Meet the breeder

I'm Stefanie H., the breeder behind Brinklee's Babies located in York, SC. Brinklee is a lavender-fawn, even-tempered, small (8lb), 3 year old shih-tzu who loves everyone she meets. She is laid back and loves to be with people and snuggle. She is AKC registered and healthy as can be!

Q. & A. with Stefanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    This is our first and only litter. We love Brinklee and think she is perfection in a dog, so we wanted to breed her one time. We plan to spay her before the end of the year. We found Brinklee on the Good Dog site and purchased her from a breeder in Virginia. Since it was a positive experience, we decided to try listing her puppies here too.

  • What makes your program special?

    We treat Brinklee like one of the family. She is spoiled rotten, as all pets should be. We are not a large breeding company, just a family who wants other families to have the same experience we have had.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are lilac. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Stefanie

Stefanie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Stefanie partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Puppies will be matched with the right families after they have weaned from mom, have their first rounds of shots, and have developed personalities and temperaments.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Includes AKC paperwork, deworming/shots, microchip, vet papers, puppy/people socialization, and a new puppy bag. Brinklee is 8lb and Poppy is 4lb so we expect the puppies to be small when full grown. Puppies are the same price no matter the gender, price, or coloring.”
