What is a Chocolate Sable Shih Tzu?
Chocolate sable puppies are born with dark, rich coloring that gradually clears and lightens as they mature, making every week a new transformation. The result is a stunning warm chocolate tone with beautiful depth. These are highly, sought-after puppies you won’t find just anywhere.
What is a Red Shih Tzu?
Red Shih Tzus are one of the most striking and sought-after colors in the breed. Born with a deep, warm tone, their coat develops into a rich, vibrant red as they mature. True red is relatively rare in Shih Tzus - the color is bold, eye-catching, and absolutely stunning in person. No two reds are exactly alike, which makes each puppy truly one of a kind.
Puppy Updates
We are 1 whole week today!
Week 3 Update
We have officially hit the three week mark with Ginger’s Spring 2026 litter and what a difference a week makes! River, Brook, Delta and Cove have transformed so much in just 21 days - their eyes are fully open, their ears are beginning to open, and their personalities are starting to shine through in the sweetest ways.
This week the puppies have become much more mobile and aware of their surroundings. They are starting to interact with each other, wobbling around their whelping box with the most adorable determination. Watching them discover the world around them for the first time never gets old.
Weight checks continue and all four puppies are growing beautifully. We are so proud of this little litter and cannot wait to watch them continue to blossom over the coming weeks.
Families on our wait-list - pick day is getting closer! We will begin individual puppy evaluations and matching conversations around week 6.
Week 6 Update
Six weeks old and we are absolutely head over heels for this litter!
River, Brook, Delta and Cove are full of personality, energy and mischief at six weeks old. The transformation from the tiny sleepy newborns we welcomed on April 7th to the wiggly, playful, opinionated little puppies they are today has been nothing short of magical.
This week is a big one - they received their 6 week vaccinations this week, administered right here at home. Everyone handled their shots like absolute champions and is healthy and thriving. We are so proud of each and every one of them.
Gruel time has become one of the highlights of our day - these puppies dive in with zero hesitation now. Solid food introduction is going beautifully and they are growing stronger and more independent every single day.
Personalities are fully emerged and have been since we began our individual temperament assessments at four weeks old. Each puppy is uniquely themselves - curious, playful, sweet and full of Shih Tzu charm. These assessments help us make the most thoughtful and intentional matches between each puppy and their forever family.
Families on our wait-list - matching conversations are underway and go-home is just around the corner. June 20th will be here before you know it!
