Meet the breeder

I'm Aryanna R., the breeder behind North State Shih tzus located in Chico, CA. Introducing Our Adorable Shih Tzu Puppies! We are proud to offer our beautiful Shih Tzu puppies to loving homes! Our dogs are not only healthy but also possess wonderful temperaments that make them perfect companions. When we welcomed our first Shih Tzu into our family, we were instantly in love.

    Working with Aryanna was wonderful. She answered all our questions, even the stupid ones, open and honestly. She still answers any questions that came up once Gabby( Raven) was home. Aryanna helped guide us through the process with Good Dog. When we picked up Gabby it was very apparent the Aryanna took great pride in her puppies and the care she gives them. We have refer friends and family to North State Shih Tzu and Good Dog.

    I had a great experience with Aryanna. Working with her was easy. Clear communication, easy pick up. They sent us home with a little goodie bag which was very thoughtful. We took our puppy to the vet this last week and he had a great check up and the vet was pleased with his health. Our little guy is so sweet and has a great temperament , he is bright and picking up on house training very quickly. I would recommend Aryanna to my friends and I already have!

    I found my precious shih tzu named Ardi on the Gooddogs.com website and thus communicated with Aryanna. It was a quick transaction but she was very responsive. We drove 2 hrs to Chico to pick up Ardi. It's been 5 days and my little girl sleeps well in her crate next to my bed. She adjusted to potty pads right away. Eating her kibble in small amounts. Barks when she gets super excited playing with my husband. Then immediately goes to pee on her pads. I'd say it's a great success and her 11 week check up is in a couple of days. I couldn't be happier and thanks to people like Aryanna, she gave me the opportunity to have another shih tzu to love and I thank people like her who can make this happen.

    This was the first time getting a puppy without seeing in person. DeeDee was understanding, and responded promptly to my questions to alleviate any fears I had. She also sent videos and pictures. We ended up with the best puppy, Ember, for us. We picked her up 2 weeks ago at 8 weeks old, with a personalized gift package, very nicely done. The 4 1/2 drive home was good. Promise (Ember) is now 10 weeks and is a joy, a great addition to our family.

    Aryanna was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She took the time to answer all of our questions, and we truly could not be happier with the experience. We are so glad we discovered North State Shih Tzus and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the highest quality dogs and personalized service.

    We had such an amazing experience with Aryanna and North State Shih Tzus! Our Lola baby is the absolute best. She has such a great temperament and has been super healthy. She is great with our two young boys also. We highly recommend North State Shih Tzus and I am currently trying to convince my husband to get one more so Lola can have a sister ❤️❤️❤️. Good Dog made the process seamless and it was so easy to connect with Aryanna.
