About Us

Pawprint Garden Shih Tzu!

We live in Salem, OR in the Willamette Valley of
the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I have given birth to 11 healthy and happy children,
(some of whom are married now and have their own family).
My husband and I have been married for 36 years and
are still in love!

I am a stay at home mom. I have 5 of my youngest
children still at home ranging from 10 years
to 23 years, and 10 furbabies.

We have a small breeding program, one that we feel
we can handle and give the best of care to our little ones.

since been adopted out to be the "little princess"
in her own forever home), Jewel, Ewok,
Jasmine, and Lexie)

from her first litter.

Destiny and Victoria help out a lot with the care
and loving of all our 10 Shih Tzus.

 

I love to square dance and round dance.
Square dancing is just wholesome
fun, and round dancing is like ballroom dancing.
It includes the waltz and two-step, and is more
romantic. We round dance in between square-dance
tips. (a tip is two dance songs)
Square and round dancing is less expensive than
a cruise to the Caribbean, but just as fun!

Here, my "wonderful and loving husband" Gary, and I are
 dressed and ready to go to a square dance.

 The greatest and most important part of our life
is the church we belong to. There, we have devoted
our lives to the Lord, and He and His will is first
and foremost in our lives.
We also believe that the Lord is with our
Shih Tzu family and the precious puppies.

One of my favorite verses:

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures,  
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul, He leads me in the paths of
righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
