I'm Debby B., the breeder behind Debilyn’s Shih Tzu’s located in Phillipsburg, NJ. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded Shih Tzu puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us. We’re a small-scale program with a big love of these dogs! Our dogs are our passion, and we enjoy spreading the love of a Shih Tzu with other individuals and families by responsibly breeding our incredible dogs. Anyone who is interested please fill out an application but only do it if you’re serious and ready for a lifetime commitment. PLEASE only fill out an application after reading and viewing my whole profile. I love working with people but applications and messages that are ignored are filed away after 24 hours.

Driving to airports is extra as well. Thanks for looking.

Here they are before they went outside today they knew they would be picked up. They love to eat. Chloe has been bringing them little pieces of her food. Cher loves to get the food before anyone else gets it.

The puppies definitely have cute little personalities. They love their food. They see the vet this week for their first vaccinations and worming and a fecal test. They love to make messes with their water dish. They want to be picked up whenever they see me.

The puppies are eating more and I have only one pee pad down so they know to use that. I work with them everyday. They love when they hear my voice they run to be picked up. We are working on socialization this week and getting used to different nosies. They will have a vet appointment next week too .

I want to open with the fact that I was so hesitant about buying a puppy online. You have to be so conscious of scams, but I communicated with Debby for a couple weeks before finalizing my decision to make a deposit. She is completely the real deal! She was always very responsive with me through the process. I am totally in love with my pup Sophie and am still in contact with Debby regularly. It is very clear she came from a loving home. She has easily adjusted to her crate and is such a sweet beautiful puppy. I hope that Debby will continue breeding as I cannot imagine every buying a puppy another way. Thank you Debby for this lovely Christmas present for our family!
