Welcome To Ryan's Shih Tzu

Hello, I am Jessica Ryan. I started Ryan's Shih Tzu in 2004. I am dedicated to producing the very best quality Shih Tzu possible. All breeding's are carefully planned in order to produce our next show baby. I do occasionally have pets available to the public. Our pet babies are sold with spay/neuter agreements and AKC limited registration. I do not sell dogs for breeding purposes. I would be happy to share information with you about this breed. This web site gives others the opportunity to look into our facilities as well as information on how we keep our dogs and what is currently happening. Ryan's Shih Tzu is a small show home located in Illinois. Our goal is to breed the best Shih Tzu we can for health, temperament and conformation.

I continue to stay active in the conformation ring & enjoy showing & will handle other dogs too. The purpose of showing dogs is to have a judge evaluate them to see how close they fit the breed standard. Having our dogs evaluated by a judge helps us continue to produce correct representations of the breed. Please refer to the Shih Tzu Standard at http://www.akc.org/ for more information about the breed and its origin.

I just adore the Shih Tzu with their sweet personalities, beauty and their ability to get along with everyone. It is a privilege to be a part of this wonderful breed.
