Raincrossshihtzu was founded on an ambitious idea. The idea centered around our desire to create a Shihtzu solely designed to excel as a family dog. A Shihtzu designed to fix the many issues that currently plague the breed today. This Shihtzu would excel in functionality as much as beauty. The health of the Shihtzu would be valued and prioritized first and foremost before any other consideration. We would fight to improve the breed, correcting the many poor decisions uneducated breeders have made over the years that have weakened the breed as a whole. Being a family dog, the shihtzu would not only need to be healthy, its personality would also need to be loving and friendly being the absolute joy of the entire family. This founding idea, to create a healthy, functional, and loving shihtzu has guided and driven every decision we have ever made with our breeding program and quite possibly is the best way to describe what our shihtzus really are and what makes us different from your average shihtzu breeder.
Our key is to reduce and eliminate the health issues shihtzus may suffer from through proper genetic selection. All of our shihtzus must pass our Gold Star Health Standard, before being eligible for our breeding program.
A great personality is essential to any shihtzu fitting in seamlessly with a family. We consider the shihtzu breed to have one of the top personalities amongst any dog breed. Their combination of friendly humor and laid back nature fits in with almost every type of family. As a family and high quality shihtzu breeder we do however have a very selective standard for personality that we require from all our shihtzus. We strive for what we like to call a balanced shihtzu. A balanced shihtzu represents what is best about the shihtzu personality.
Proper socialization ensures that your puppy will adapt smoothly to its new home, friends, and family. Each of our puppies are introduced daily to new sounds and experiences that help mold their personality and character. We allow them to interact with other dogs, children, strangers, and even experiences such as a bath to help them develop confidence and ensure proper behavior as an adult. Much of the behavioral issues that adult dogs display are directly related to their upbringing as a puppy and the breeder that raised it. If you are looking for a well socialized shihtzu, we are one of the leaders and innovators in raising confident, socially adept puppies.
