Welcome to Shining Star Shih Tzu.  We hope you enjoy your visit!  We are Mike & Therese Forman from beautiful Redding, California.  We love sharing the joy and triumphs that our dogs have given us with you.  Shining Star is a small intimate loving home that has a few show dogs and lifetime pets.  We intend to stay small and keep this an enjoyable hobby and passion.

It has become a favorite weekend activity to travel with our dogs to shows, and visit with friends along the way.

We breed only for the purpose of producing show dogs with wonderful temperaments, who are well socialized and have excellent health.  In doing that we from time to time have very nice babies to place in approved homes.  We have developed several Champions with some exciting wins! We enjoy every moment with our dogs. This is where “A Moment In Time” came from.  Every moment is truly blessed when a Shih Tzu is nearby.

Our goal is to honor this special breed by carefully planning each breeding.  Occasionally puppies from these litters are available as pets and companions.  We feel a great responsibility to every puppy, and take great care when placing the puppies in only the very best homes.  Understanding we are in control of these fragile lives and owe them the best chance we can to find them a happy and healthy life.

We love to share our Shih Tzu family with you and hope you enjoy every moment on our website and our photo album.  Our hope is that you become as ShihTzuized as us.
