Welcome to Squaw Creek Family's site! We are glad you stopped in, let us start with an introduction. We are a Christian family of 9 living amongst the most beautiful farmland in Northwest Washington you will ever see. Nestled in the Fraser Valley at the feet of the Cascade Mountains, we are tucked up against the Canadian border in Lynden, Wa. We live on a 2 acre island of land surrounded by raspberries, cranberries, blueberries and green pasture. We enjoy homeschooling our children as we live simply...seeking to honor the Lord with our lives.

Our spacious kennels house our six Shih Tzus - Buttercup, Pansy, Shasta, Merrigold, Summer & Sampson. Then there is Lillie, our house dog. We have always loved this outgoing, hardy breed and enjoyed their loyal company for years. They are wonderful with children, most all other dogs and best of all, they are NOT yippers. We do not care for the yippy breakable sorts :) We exist to bring you a sturdy, healthy family dog living a life of longevity.

First, we want to provide you with a healthy, problem-free dog. Health is of utmost importance to us.

Secondly, we breed for personality, temperament and provide early quality socialization, and hands-on care which are major factors in how your dog grows and adapts to your family.

Our dogs are kept in our spacious, clean kennels. They each have an indoor room with food, fresh bedding(heated when the need arises) and a large outdoor run where they can sit and sprawl out in the sun. They are taken out for runs in our pasture when weather permits.

Being a native to the royal imperial palaces of China, these dogs do well with mild outdoor temperatures. However, they much prefer to be indoors at all times, pampered like royalty. That is, after all, what they REALLY are...

Our careful breeding and management produces healthy, well adjusted puppies. However, we offer a 7 day 100% money back written health warranty on each of our puppies to ensure their new owner knows how serious we are about standing behind our breeding.

Thomas. The phsyco attack cat.
Cats afraid of dogs? No.
Around here all the dogs are
afraid of this cat.
He stalks unsuspecting dogs.
From 7lbs to 80lbs they all fear The Cat.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
And don't...turn...your back.
(RIP Thomas 3/03-7/09)

Why purchasing a puppy from our family is a great choice...

Our Puppies...

Have a 7 DAY 100% puppy back/money back written guarantee if puppy is deemed unhealthy in ANY WAY by your vet. Buy with confidence, have peace of mind.

Have AKC registration papers(if applicable) to go home with puppy, no waiting and wondering if they will arrive.

Come with a portfolio containing a detailed health record for your vet, AKC paperwork(if applicable) & information to start your pup out right. This helps to make the transition from our home to yours an easy one.

Are fully weaned and sent home with a starter bag of puppy's food and a TOY you choose from our toy basket.

They are socialized with respectful children, adults, dogs big and small. We get wonderful compliments on our family friendly dogs. They run to you, not away from you. It is up to you to continue that wonderful start.

Will be given first shots at least 24 hours before pick-up. We will not immunize before 7 weeks of age, we recommend NOT immunizing at all until 12 weeks, but this is for you to research, decide and request.

Are Worm-free! Wormed on strict schedule using Pyrantel Pamoate starting at 2 weeks of age. Worms in puppies can lead to more problems than just weight loss. Diarreah, coughing, vomiting are common. Only healthy, round food filled bellies here!

ARE easily paper/puppy pad trained to keep those first messes where you'd like them.

Have had all dew claws removed. This prevents the dog from three things. 1. A forgotton ingrown dewclaw nail can grow in a tight circle and then penetrate the leg. 2. Having a now costly surgery later in life to have them removed. 3. Having the dog chew them off himself...yuck & infection.

Mamma and Papa are owned and kept here with us!(with the exception of our poodle stud)
