I am blessed beyond measure to have the extraordinarily joyful experience of adopting my precious Libby & Loki. They are both in perfect health, happy, spunky and literally the most snuggly animals I have ever known. I am more than happy to give Shurbeez an A+ ….10 out of 10….best experience ever rating! Words cannot express what these little pups have done for me. I have literally bathed in their unconditional love and support. My heart has been rescued as I sit here working with two loving faces and fluffy fur sitting by my side. Thank you for these perfect little spirits that are healing my soul!

Sheri and her wonderful family at Shurbeez blessed us with not one but two beautiful, well rounded, healthy Shih Tzu’s. I couldn’t have been more happy about the entire process - even two years later! There is an entire list of wonderful things I could say, but you should see for yourself if you’re looking for a shih tzu, and apply for a Shurbeez.

I had the privilege of adopting Chester. He is one of Sheri’s retired males. He is wonderful, healthy and well-trained. He is a testament to her commitment to the breed. Sheri is a fantastic breeder and trainer and it shows in the quality of her dogs and puppies! 🙂❤️

I have a 1.5 year old liver colored male from Shurbeez and he’s been such a lovely companion. Sheri is so skilled with the breeding process and it shows in my even-keel, sweet-natured pup who’s had a great personality from the start! Can’t recommend her enough, her services have been a game-changer for this first-time pet owner and she’s made herself available for advice and support along the way. Can’t go wrong with Shurbeez! 🐶

Sheri is amazing.
I stumbled upon her site when we were finally ready to have our own fur baby!
From the very beginning she has always been informative, helpful and communicative. We immediately felt both comfortable and confident that she takes breeding and raising puppies seriously and with care.
Crunchy has been the most amazing addition to our family. He's the sweetest, most loving, spunky little guy who charms everyone he meets. A showstopper out and about!!
Thank you Sheri for giving us our biggest blessing and taking such care of him.

Sheri is the Best!
I highly recommend Shurbeez to anyone. Communication was very easy and always responsive, she was always happy to answer any questions or concerns. She provided lots of updates with pictures and videos throughout the process. Jack arrived conditioned to being around children, groomed, and had no anxiety being crated. She prepares the puppies for going to their new homes very well.
We could not be happier, the entire process was a dream! Jack is perfect. He is the baby of the family and gets all the love. He has the sweetest personality and we couldn't ask for more! Thank you Sheri!!

I was going through a difficult time after losing my two fur babies. I longed to have another Shih Tzu, after falling in love with the breed and fortunate enough to have found Sheri. Sheri spent a great deal of time answering all of my questions and concerns, and was always prompt in her replies.
After choosing my puppy she included videos and pictures along with educational information which was greatly appreciated. I was blessed to bring home my black and white Chloe who is now 1 1/2 years old. To this day I can reach out to Sheri and she is always willing to answer any questions that may arise. It's clear she cares very much about her animals. I highly recommend Shurbeez Shih Tzu if you are looking to add a healthy, happy fur baby to your home. You won't be disappointed.

I found Wilson through Sheri Stevens. Here he is with me in Seabrook, WA, where he discovered chickens for the first time!!!
I couldn't have asked for a better pet than Wilson. He goes just about everywhere with me. Yesterday, we met a friend at Barnes and Noble. He charmed everyone in the store!
I can't thank Sheri enough for helping me find Wilson! She is a wonderful, careful breeder. AND another set of puppies he helped "create" is on the way! I'm sure they will be as beautiful as his first one!!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Sheri, my experience, my puppy and I would definitely recommend her (in fact, I mention her name when anyone sees my sweet puppy) to anyone who asks.
Sheri was easy and patient to work with as I moved from Southwestern Idaho to the Northwestern part of the state. I asked for and received a full list, with links, of all supplies needed and that my puppy was used to, so that I could be prepared. She has been available to answer any and all questions from this first-time puppy "mom", and I really have/do appreciate that support.
As my cute puppy fell asleep in my arms this morning, I thought to myself, "this precious face is worth every penny!" Priceless moments to look forward to for sure! Thank you, Sheri, for getting my puppy started on the right paw, and being there to guide us both along this journey.

Sheri at Shurbeez has been a joy to work with and I’m so lucky to have her here locally. Royce (my pup) has been a dream and though all puppies are still puppies and get into mischief I have a feeling that his disposition is due largely in part to his time with his breeder. Sheri has made herself available as an ongoing resource and I’m so happy to have this new addition in my life with the continued support of a knowledgeable and personable individual. Thanks, Shurbeez!

My experience was wonderful, Sheri kept me updated on my baby girl and she personally flew with my fur baby. I couldn’t be happier with Dulce 💜

Sheri Stevens was excellent to work with. She provided a lot of educational material, email and videos, to us prior to bringing our fur baby home. It was nice to be able to get photo updates of our pup as well. The puppy we purchased is very healthy, happy and well adjusted. Sheri teaches the pups many basics that are a great foundation for new owners to build on including crate training, potty training and sitting. She continues to be a great resource as questions arise after puppy came home. I highly recommend Sheri!

We couldn't be happier with our darling puppy from Shurbeez Shih Tzu! Sheri is so knowledgeable and does so much for the puppies. They are given the best start possible and Sheri goes above and beyond in caring for and training the puppies. Her communication and helping prepare you for your new puppy, Sheri was amazing and so helpful. Harley is the best thing I've ever bought for myself!
Lisa K., Whidbey Island, WA

Sheri is a reputable breeder that cares and loves the parents and the puppies. Not only does she do an amazing job raising the pups, but she keeps the soon-to-be owners up on pretty much anything knowing that your pup is being trained and taken care of. Thank you so much, Sheri. Bishop is an absolute joy!
Arianne B., Wenatchee, WA

I feel so blessed, grateful and thankful to have found Shurbeez Shih Tzu. Sheri Stevens is an excellent breeder and person. She really cares for the puppies and wants only the best for the puppies and the parents. She constantly keeps you informed of everything that is happening and posts pictures/videos on a regular basis so you feel a part of the puppy's growth and progress. She is always available to answer questions. Her Puppy Culture training and the love and attention makes her puppies the most enjoyable, sweetest little thing ever. I highly recommend Shurbeez Shih Tzu.

My first contact with Shurbeez Shih Tzu was January 26, 2018. I reached out and showed interest in a "black with a touch of white here and there" Shih Tzu! Every exchange we had thereafter was very informative as I pondered my decision to bring this lil guy to my home!! Sheri was patient for days as I asked every conceivable question I could to familiarize myself with this breed. We brought home my sweet lil' Phalcon in late February 2018! Phalcon is a big part of my life and I am happy that Shurbeez Shih Tzu taught me how to take care of my baby! They still stick by me today and are always 1 phone call away if I ever need anything!

These pups are the sweetest dogs I have ever owned. They are highly intelligent, well tempered and just love everyone. I own 2 pups from 2 different litters and they are very healthy and loyal dogs. I can't say enough good things. Someday I may even get a 3rd from Sheri. Speaking of Sheri, she has always been very helpful with providing advice and tips if you ever have any questions or concerns while raising your pup. 10 out of 5 stars from me :) I also want to mention the living conditions of the pups is top notch! Sheri is a wonderful lady and she really cares about the dog's well being. Now I am really thinking about getting a 3rd pup hahaha. I have to stop myself... for now :P
(update - Tom & his wife have added Eevee to their fur family in 2024!)

This is Sophie, she is my puppy from one of Sheri's past litters. Her puppies have such beautiful personalities and are so playful. I'm looking forward to seeing the new litters and getting my second puppy from Shurbeez Shih Tzu in 2021! If anyone is looking for an addition to their family then you won't be disappointed if you choose a puppy from Sheri.
update - Katheryne added Tootsie to her fur family in 2021.

We got Bandit from Shurbeez in September of 2018. He is the sweetest and smartest dog I have ever had! Sheri is an excellent breeder and the best first 'mom' for her puppies! Bandit was very well cared for and socialized. He is wonderful with my little grandchildren! Sheri is always available for any questions and provides expert advice. I highly recommend Shurbeez.
Jen E., Walla Walla, WA

My husband and I have received 2 Shih Tzu from Sheri Stevens. Both are from different litters. Sheri is a wonderful breeder. She is great to work with. We highly recommend getting a Shih Tzu puppy from her. They are a wonderful addition to our family. Our dogs have also been healthy, with great temperaments. We highly recommend this breeder.

Here's what fellow breeders have to say about Sheri

I have worked with Sheri for years, in fact, I got into breeding because of her. I had owned dogs before and seen the physical and emotional value they gave to my family and as I thought more about breeding, I reached out to Sheri because of her expertise. She guided me to find the type of quality dog I could build my program with. She patiently helped me while I studied and learned more about genetics. She has helped me through some health concerns with my puppies. She has also been able to advise me on contracts and organizational paperwork.
As we both grow in our relationship, she has become more of a partner and as we learn, study, and develop new training practices we are both becoming the breeders we always wanted to be.

I started my breeding business in 2019. I have owned Shih Tzu for about 30 years. When I met Sheri she was more than happy to share her wealth of knowledge and experience with me. She started mentoring me about a year ago. She is always willing to answer my questions. She's a wonderful person and she has years of experience and dedication to the betterment of this breed. She is honest and isn't afraid to tell me when something is not a good idea for my breeding business. She always provides me with research and data to show why.
Sheri also took the time to introduce me to other trustworthy breeders that live close to me.
Her knowledge of canine DNA genetics is beyond any I have seen. I still consult with her every time I need advice, or if one of my friends asks for advice and I don't know the answer.
Sheri is just a great breeder and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to breeding. And she's one who is happy to share her knowledge.

As a breeder of quality puppies myself, I appriciate being able to work with a breeder like Sheri. I've sent 2 of my girls to Sheri for stud service using her beautiful stud, Chester. Not only was Sheri professional, competent, and trustworthy, the outcome was exceptional puppies from both litters! For the duration that Sheri had my girls, she kept me informed daily with photos, videos, and feedback as to how things were going. It is difficult for us to send our precious girls away from us for any length of time but we knew Sheri, we knew they were safe and well cared for. Her children even give them extra affection and attention, Polly even slept in bed with her son. We would highly recommend Sheri and her studs to anyone looking to improve their breeding program, as well as new breeders. Sheri is a great mentor as well.

Sheri came highly recommended to me as a wealth of information. Over the past years she has been invaluable to me as a mentor. Not only does she breed beautiful Shih Tzu, but she raises the bar for other breeders. Always sharing her knowledge/experience and love for the breed and by doing so she's bettering the breeders she surrounds herself with. I'm honored to be one of them.

Sheri Stroud Stevens is a very good, reputable breeder. She goes above and beyond to help her fellow breeders and newcomers to the breed. She has been a great example of what a wonderful breeder should be to her customers - putting health and quality first. I highly recommend Shurbeez Shih Tzu.

I can't say enough good things about Sheri. I was a new (never, ever before) breeder & I asked a desperate question on a random Facebook page. Sheri immediately answered & took me under her wing right then. She has spent countless hours with me through messaging & actually talking on the phone, giving me help & valuable advice. She's such a knowledgeable breeder. I can't imagine this journey without her help.
