Dominique Vassar

Hi, I’m Dominique, the heart behind Nique’s Shih Tzus. I’m a dedicated, family-oriented breeder based in Texas with a deep love for animals—especially Shih Tzus and their affectionate, loyal personalities. My background is rooted in hands-on care, patience, and creating a warm, safe environment, which naturally led me into breeding. I take pride in being very involved every step of the way—from pregnancy to delivery to watching each puppy grow and develop their own little personality. Being able to connect families with a loving companion is something that truly means a lot to me. Outside of breeding, I’m someone who values family, consistency, and doing things with intention. That same mindset carries into how I raise my dogs—with care, structure, and lots of love.
