Meet the breeder

I'm Derek T., the breeder behind Bayview Pups located in Stafford, VA. Healthy puppies start with healthy parents! That is why I genetically test all of my dogs prior to breeding them. All dogs and puppies are vet examined, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. Records are kept in a binder for the new owners to provide to their vet ensuring a smooth transfer.

Q. & A. with Derek

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding 15 years ago and it is a very rewarding experience watching the adults grow and nurture their pups.
  • What makes your program special?

    We had a wonderful experience with Derek and we love our new little Shih Tzu, Winnie (formerly Whitney.) She has a happy personality, likes to lick everything, and follows my feet everywhere. We look forward to many lovely years with this new addition to our family.

    Derek was very responsive and flexible. He answered all our questions about health and breeding before meeting our pup. Bailey went to the vet who said he was healthy 😊

    We had a wonderful experience getting Bandit from Derek. He was so responsive to our messages. We had worries as this is our first puppy and he happily answered questions. He met us about an hour away from his location and was right on time and communicated his ETA. Bandit was well-cared for and was already pottying on the pad, he even went on a pad on the floorboard of the rental car when we pulled over. Derek provided us with the things we needed to get started with Bandit and gave us a clear and up to date medical history. We had our first vet appt yesterday and Bandit is doing great….no issues! I highly recommend working with Derek…it is clear he really cares about his pups and wants them all to be happy.

    I had a great experience working with Derek! He was super responsive, helpful, and thorough during everything. I now have a beautiful pup Oliver/Ollie (formerly Henry) and couldn’t be happier!
