Karma is a classic Black and White Parti who I picked up and brought home already pregnant by a handsome stud (Blitz from Hillsides Shih Tzus in California), and that very first litter gave us two of our other amazing momma dogs: Echo and Willow. While her patches were a deep jet-black at birth, her coat has cleared into a beautiful, shimmering charcoal-silver as an adult. She is one of our “daintier” girls, weighing just under 8 lbs, and is so light on her feet that when she leaps into your lap, you barely even feel it!

Karma is the sweetest girl you could ever meet, with huge, dark eyes that you can just drown in. But don’t let her gentle nature fool you—she is also super silly and full of fun. Her absolute cutest quirk? She leaves the tiny tip (or more!) of her tongue sticking out almost all the time, and she passes this adorable habit down to a lot of her puppies! Genetically a Dominant Black and a true Parti, she is an essential producer for high-contrast patterns, but more importantly, she is an incredible mom and a beloved part of our family.
