Lil Cowboy Kennel

Lil Cowboy Kennel We pride ourselves on breeding beautiful, healthy shih tzu puppies. We also provide grooming servic My puppies are Limited AKC Registered.
(64)

They have Champion bloodlines in both parents and come with a one year money back guarantee in the contract. We baby sit free of charge for the life of the dogs for all vacations and emergencies. The only thing you provide is food for the visit. Even more important than the baby sitting, I am available for the puppies needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you run out of food and need to pick it

up at midnight, fine. If three years from now the dog is throwing up at 3 in the morning, call me at 3 in the morning. If I don't have an answer for you, I will call my vet right then and find out what to do. I am here for my owners for whatever my babies need no matter what time of day or night. When the puppies go home with their new families, they have had the following exams and tests to ensure that they are healthy:

They have had five Wellness exams. They have been wormed five times with three different wormers. They have had two f***l exams to guarantee no worms, parasites, or bacterial infections. They have had their first set of puppy shots. They have had blood work done and sent off to Auburn to guarantee they do not carry the recessive kidney failure gene found in poor bred Shih-Tzu. They have had their hearts tested. They have had their eyes examined. They have had both of their back hips x-rayed to guarantee the ball and sockets are properly in place. The puppies total cost is $850.00. I ask for $250.00 down and the remaining balance due the day the puppies go home at eight weeks old. Go to the testimonial page of my web site. Call some of my owners listed on that page and ask questions about how I do things. My family and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. We love animals, and absolutely adore the Shih-Tzu Breed. When this began, we had no intention of getting into the breeding business. However, everywhere we would take our babies, people would complement us on their behavior and ask us where they could get one. That got us to thinking... "Why should we not share the joy we have with anyone that wants one?"

Our puppies come from a loving home. Our dogs have championship pedigrees and wonderful temperaments. I think anyone would be proud to own the quality of puppy that we breed. I also think you will be impressed with the amount of love, joy, and loyalty you will get from one of our little furballs.

Please remember that I will be out of town the 28th, 29th and 30th.
If you need stuff to help your dogs with the fireworks and being terrified... please get it prior to that weekend. Because the crazy will start that weekend.

Or food, treats, or anything else you may need.

Thank You !!!

I need help with two things.

Does anyone know how to replace Sprinkler Heads? I will gladly pay you.

I've called two people and refuse to pay the ridiculous fee.

Also, I need someone to replace a breaker at our pool box?

Text me at 256-468-2619 if you would like to make some money.

06/14/2024

I have received a couple of upsetting calls lately... so I'm going to share these along with some other critical information.

I got a text from one of my owners yesterday. Not her Shih-Tzu from me, but their 14 year old Poodle / Shih-Tzu Mix fell into their pool and drowned. Folks, if you own a pool then you have to either stay out with your babies or put a fence around it like we did to prevent your babies from getting in it when you aren't looking. Shih-Tzu don't swim and will drown quickly.

Please.... care for them like you would a new born baby.

Two weeks ago, I got a call from an owner who's neighbor's Yorkie got bit by a rattlesnake. They rushed the dog to the vet who after 15 minutes informed them that they didn't carry anti-venom. So they loaded her back in the car and tried rushing to the emergency vet. She died in route (those wasted 15 minutes could have been critical).

Most vets don't carry anti-venom. Everyone should ask their vet in advance where to go in case of something like this. Don't be caught like a deer in the headlights when tragedy strikes. Know where to go in the heat of the moment.

Speaking of HEAT.....

Please understand that your little baby wants to please you so bad that they will put themselves at risk to try and do what they think you want them to do.

That pavement burns their feet and those walks are brutal in this heat. Your baby can easily have a heat stroke in Temps over 85°. Short, like block short, walks in these Temps. A Shih-Tzu or any other small / toy breed dog should be out for no longer than a few (5 minutes) in these conditions. Elderly dogs shouldn't be out that long. Enough time to do their business and back inside.

Please, love them and protect them as much as They Love You !!!

Next... turn on music or loud calming sounds during fireworks. Also use aids to help them get through those very stressful moments. They can develop PTSD from those sounds and even stroke or have a heart attack. Use any means necessary to keep them calm.

Last... I know that this is BBQ and Family Cookout Season. Watch the grill, the charcoal, the lighter fluid and The People Food. Make sure your family and guests knows anything they throw on the ground is going in your babies mouths and instruct them NOTHING GOES TO GROUND or is FED TO THEM.

Make sure you have a secure trash can available and that it is Ninja... I mean Shih-Tzu Proof.

They smell good stuff and are Lil Houdini's at getting into it.

Please.... Help Me..... Help You..... Protect Our Kiddos !!!

06/14/2024

It's about to be fireworks season.
Please, come pick up Quiet Moments or CBD Oil to reduce your dogs stress and fear.

Sasha & Khan have found their forever home. The first night went awesome for them. They slept in the bed with the new owners and went out first thing this morning and did their business and then came in and ate breakfast.

Thank You Lord for Blessing these two beautiful babies.

06/12/2024

I have a lady coming to meet Sasha & Khan today.
Prayers Up that this is a fit.

06/11/2024

Please share... these sweet babies deserve a wonderful and loving home.

Sasha and Khan are just so awesome, well behaved, trained and sweet as the day is long.

06/11/2024

A huge thank you to Kim Ruf and everyone else who has helped not only with Khan and Sasha, but also with Tulula. Not to mention Dr. Jay Waite and his staff at Cornerstone Animal Hospital for being so awesome and loving.... they are LCK's BACKBONE !!!

I couldn't have helped these babies without your kindness and generosity.

If anyone knows of someone looking for two potty and crate trained, 7 year old Shih-Tzu, with nothing but unconditional love to give (and boy are the sweet)...

Please tell them about Khan and Sasha.

They deserve a loving home where they can be the center of attention.

(As you can see... I have them out front with no leashes or collars. They are well trained and well behaved)

What one month of Alabama Clay does to the boys area and my grooming area.

One more wall and then the floor....

And boy do I need a shower !!!

06/09/2024

Been out here cleaning, sweeping, scraping, mopping and washing the boys are and the grooming are since 1:30.

The back is barking and the body is achy... but the Whoopie Dogs have cleab clean clean areas.

I've got about another hour to go.

Next weekend is the girls area.

The DEEP CLEAN is usually about once a month... and boy does it take a lot out of my old bones.

What doesn't kill us.... makes us stronger.

06/09/2024

Please pray for the gentleman living in his car, that we have his Shih-Tzu.

If Priority Veteran's comes through... he could be in quarters by the ends of the month.

What a Blessing that would be.

Please throw those prayers up.

Sasha & Khan have gotten all their testing, shots, and have been officially Dr. J cleared for duty.

Now.... who needs two sweet, loving, completely trained lap dogs who just love cuddles???

Everyone.... please meet the real Sasha & Khan.

Christi will attest, they are sweet, loving, healthy babies with so much trust.

They are going to make excellent kiddos for someone.

My phone is blowing up this morning from dogs with upset tummies from Birmingham, AL. to Fayetteville, TN.
Apparently that rain brought some crud with it.
If you need me, text me with the symptoms and full description of the stool and I will gladly help.

We will get through this ick.

Probiotics is a great way to keep your dogs immune system strong and better equipped to fight off stuff like this.

My sweet daughter Ravon has picked up Sasha and Kahn (7 years old Shih-Tzu's that need a home together) and is on the way to Dr. Waite's office to get shots, f***l and tested.

Then I'll groom them either tonight or Sunday Morning (trying not to groom Sunday because I need a break).

I have to line up a great home.

Pics coming soon !!!

Thank you to all who help me make Magic like this happen for rescues and animals in need. I feel so truly blessed the Lord uses me and my business to make their days and lives brighter.

06/07/2024

If you know me, you know that I believe in the Power of Prayer.

Currently, a part of my FAMILIA is undergoing triple bypass surgery.

I am asking everyone to throw a prayer up for my Brother Dwayne, his family and his medical team.

I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER and need all of you to help me move a mountain and ask for his complete healing.

I have two (boy and a girl) seven year old Shih-Tzu's that I'm rescuing as a pair.
They are in DESPERATE need of grooming and vetting.

I've just spent a fortune on the homeless dog and giving to a local shelter, but I can't not help these two poor babies.... they are in such a bad way.

The elderly owner has not been doing well, and has unfortunately neglected these babies while not being able to care for herself.

Her family has just reached out to me to see if I will help home them.

I can't do that as is.... so I will have to figure out a time that I can groom them and get them to see Dr. Waite.

Please pray for these poor babies and their owner who isn't doing well herself.

I'm going to need a great home for them as a pair, I will not separate them. If you are interested, text or call me at 256-468-2619. I will not respond on this post or on messenger... so please read and don't waste your time by contacting me that way.

Until I figure everything out financially... I can't say if their will be a homing fee. I'm just not sure how I am going to do what needs to be done... yet.

But... I know that God has called on me to answer the bell once more... and a way will be provided.

A pic of him is provided below. I can't really get a good image of her, because it just looks like a blob in the pics.

I'll get some better pics once I find the time and a way to work my magic and make them gorgeous.

I Believe in the Power of Prayer.

Asking for all we can get on this one.

06/03/2024

For the month of June, if you come and buy any type of treats, chews, dental products, frozen yogurt, toys, beds, dog carrier, or crate... Lil Cowboy Kennel will match that purchase by donating the exact item that you buy to a local shelter.

The shelters are asking for help... and we will step up to the plate.

06/03/2024

Local shelters and pounds are OVERWHELMED currently because of this inflation crisis.
People are giving up their pets at an all time alarming rate because they can not afford to care for them.

Shelters are begging for blankets, towels, paper towels, bleach, cleaning products, toys, treats, and food.

It doesn't even have to be new. They will gladly take these things that have been used (maybe not the bleach or cleaning supplies).

They will also take dog meds that you aren't using. If you have recently lost a pet and no longer need their meds... don't throw them away... donate them.

If you can't take them to a shelter, then bring them here and Christi will gladly get them to a local shelter or pound.

They even take Sam's and Walmart Gift Cards.

If you can help with ANYTHING... please do. Even the used blankets and towels.

These babies didn't ask to be dumped in these places.... and they need their communities support.

I'm a breeder.... and I implore everyone to RESCUE when they can.

06/03/2024

Piece of advice.

Keep your Shih-Tzu (floppy eared dogs) ears cut short and tapered down during the hotter months. This will help keep moisture out of the ears which leads to yeast infections.

06/03/2024

I love my job.

But....

When I got into this, it was because I wanted every home to experience the love of a Shih-Tzu. Then, I took on the boarding part of it because I didn't want my babies left in horrible boarding conditions and facilities that didn't treat them like family.

I feel blessed having the many relationships that I do, and the fact I get to see all of my Whoopie Dogs and know that they are loved and cared for.

One thing that I had to offer for my piece of mind, to be able to do this job, was being available 24/7 for all emergencies and health related situations. In the 24 years of doing this, I have helped thousands of owners and their babies, even saving a few lives along the way. This to me is God using me for a higher purpose.... and I LOVE IT !!!

I explain to each owner that I am available for emergencies and health issues, but to please save the other stuff for regular hours.

I don't sleep well because of the injuries and surgeries to my neck and back as it is. Plus, I go to bed really late due to having to take care of dogs and let them out before bed time. You can never begin to imagine the work that goes into this, especially with the owners dogs that I'm baby sitting that needs meds, special treatment, and so much more.

I try so very hard to give each of my owners and their babies the love and service that I would want my mother to receive if she was one of my babies.

So why.... Why???? For the love of God, Why do I keep getting meaningless texts in the middle of the night.

In the last nine days I have been awaken to texts at 4:18, 1:12, and now 5:36 that were not emergencies. All three times were about vacation planning.

I love all of you, and my babies.... please don't make me regret the baby sitting.

Because of my pain and lack of sleep, when I get that text and wake up and get my phone... then it is hard for me to go back to sleep. Then I'm exhausted trying to do my job the next day. It also puts me in this mood, where I am a BEAR.

I am trying to provide an above and beyond service for you. The being available 24/7 for emergencies and health problems isn't something any other breeder does. I do it out of pure love.

The lifetime free baby sitting (my owners just pays for the food for the visit which is $10) isn't something I ever had to do... it is done out of love and caring.

Please, have some respect and use those services with the same love and respect I am trying to give.

I'm available for EMERGENCIES AND ALL HEALTH RELATED ISSUES AND CONCERNS 24/7.... and feel blessed when the calls come because God is using me to help a baby. Heck... a lot of times the babies aren't even one of mine... and I still am eager to help.

But, I am available from 8 AM until 10 PM for any other things like your vacation planning.

It isn't an emergency to me. Please don't wake me up unless you have an emergency and need to leave town right that moment.

I'm trying to work with you guys.

I never have thought about retiring.... but this HAS TO STOP.

I need my rest. I have to take care of your babies and mine and that is a LOT OF WORK !!!

Back by popular demand...

Boss Dog Frozen Probiotic Yogurt. Comes in four flavors.

Come pick up a box or three and give your baby a healthy treat that they deserve.

My wife just got an email from me with attachments.
She was smart enough not to open them.
I do not send out emails, so don't open one from me or my email address.

05/29/2024

Folks, the Fireworks have already started for some reason this year.
Heck, even Publix is selling them.

Please, swing by and get anxiety relief for your baby.

For normal stress (fireworks, storms, grooming, car stress, etc....) grab a bottle of Quiet Moments.

For dogs with SEVERE ANXIETY with these things, pick up a bottle of CBD Oil for dogs.

I keep both in stock.

I've already had two people come in the middle of the night this week to get some.

Don't let your baby get stressed out !!!

All products are not the same. Don't buy inferior products.

05/25/2024

Sending prayers and love for safe travels for Dr. Jay and Mrs. Waite.

Enjoy your vacation.
May it be relaxing and filled with inner peace and lots of wonderful adventure.

I have kind of Fostered a Shih-Tzu for a bit.

She has an owner who currently can't care for this sweet girl, but will be taking her back in the near/distant future.

With that said.....

I am taking her to get her caught up on shots, flea and heartworm prevention and anything else she possibly needs.

She didn't come from Lil Cowboy Kennel, but she is now our newest member.... because we want to help all dogs and their owners here.

Anyway... If you would like to help sponsor her... come and gets treats, dental chews, or training treats for the rest of the month... and that money will go directly towards her vet bills, food, care, and ANYTHING ELSE that Dr. Waite and I determine she needs to help her live her best life.

Anything extra.... and we will put together a care package for her, so when she goes home... she is stocked up.

Because every baby deserves to live their best life... and we want to help make that happen !!!
