Current Litter Update
All puppies from our January 30, 2026 litter have been reserved.
Stevie and Leo are the proud parents of four beautiful puppies – two boys and two girls- who arrived at Rhythm and Tzus on January 30, 2026.
In true Rhythm and Tzus style, each puppy was given a music-inspired name, simply for identification purposes while they are with us. Some families already have the perfect name picked out when they reserve their puppy, while others wait until their new little bundle of joy comes home. Either way, we enjoy a little harmony while they’re here.
At eight weeks old, the puppies are thriving and full of personality. They’ve been fully weaned and are confidently eating on their own. Their days are filled with playful energy, curiosity, and continued learning as they interact with their littermates and our adult dogs. This stage is all about building confidence, reinforcing early social skills, and preparing for the transition to their new homes.
They’re handled frequently throughout the day and are comfortable being held and gently cared for — having their eyes cleaned, their nails trimmed, and becoming familiar with the everyday routines that come with life as a well-loved companion. It’s a joyful stage, full of curiosity, growing confidence, and plenty of playful puppy energy.
We anticipate our next litter to be available mid-July 2026. If you’re interested in a future puppy, we’d love to connect with you through our Contact page.
