Welcome to Reillys Reg'd Shih Tzus, Canada. Pull up a chair close to the fire and grab a dog to cuddle, for we love to remember the stories passed down from our parents and grandparents of the goodness, mercy and miracles of God. Reillys Reg'd is named in memory of my mother, gone 18 years now. A wonderful, strong, loving woman that never turned away a stranger or a stray, be it two-legged or four. She loved everyone, and was beloved by all who knew her. One day, while we were out doing errands, she spotted a tiny face peeking from a gentleman's pocket and was enthralled by the tiny sparkling eyes, a button nose and beautiful flowing hair of the enchanting creature. "What kind of a dog is that?", she inquired of the gentlemen. He laughed and pulled the little one from his pocket and placed it in her hands. "This," he whispered, "is a Yorkshire Terrier." From that day forward, she decided that one day, she would have one of the magical creatures for her very own. Unfortunately, that day never came for this wonderful woman, for she fell ill, and never came to realize her wish. This is where our story begins.....
In late 2012 we decided to retire from Yorkies, and continue on with our Shih Tzus (2010-2023). This breed has literally won our hearts, and although I love other breeds, in my opinion, the Shih Tzu is definitely heads, tails and paws above in temperament, and a most loving heart. I know Mom is watching in approval, for "Love avails much..." and the Shih Tzu is love personified.
UPDATE SEPT. 14/23: Today Dad went to be with Mom after a lengthy illness. They are re-united at last. While we are sad about our loss, we are also happy that there is no more suffering now. We love you Dad & Mom, both so missed.
Dad always claimed to not like animals, especially dogs, but we would all laugh. When he thought no one was looking, his hand would creep down the side of the lazy boy to give the dogs ears a quick rub. We never called him out on it. *smile*, we just accepted that contrary to his words, he was a "secret" animal lover!

Our latest piece of equipment, and it is so handy!
With the latest respiratory illness hitting dogs across North America, (and of course I always wanted one), I purchased this incubator, in case it was needed. It also frees up space when I am working with Mom through a whelping. They are warm and cosy, regulated for heat and light. I also purchased a Nebulizer attachment and Saline should I need to have a "mist" medication for the babes. Meet Princess Chanel & Lady TiffanyTiffany is the latest addition to the family. Chanel didn't know what to make of that crazy wee pup and ran away from her. That was a few short days ago. For those of you that ask me if a new pup will get along with their other dog.... My answer is yes. Some may take to the pup right away, others a bit longer. At the posting of this video they have been together 3 days! Tiffany is from the Patience/Murrlyn litter born May 10th, 2023 and what nice pups they made. Beautiful temperaments, sweet faces and loving babies.
Little Chanel was born Nov.11/2022. I was actually going to keep her until her current Mom spotted her and fell in love. Born a deep chocolate, and a miniature to boot, she was just a sweetheart. As time has gone by, she is developing much lighter colours and is changing. I suspect she is a prapso (yes they are purebred Shih Tzus - see article in the info blog) as I see signs of it. They are extremely intelligent and Chanel's mom will attest to that. Chanel figures out things quite quickly when she wants her own way. |
As a breeder, I firmly believe that we never stop learning. this is why I add videos, books, links and anything else I find interesting. I have questions in phone calls, messages and email every day, and we can all learn from each other! I don't receive any "point rewards or financial gain" from the sites I link to, or the videos and books I post. I just want you, as one of MY puppy owners, to have the best dog you can possibly raise! To give you years of love and happiness.
