There is ONLY 1 kind of shih tzu and that is the one described in the AKC breed standard. Our shih tzu weigh between 9 - 16 lbs at adult weight.

We do not breed "imperials". We may occasionally have a smaller shih tzu available, but we do not breed for them.

About Us

Am / Can Ch Jen Mi's Four Wheel Drive
(My FIRST Champion)

I started showing and breeding in Shih Tzu in 1976 when the breed had only been recognized by the AKC for 7 years.  
 
My first champion, Am Can Ch Jen Mi's Four Wheel Drive, "Driver"  was a wonderful little dog and a great foundation for any breeder to start with. With his marvelous large head and beautiful large full dark eyes he was a true show dog that made him a wonderful companion and great producer, he is now gone and sadly missed.
 
Here at Peking we actively show our dogs at AKC shows and almost always have a new dog to show each year, and have new champions yearly.  All our dogs are home raised as pets and live a very good comfortable life within the home. Once they have finished their championships, they are cut down and allowed to run and play and are never put back in a pen.
 
Occasionally we have some lovely puppies for sale and all puppies that are not going to show homes are sold on spay/neuter agreements and are given  health guarantees, all have excellent coats, and have superb healthy backgrounds with only the best in temperaments as all puppies have been hand raised.  Many colors of gold/white, red/white, solid red/black mask and solid black and black/whites are now being produced by our boys and girls.  Inquires are always welcome and invited. What better subject to talk about than my beloved Shih Tzu!
