Meet the breeder

I'm Debbie R., the breeder behind Fancy Paws Shorkies & Shih Tzus located in Mays Landing, NJ. I offer top-quality Shih Tzu & Shorkie puppies for families who share the same love and passion that I do. I want to make the transition from my home to yours as easy as possible by giving personal attention to each little pup to ensure it is well-rounded and prepared to excel in its forever home.

Q. & A. with Debbie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started my journey into breeding after my brother fell in love with my own Shorkie and wanted one of his own. I loved the experience so much, it has become a passion and hobby of mine to help spread love and joy through breeding. I am not a backyard breeder. I take full responsibility of all puppies being born into my home.

  • What makes your program special?

    My pups are kept in a clean environment and well-taken care of. My new puppy owners are encouraged to visit their pups as much as possible! They are provided with videos and pictures throughout the growth of their puppy. My puppies leave with a clean bill of health and a large goodie basket. I am always available to my puppy owners for any kind of help they would need. All my puppy owners become my extended family.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    From start to finish, working with Debbie was an exceptional experience. She went above and beyond by arranging home delivery of our Shorkie- King, arriving with a beautifully prepared basket filled with essentials and toys that made the transition seamless. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of the breed were evident in every interaction. I felt confident knowing our new puppy had received all necessary vaccinations and care. Even after kings arrival to our home Debbie’s continued to extend support, her thoughtful check-in calls to see how he was growing and adjusting meant so much to our family. It’s clear she doesn’t just breed dogs; she genuinely loves and invests in them. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved puppy.

    From the very beginning, Debbie made everything feel easy, warm, and genuinely special. She wasn’t just knowledgeable—she truly cared. Every question we had (and we had plenty!) was answered with patience and kindness. You could tell right away that her dogs weren’t just part of a business—they were part of her heart. When we finally met our little Shih Tzu pup, Charlie, it all clicked. He was happy, healthy, and so well-loved already. The care and attention Debbie gave him in those early weeks made such a difference—you could see it in his sweet personality and gentle nature. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he had the best possible start before joining our family. And Debbie didn’t just send him home—she truly spoiled him (and us!) with the sweetest “coming home” gifts. From little essentials to thoughtful touches, it made bringing Charlie home feel even more special and showed just how much she cared about his transition into our family. Even the process leading up to bringing him home was seamless. Using the Good Dog app made everything incredibly simple and secure. From communication to payments and updates, it kept everything organized and gave us confidence every step of the way. Bringing Charlie home was more than just picking up a puppy—it was the start of something really special. And we’ll always be grateful to Debbie, who cared so deeply and helped make that moment as wonderful as it was.

    Debbie was wonderful to work with, and you can truly see how much she loves and cares for her dogs. The puppies are clearly raised with so much attention and affection she answered all our questions and will continue. Our little Shorkie, Cindel, is sweet, playful, and already so loving with our family such a cuddle bug. It’s obvious she came from a nurturing environment. We’re so grateful to Debbie for raising such a happy, well loved puppy and would absolutely recommend her.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, she kept me updated with pictures and videos, making me feel involved every step of the way. She was always just a phone call away, happy to answer questions and genuinely cared about both her dogs and the families they were going to. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, transparent, and passionate about what they do. I would absolutely get another dog from her without hesitation. The world truly needs more breeders—and people in general—like her.

    After we lost our shorkie in January, I knew I wanted another one. Through research and reviews I found Debbie. She was amazing and responsive. It is evident that she loves and cares for all of sweethearts equally. We adopted a male shorkie from her and he is absolutely perfect. Puppy pad trained and is so well behaved. Today was day 2 and we are so in love. If we decide to get another down the road I will be reaching back out to her. Everything was orchestrated perfectly, including connecting with her daughter Kira for our Henry to be flown from NJ to Chicago. We are so grateful 💙🐾

    Debbie was amazing to work with. She was communicative immediately, and got back to me right away. She was extremely transparent and helpful. I shared with Debbie that I lost my Mom recently, and she was empathetic and compassionate when we spoke on the phone. She allowed me to see my fur baby every week until I was able to take him home, and she was always extremely kind and welcoming. I am so thankful I found her through this app, and I would work with her over and over again, without question. ❤️
