ABOUT US
Welcome to Mighty-Paws! Founded in 2010 by Sandy Whyte, based in Los Angeles, CA
Mighty-Paws is a passionate team of dedicated pet lovers and caretakers Our journey began from a place of love and resilience, and it continues to shape the lives of families across the country. After losing my husband to cancer in 2003, I found myself navigating the world as a single mom to three incredible kids who have now grown up and are exploring their own paths. As the youngest prepared to head off to college in 2008, I felt a profound sense of loneliness and loss. It was during this challenging time that my sister encouraged me to welcome a puppy into my life—a suggestion that would change everything.
Growing up surrounded by dogs, I had always cherished the joy they brought. With a heart full of love and a desire for companionship, I adopted my first puppy, Luca. From the moment he arrived, my life was transformed. Luca filled my home with laughter and warmth, helping me heal from my loss and rediscover the joy of love. I was so inspired by my experience that I began sharing my story with friends and family, eager to help others find that same happiness.
By 2010, fueled by my passion and a desire to make a difference, I invested my life savings into a breeding and training program. My goal was simple: to provide individuals and families with healthy, well-trained puppies at an affordable price. I believe that everyone deserves the love and companionship that a pet can bring, especially those who may be facing challenges similar to mine.
At Mighty-Paws, our mission is to help loving families find their perfect Pekingese or Shih Tzu without breaking the bank. I remember paying $3,500 for my first puppy, which felt exorbitant, especially for single moms like me. That’s why we offer our puppies at a standard price of $1,500, and with our ongoing discounts, you can welcome a new furry friend into your home for just $950 (excluding shipping fees).
Since our inception, we have proudly helped countless families discover the joy of pet ownership, and we invite you to join our Mighty-Paws family. Explore our carefully curated selection of puppies and let us help you find your perfect companion!

SHIH TZU FAQs
Shih Tzus are known for their friendly and affectionate nature. They are typically good with children and other pets, making them excellent family companions. Their playful spirit and gentle demeanor make them a joy to have around.
How often should I groom my Shih Tzu?
Shih Tzus have long, flowing coats that require regular grooming. Ideally, they should be brushed several times a week to prevent matting, and professional grooming every 4-6 weeks is recommended to keep their coat in top condition.
How much exercise do Shih Tzus need?
Shih Tzus require moderate exercise. A couple of short walks each day, along with playtime indoors, is usually sufficient. They enjoy interactive play and mental stimulation, so activities like fetch or puzzle toys can be beneficial.
Are Shih Tzus hypoallergenic?
While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, Shih Tzus are known to produce less dander and may be suitable for individuals with mild allergies. Regular grooming and cleaning can help minimize allergens in your home.
How do I train my Shih Tzu?
Training a Shih Tzu can be a rewarding experience. Start with basic commands and positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise. Consistency and patience are key, as Shih Tzus can sometimes have a stubborn streak. Socialization is also important to help them develop into well-rounded pets.
What is the average lifespan of a Shih Tzu?
Shih Tzus typically have a lifespan of 10 to 16 years, depending on their overall health and care. Providing a nutritious diet, regular vet visits, and a loving environment can contribute to a long and happy life.
