Meet the breeder

I'm Andrea N., the breeder behind Curls & Paws Canines located in Mifflintown, PA. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth. Our puppies will complete your home, your family, and your heart! Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives. We want to do our part to produce wonderful, healthy dogs that can bring other people joy as well, and we strive to provide each of our puppies with loving homes where they can live happy lives.

Q. & A. with Andrea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Looking at the downside of unfortunately so many breeders and their practices, I wanted to step in and help raise the bar, for the love of my dogs and all. And I love dogs, so the more I have living life with me, the better!😁

  • What makes your program special?

    Each puppy is anticipated and anxiously awaited from the very beginning. Our dogs and puppies are loved genuinely by us and receive lots of love and hours and hours of our time. Before each puppy goes to your home, they are being worked with for crate training and house training, and almost 100percent pee pad and litter box trained(SO MUCH less stressful to bring home a puppy when pee pad and litter box trained!). They also each get a blanket, stuffed toy to sleep with, a collar, a small bag of dog food as well as recommendations for training, food, etc. and are up to date on vaccines and vet checked. We strive to help give every puppy the best and most comfortable beginning in their new home!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Shihpoo puppies are mini size. Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include petite and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Shihpoo puppies include red and white, red, brindle and white, black and white, and black. Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include white, red, and cream. Shih Tzu puppies include black, brindle and white, white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Verified owner · Jan. 2026

    We are so grateful to Andrea and her family for everything! I took my time finding a breeder who we trusted and felt was top notch. Andrea was that and more. She truly cares for these dogs as her own. It’s clear she spends a lot of time with the puppies as Freddie arrived well socialized, pee pad trained and fun loving. Andrea responded so quickly to questions and photo requests etc. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a dog. We couldn’t be happier with her, and with Freddie home with us in Brooklyn.

    Andrea was there every step of the way and responded promptly to all of my emails and concerns. Our puppy is happy and healthy and already gained 1.5 pounds since coming home to us. I am so lucky to have found her as a breeder!

    Andrea was very proactive, transparent, and communicative throughout the whole process. She made everything simple and was very thoughtful in making sure my puppy had a smooth transition to her new home. I could not recommend her enough!

    Verified owner · Jan. 2026

    Andrea was very responsive to my communications about Fern and she met us in NJ for delivering Fern. We have had her for one week and Andrea has reached out several times to make sure Fern is settling in and doing well with her training. Fern is the sweetest, funniest little girl. She is very playful and lovable. We couldn’t be happier she brings smiles to our faces every day.

    Andrea was very communicative, answered quickly to my messages and when I picked up my new precious baby she gave me all the information clearly and detailed. I was very appreciative and felt at ease through the process.

    Andrea was kind, knowledgeable, and caring throughout our entire process. She was so responsive to any questions I had and answered quickly. We feel so blessed to have found her! We fell in love with Emmy right away and soon before pick up for her we started to feel a strong pull to get her brother "Eric" as well. We got to pick up day and ended up taking both of them🩷🩵
