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!

Meet Skeezix. He is 8 months old. He weighs 2.15 lbs. He is the funniest.
Skeezix is not for sale. I'm just sharing my little buddy. I bonded so completely with him after he lost his Mom, he literally stole my heart. He sleeps on my chest at night and bounces around like a pouncing cat. He is my joy and laughter every single day!

💛 Caring for Widows & Orphans — Offering health aid, food, and resources to the most vulnerable.
Every puppy you welcome into your life helps make a lasting impact in someone else’s. Thank you for being a part of our mission to spread hope, healing, and love.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction…” – James 1:27 (KJV)

An Exciting Announcement!
For those in the Bruce Peninsula, Sauble Beach, Port Elgin areas. .. Diane's new website is up! Introducing DMJK Reg'd Shih Tzu! Click the link to take a peek.
Over the past few years I have had the privilege of mentoring up & coming breeders. People who I believe have what it takes to be a responsible breeder and have the heart and passion for it.
I am so honoured to introduce Diane McGregor, Saugeen Shores. It has been over a year since she begin studying and slowly purchasing, and growing out her little Shih Tzus. I feel she is my legacy and will be a huge asset to the Shih Tzu breeding world.
Diane and I met over 8 years ago, in her search for a retired dog as a companion for her father. They ended up taking "Teddy Bear", my foundation male. She fell in love with the breed....and whats not to love, Shih Tzu are exceptional dogs!
She adopted Maggie after talking to me about being her mentor, and began to study! And her story is now beginning.....Maggie is of age and will be bred soon. I look forward to this new part of the Reilly legacy, and the beginning of the DMJK Reg'd Shih Tzu saga. I will be posting updates/photos here to this wonderful lady/family and her beautiful dogs.

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.

WHAT A BOOK!
I can't speak highly enough of this wonderful book. I preordered it months ago, and got my copy on the June 4th release date!
The quality is top notch and it will be one of the highly used in my library!
I cannot recommend it highly enough to those who want their dog to live a long and healthy life.
Natural and healthy recipes, tips on food. Check the index out! My goodness, there is something pretty much on everything! Right down to creating your own natural pet-friendly cleaners, laundry soap and sprays!
Available from Amazon at a really reasonable price!

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.
I only have them for the first 8-12 weeks of their life, so when you get compliments on your beautiful dog, his appearance, his temperament and manners....pat YOURSELF on the back, for your little dog is a direct extension of the love and care that you put into him or her.
I recently purchased the kindle version of "The Forever Dog: Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer "
by Rodney Habib (Author), Karen Shaw Becker (Author). `What an incredible book of knowledge to help you improve your dogs life and help them live longer. Available on Amazon.ca, from Indigo and bookoutlet.ca.
