The face behind the TZU!

I'm Kayla, the heart and soul behind Tootsies! Nestled in the picturesque Hudson Valley, NY, I'm not just a small, in-home Imperial Shih Tzu breeder; I'm a dream-weaver of fur-filled bliss. Married to my high school sweetheart and blessed with three beautiful kids, our journey with Shih Tzus began with convincing my husband into our first family puppy – and yes, even the skeptic fell head over paws.

We're a family that thrives on homey togetherness, surrounded by our delightful fur babies and kids, creating a symphony of joy in our backyard. Our Shih Tzus aren't just pets; they're the heartbeat of our home. With their flat baby doll faces, superior quality, and coby bodies, we've turned breeding into a lifestyle. Tootsies Tzus are our world, and we can't wait to show you just how extraordinary life with a Shih Tzu by your side can be!
