Hello, my name is Patricia and I am a small in home Shih Tzu Breeder, located in the Ballantyne Area, Charlotte, North Carolina.
I've personally owned small terrier dogs since 1985 and then I became an AKC Breeder in 1995, I had breed Champion Maltese.
I breed for quality, color, disposition and of course beauty. Show Dog Quality Of course, know that their champion quality is not cheap. I spend a tremendous amount of time and of course money, to provide the current vaccinations, wormings, veterinary visits/checks, as well as the best nutrition these puppies require.
If you adopt a puppy(s) from Imperial Shih Tzu's by Tricia, you are assured that your puppy has been given the utmost tender loving care ever, by me.
I offer a one year guarantee on all of my puppies, in which will cover any life threatening genetic defects. Which will insure the utmost quality that you're paying for. All of my dogs are AKC registered and come from awesome champion bloodlines.
Of course I would prefer to sell to pet homes, however, I would consider selling to other breeders, with reputable reputations. If you're from a puppy mill, please do not waste your time or mine, as I will refuse to sell you any of my puppies.
I reserve the right to cancel any sale, at any time, for any reason. Please know that this is for the health and well being of my dogs.
