cracks me up, it's so funny!

xxxShe has lots of toys, she's really pretty spoiled, she has a toy box filled with things. She also has a soft sided bed that she drags all her toys into and then she jumps into
it with all of them and snuggles in for a nap during the day. She loves to play ball and has several varieties, some with bells inside and some that look like tennis balls
and one that's quite large and soft like a stuffed animal! She brings one of them to me when she wants to play and barks at me while holding it in her mouth, it's so funny.
She also likes to play "toss the mallard" with a toy stuffed mallard that we got at Target. I toss the mallard, she retrieves the mallard. Over and over and over again. She's
very playful during the day and then she settles down at night with me on the couch and we watch tv together. She follows me around like my shadow, wherever I go, she
goes along. If I'm gone for 5 minutes and then come back, she's all excited as if I'd been gone for a month and she licks me all over and makes cute little whimpering noises.
There's nothing like puppy love, huh?

xxxI've bought her some cute little clothes too. She has a couple of little sweaters, a red one and a pink one, a yellow rain slicker with duckie buttons, a santa dress and hat
and a few other cute things. She looks really cute in her red turtle neck sweater, red is her color. The first outfit I bought for her was a blue velour sweatsuit, it doesn't fit
her anymore but I took pictures.

xxxShe's been great company for me while Tim's gone on his trips, the days aren't lonely anymore. I just love her to death!
Here's a couple more cute pictures:

xxxShe gets treats for not walking off the set while I'm shooting.

xxxI took her outside to play in the snow today (we got a whopping one inch over here in Wilder!) and she was so funny! She leaped all over the yard like a deer, hopping
around gracefully. She kept burying her face in the snow, she just couldn't get enough of it, didn't know what it was all about.

xxxShe just loved the snow! She loves to eat ice chips so this was pure heaven to her ... all the ice she could eat, right at her paw-tips.
And then I snapped a shot of her right after she got her face out of the snow. See all the ice on her face and chest? Hanging off her eyebrows, eyelashes and her fur? She's too
funny and such a cutie, I just love her to death! I think I said that already, haha.

xxxBut just want you to know that she's happy, healthy and well loved. Thanks so much for such a wonderful puppy.

xxxThanks for the sweet, sweet puppy, we love her so much!
