MARJA Shih Tzu has been dedicated for over 45 years to Shih Tzu Breed Preservation.
Since its inception, MARJA Shih Tzu has had over 100 A.K.C. recognized champions either bred or co-owned. MARJA Shih Tzu was started in 1976 with the introduction of our very first Shih Tzu: Hejato Tasha Lee "Tasha". Our show career was started by Mary Puglise (MAR) and Jacqueline Puglise-Stempel (JA). With Jackie's marriage to Mark Stempel, the original name could be kept as formed (MARJA).
We are longtime members of the American Shih Tzu Club (ASTC), the governing body for the pure-bred Shih Tzu in the United States. We are also members o the Brookhaven All-Breed Kennel Club as well as members o the New York Progressive Dog Club (for Toy Dogs Only).
