Thoughtful Beginnings, Planned With Care
At The Luckie Puppy, our litters are planned intentionally and produced in limited numbers each year.
Rather than focusing on availability, we focus on preparation, placement, and compatibility. Our puppies are placed with approved families who share our values and approach to dog ownership.
Availability varies based on planned breedings and application approvals.
Upcoming Litters
Ginger x Kirby
Due April 2, 2026
We are preparing to welcome a carefully planned litter from Ginger and Kirby.
This pairing has previously produced affectionate, balanced companions in beautiful red, lavender, and dobie variations. Both parents are known for their exceptionally sweet, people-oriented temperaments and calm, confident personalities.
We expect this litter to reflect the same gentle, adaptable qualities that make Shih Tzus such devoted companions.
Priority reservations are now open for a limited number of families.
Only 2 spots remaining for this litter
Priced at: $3,200
Reservation fee: $500 (applied towards purchase price)
Reservation fees are non-refundable but transferable to a future litter within 12 months
Selection is made in order of reservation once puppies are 4 weeks old
Both parents are Embark DNA health tested.
We do not guarantee specific color or sex prior to birth. Placement is based on temperament, suitability, and reservation order.
If you are interested in being considered for this litter, we invite you to complete our application.
Placement and Selection
We do not place puppies on a first-come, first-served basis.
As puppies grow, we observe temperament, personality, and developmental milestones. Placement guidance is offered to help ensure the best match between puppy and family.
Pick day is scheduled once puppies are old enough for meaningful evaluation.
Investment
A Luckie Puppy is an investment in intentional breeding, early development, and long-term companionship.

This investment reflects:
Purposeful breeding and limited litters
In-home Raising and early development
Veterinary care, vaccinations and microchipping
Health documentation and guarantee
Time, care, and individualized attention
Pricing may vary based on individual puppy factors and future program costs.

Reservation and Payment
Approved families may be invited to place a reservation for an upcoming litter.
Reservations secure a place on the wait-list but do not guarantee a specific puppy. Final placement is determined after temperament evaluations.
Additional details regarding reservations and timing are provided after application approval.
A Thoughtful Process
Our goal is to create calm, successful placements that support both puppy and family for the long term.
We ask families to approach this process with patience and flexibility, understanding that thoughtful placement takes time.
Ready to Begin?
If you feel aligned with our approach and values, we invite you to apply for consideration.
We believe the right puppy, raised with intention and placed with care, becomes a lifelong companion.
