Your Local Shih Tzu Breeder in North Port, FL

I'm the breeder behind Marlene Kenney's Shih Tzus, located in North Port, FL. I am a small breeder, allowing me to give each of my puppies and dogs the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups, and I know you will love them, too!

I have been breeding and showing dogs and cats since the mid-1970s. Since I was old enough to learn breeding basics in the early 1970s, I have always had my hands in some form of involvement with animals. I have had many great mentors through my journeys of breeding, raising, and professionally showing my animals. I love them all and am very thankful to have met them.

I love all animals; however, my Shih Tzu's, I have to say, are the most special of all. They are magical and childlike to me. My dogs are such an important part of my life; they are my life. I am so grateful to be able to help each of my puppies' families experience the same level of joy that my dogs bring me.

I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, health testing, temperament, and breed standards, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents. I am confident that each one will become a treasured family member!
