Selecting Breeding Pairs

  1. Lineage Review

    We thoroughly analyze the pedigrees of potential breeding dogs to prevent mating between closely related individuals and to incorporate varied ancestral backgrounds.

    Genetic Testing

    Every breeding dog undergoes extensive genetic evaluations to detect and avoid passing on hereditary health issues or undesirable traits.

    Physical Assessment

    We evaluate the physical attributes and conformation of our breeding dogs to select for favorable traits while also introducing new phenotypes.

    Temperament Evaluation

    Assessing the friendly and balanced temperaments of breeding dogs is essential for fostering positive behavioral traits in their puppies.

    Health and Vitality

    We prioritize breeding dogs that exhibit excellent health and a track record of longevity, ensuring that their puppies inherit strong, resilient constitutions.

    Geographic Collaboration

    Whenever possible, we partner with other breeders to integrate genetic material from varied geographical areas, enhancing diversity.

    By taking a comprehensive approach to these critical factors, we can strategically match our Shih Tzu breeding dogs, thereby preserving and enriching the overall genetic diversity of our program. This commitment is vital for the long-term health and vitality of the breed.

Ensuring the Health And Wellbeing of Our Breeding Dogs

The well-being and health of our breeding dogs are our highest priority. We take a comprehensive approach to ensure they receive top-notch care:

Thorough Veterinary Care

Each breeding dog undergoes detailed health assessments and genetic evaluations before being bred. They receive regular check-ups, vaccinations, and preventive care from our trusted veterinary team.

Superior Living Environment

Our breeding dogs are housed in spacious, climate-controlled facilities that provide plenty of room for movement, play, and relaxation. They enjoy daily exercise, socialization, and engaging activities to fulfill their physical and mental needs. Our facility is maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness, safety, and hygiene.

Responsible Breeding Practices

We follow rigorous breeding protocols, allowing adequate recovery time between litters and ensuring our female dogs are never overworked. We carefully select mating pairs based on genetic diversity, health backgrounds, and adherence to breed standards. Pregnancies are closely monitored, and we provide exceptional prenatal and postnatal care for our mothers.

Retirement and Rehoming

Once our breeding dogs reach the end of their reproductive lives, we retire them from our program. These cherished companions are placed in loving, permanent homes where they can enjoy their retirement surrounded by care and affection.

By focusing on the health, comfort, and happiness of our breeding dogs, we produce Shih Tzu puppies that are not only stunning but also healthy and resilient. Our unwavering commitment to outstanding canine care is the cornerstone of our breeding philosophy.

Ensuring Genetic Diversity in Our Breeding Program

Ensuring genetic diversity is essential for the enduring health and vitality of our Shih Tzu breeding program. We utilize various approaches to achieve this goal:

Selective Breeding

We meticulously choose breeding pairs based on their distinct genetic backgrounds, steering clear of closely related dogs. This practice introduces new genetic material with each generation.

Bloodline Management

We keep comprehensive records of our dogs’ pedigrees and genetic information. This enables us to analyze family trees and make informed decisions to avoid inbreeding.

Outcrossing

Occasionally, we incorporate unrelated Shih Tzu bloodlines into our breeding program. This infusion of new genetics helps to diminish the risk of inheriting negative traits.

Genetic Testing

All our breeding dogs undergo thorough genetic testing to uncover any potential health issues or hereditary conditions. This information guides our breeding decisions to minimize the transmission of undesirable traits.

Collaboration with Other Breeders

We actively connect with other reputable Shih Tzu breeders to share insights and explore opportunities for exchanging diverse breeding stock. This cooperative strategy helps maintain a wider gene pool for the breed overall.

By implementing these diverse strategies, we can produce Shih Tzu puppies with strong genetic diversity, ensuring the long-term health, vigor, and resilience of our breeding lines for future generations.
