Greetings from the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. We are Rev.Dennis(disabled) and Glady Tornquist from Brevard.  Our home really does belong to our little lions, they just let us live there. Our first Tzu was an Obedience trained Therapy dog. It wasn't longed before we realized that properly raised all Shih Tzu are "Therapy Dogs".  So that became our passion, to offer the happiest, healthiest little dogs possible. We try to breed toward the standard in size to produce a hardy dog of substance.  Our babies may be 5lbs or 15 lbs but they are all vet approved checked and even given a report card. They are intelligent, happy funny bundles of goodness. Some of them are Show quality from Champion lines, but most would rather be in your lap than the show ring.  We have all colors from solid white to black to dark red.  Some have Black or Blue masks, Livers, Brindles maybe even a Grizzle once in a while. With your baby you will leave the "House" with 1. A smile 2. health guarantee 3. Vet report card 4. AKC registration  5. His/her blankey  6. All shots currently available UTD  7. Microchip if desired 8. Royal Canin gift packet 9. A hug if needed 10. An invitation for life should you (God Forbid) have to return your baby for any reason. We also do rescue, we will take any Tzu, ours or not, that needs a home built for Little Lions! ~ Glady
