— the online home of Deborah Vaiden and family, proudly located in Northern New Jersey.

I have had the privilege of being involved with the Shih Tzu breed since 1991, and actively breeding and exhibiting Shih Tzu since 1993. As a longtime member of the American Shih Tzu Club, I am deeply committed to the preservation, protection, and responsible advancement of this remarkable breed.

At Vaiden Shih Tzu, our highest priorities are health, soundness of body and mind, and exceptional temperament. These qualities are thoughtfully cultivated through the careful selection of superior bloodlines and a nurturing, formative environment designed to encourage confidence, stability, and the true Shih Tzu personality.

Each dog raised here is first and foremost a cherished member of our family. From early socialization onward, our goal is to develop Shih Tzu who are not only beautiful, but joyful companions—true reflections of the breed’s affectionate and spirited nature.

We hope you enjoy meeting our “kids” and sharing in our passion for this wonderful breed.

Warm regards,
Deborah Vaiden
