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 19 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 (2010-2025). This breed has literally won our hearts, and although I love other small 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 now a year old. He weighs 3.75 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!

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.
