MY NAME IS TINA MASSENGALE AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR ANIMALS. ESPECIALLY DOGS AND PUPPIES. I CANT REMEMBER A TIME IN MY LIFE IN WHICH I DIDNT OWN AT LEAST ONE DOG. IT HAD BEEN MY DREAM TO BE ABLE TO RAISE PURE BRED DOGS FOR MANY YEARS.

IN 1994 THIS DREAM BEGAN TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN. MY HUSBAND ROCKY GAVE ME THAT CHANCE. NOT LONG AFTER WE MARRIED AND BUILT OUR HOUSE ,HE AGREED TO BUILD ME A SMALL KENNEL SO THAT I COULD BE AT HOME WITH THE KIDS INSTEAD OF WORKING A REGULAR JOB. WE HAD 3 CHILDREN , OUR YOUNGEST ,CHEYENNE,ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AT THE TIME. WE DECIDED THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT SOLUTION AND WE ALREADY HAD THE PERFECT LOCATION. WE LIVE ON 37 VERY SECLUDED ACRES 15 MILES FROM CARTHAGE,TEXAS IN A SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY NAMED DEADWOOD,TX.

FIRST, I BOUGHT 5 POMERANIANS FROM A WONDERFUL BREEDER NAMED WINNIE JOHNSON,WHOM I HAD MET SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT BREEDING DOGS. SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN HELPING ME ESTABLISH MY BREEDING STOCK. A FEW YEARS LATER SHE RETIRED AND I WAS ABLE TO BUY SOME MORE OF HER POMS. I HAD NEVER OWNED A POM BEFORE BUT HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO. I SOON FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS BREED ,SLOWLY ADDING MORE TO MY STOCK,MANY HAVING CHAMPION BLOOD LINES OR CHAMPION SIRED.

SOON I BEGAN TO WANT THE EXCITMENT OF ADDING A DIFFERENT BREED TO MY KENNEL. THIS CHOICE WITHOUT A DOUBT WOULD BE SHIH TZUS. I HAD ADMIRED THEIR GRACE AND BEAUTY FOR A WHILE. SO I BEGAN SEARCHING FOR THESE PRECIOUS FACES. I DECIDED I WANTED TO FIND SMALLER ONES TO USE FOR BREEDING. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO FIND MY FIRST STUD "KISSING-KIN SAKI" HE IS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND WHITE PARTI WEIGHING ONLY 6.5 LBS. HE HAS THROWN SOME OF THE MOST GEORGEOUS,FLAT -FACE BEAUTIES THAT I HAVE SEEN. THESE LITTLE CREATURES ARE THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND LOVABLE DOGS. THEIR BEAUTY AND PERSONALITIES ARE AMAZING.

A FEW YEARS AGO I ALSO BECAME FASCINATED WITH YORKIES. THEY ARE SO GLAMOROUS AND TINY AND ARE MEANT TO BE SPOILED. THEY LOVE TO LOOK PRETTY. I ONLY HAVE A FEW AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I AM LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN TYPE. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO BUY MY FIRST TWO FEMALES ,SKYLER AND STORMI FROM VELVET TOUCH KENNELS IN ALEXANDRIA, LA. JANET HAS BEAUTIFUL YORKIES AND IS WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE BREED.

ALL OF MY DOGS ARE AKC REGISTERED . HOWEVER I AM CONSIDERING DUAL REGISTERING THEM WITH APRI AS WELL. THEY ARE KEPT IN A VERY CLEAN AND SAFE ENVIROMENT. THEY HAVE THEIR VERY OWN DOGGY HOTEL AS I LIKE TO REFER IT AS. THEY CAN GO IN AND OUT THEIR DOGGY DOORS AT THEIR FREE WILL. THE INSIDE IS HEATED AND COOLED AND HAS AUTOMATIC WATER AND FEEDERS,WITH DIVIDERS FOR PRIVACY FROM EACH OTHER. THIS BEING ESPECIALLY PERFECT FOR THE MOMS AND PUPPIES IF THEY CHOSE TO GO OUTSIDE THEY CAN VISIT ,PLAY, AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL FRESH AIR. THEY ARE FLEA AND TICK FREE AND ALL GET REGULAR BATHES AND GROOMING AND OF COURSE ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT THAT IS REQUIRED. OVER ALL THEY ARE VERY HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND SPOILED BABIES BECAUSE WE REALLY DO THINK OF THEM ALL AS GIFTS FROM GOD FOR US TO LOVE AND ENJOY . THIS IS HOW WE DECIDED ON THE NAME "LIFES LITTLE BLESSINGS' FOR OUR KENNEL.
