Meet the breeder

I'm Brooke E., the breeder behind Blue Ridge Shih Tzus located in Taylorsville, NC. Blue Ridge Shih-Tzus Rooted in Carolina, Raised with Love. We are a small, family-based Shih Tzu breeder located in the foothills of North Carolina. Our dogs are raised in our home—not in kennels—and they are loved, spoiled, and treated as family from day one. Our goal is to raise healthy, well-socialized Shih Tzus with sweet temperaments and beautiful coats. All of our puppies are handled daily, accustomed to household life, and started on foundational training before going to their forever homes. We focus on fit, function, and companionship: happy, confident, loving dogs.
