At Lake Somerville Shih Tzus, every puppy is raised underfoot in our family home — vet-checked, well-socialized, and health guaranteed. Proudly serving Brenham, Bryan, College Station, Navasota, and Greater Houston within 150 miles.
We're a small, family-owned program near Lake Somerville — not a kennel and never a puppy mill. Here's what sets our puppies apart.
Every litter is planned for temperament and health, with vet exams, vaccinations, and deworming before going home.
Puppies grow up inside our home surrounded by family sounds, gentle handling, and children — ready to bond from day one.
Each puppy leaves with complete health records and a written guarantee. Transparency and trust come standard.
We're here long after pickup day with guidance on grooming, feeding, and care — for the life of your Shih Tzu.
