Our Mission

At Lala’s All Star Shih Tzu, we’re more than just breeders—we’re devoted to raising happy, healthy companions with love, purpose, and integrity. We believe every puppy deserves the very best start in life, and every family deserves a lifetime of support.

What We Value

Health & Genetics
All of our parent dogs are health tested and AKC registered. We focus on small standard Shih Tzus (typically 9–12 lbs) with sound structure and strong genetic backgrounds.

Temperament
We prioritize loving, well-balanced temperaments. Each of our puppies is raised to be affectionate, confident, and ready for family life.

Early Socialization
Puppies are raised in our home—not a kennel—and are handled, loved, and socialized daily. They are exposed to a variety of people, sounds, textures, and experiences from an early age.

Lifetime Support
Our commitment doesn’t end at Gotcha Day. We’re here for you before, during, and long after your puppy comes home—with resources, guidance, and a wonderful community of All Star families.

Our Program

We’re a small, in-home program based in Yelm, Washington, where our dogs are cherished members of the family. All of our parent dogs live in our home and are raised with love, structure, and daily interaction.

Every litter is carefully planned with health, temperament, and structure in mind. While we may have several litters a year, each one is raised with intention, dedication, and the goal of giving every puppy the best possible start.
