The history of Jem-Gem Shih Tzus started in 1965 when my parents brought home 
a Shih Tzu puppy. Since then there has been no other alternatives.
On these pages I am proud to present all of those Shih Tzus I have ever owned or
 bred. To me and my family owning a dog is a life long commitment. We do not sell
 youngsters or adults neither re-home any of our dear veterans.


Honkapirtin Jerry
(1965-1974)
bred by Miss I. Honkanen

 A loving and gentle member of our family.



Honkapirtin Mandarine
(1974-1987)
 bred by Miss I. Honkanen

 Just like Jerry he was a Shih Tzu with most
gentle and soft temperament.



FIN, S, N CH Furugläntans Golden Biley
(1976-1991)
bred by Mrs G. Fennhagen, Sweden

A boy with exceptional self-confidence,
with Billy I got interested in showing as he
loved every minute in the ring.
I was lucky to have Billy's daughter
and the story of Jem-Gem began...
