I'm Leko M., the breeder behind Grimmly Blue’s Shih Tzus located in Statesville, NC. We selectively breed for health & temperament. We offer healthy, loving pups to carefully chosen homes. We’re proud of our pups! Our mothers and fathers are our babies first and foremost. Their puppies are raised in our home and are being loved like our own while being prepared for their new homes.
Q. & A. with Leko
Why did you start breeding?
We have always loved the Shih Tzu breed. We were so smitten by our own pups, we knew we wanted to share them with others who would love them just as much. It is such a joy to set the foundation of our puppies' lives.
What makes your program special?
Every step of the breeding process is crucial to the well-being of the dog, and we do not cut corners. We go above and beyond for every dog, puppy, and litter as a whole in our breeding program.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, liver, and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
