Northstar Female Champions

Female champions

Our female champions are the heart of our program. They bring strength, balance, and the consistency needed to carry each generation forward.

Each female has proven herself in the show ring and through careful evaluation within our program. We select for correct structure, sound movement, and the confident, affectionate temperament that defines the Shih Tzu.

We study pedigrees, track genetics, and plan each pairing with intention, always focused on preserving type and improving the next generation.

These girls are not only beautiful representatives of the breed, they are the foundation of everything we build at Northstar.
