The Luckie Puppy is a boutique AKC Shih Tzu breeder in Georgia, thoughtfully raising companion-focused Shih Tzus in our home. We produce a limited number of carefully planned litters each year, prioritizing temperament, structure, and long-term health.

Our program is intentionally selective, with placement by application only.

What AKC Registration Means

As an AKC Shih Tzu breeder in Georgia, all of our breeding dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC).

AKC registration confirms

  • Verified lineage

  • Breed standard adherence

  • Pedigree documentation

  • Responsible record keeping

While registration alone does not guarantee quality, it reflects our commitment to maintaining breed integrity within our program.

Each puppy placed from The Luckie Puppy is eligible for AKC registration and is sold with appropriate documentation.

A Limited, In-Home Program

Unlike large-scale breeding operations, we intentionally maintain a small, home-based program in South Georgia.

Our Shih Tzus are raised:

  • Inside our home

  • With daily interaction

  • With early neurological stimulation

  • With structured social exposure

  • With temperament-based evaluation prior to placement

We serve families throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, Valdosta, and surrounding areas, as well as families nationwide.

Temperament-Focused Pairings

As an AKC Shih Tzu breeder in Georgia, our priority is never color alone. Each pairing is selected to support:

  • Balanced, affectionate temperaments

  • Confident but gentle personalities

  • Structural soundness

  • Long-term companion suitability

We do not produce frequent litters. Our breeding schedule is intentional and limited to ensure individual attention and thoughtful placement.

Availability & Reservation Process

Puppies from The Luckie Puppy are placed by application only.

When a litter is expected:

  • Priority reservations are offered to pre-qualified families

  • Selection is made in order of confirmed reservation

  • Placement is based on temperament and suitability

Because we limit the number of AKC Shih Tzu litters we produce each year, availability is often reserved prior to birth.
