Meet the breeder

I'm Dani G., the breeder behind Guillot Shih Tzu located in Picayune, MS. We’re passionate about raising the best family companions possible.

Q. & A. with Dani

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I love my mixed breed rescue dogs but my favorite breed has always been the Shih Tzu. My past shih tzus have also been rescues but I then decided to purchase an AKC registered male shih tzu and he set me on a path to breeding them.

  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to produce puppies that meet AKC standards and have great temperaments. My breeding dogs are DNA tested to prevent heritable diseases. Puppies receive a vet exam, 1st vaccinations, and a microchip before going home at 8 weeks. AKC and lifetime microchip fees are prepaid and registered for you. I can update microchip info for you anytime. I’m just a call or message away to help if needed.

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

    Our puppies include chocolate and tan, chocolate, black and tan, black, liver, gold, red, red and white, gold and white, brindle and white, black and white, liver and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Dani is terrific. It is obvious that she really loves the puppies. She was great before we picked up our little Leo as well as guidance since we took him home. Although we have had dogs in our family before Leo is our first puppy. Dani has been so helpful. Leo is such a pleasure. He is loving. He adores attention from everyone. He is very smart, learning skills quickly. We really love our furry little Leo.

    It went great. I love Dawson so much. She was on time with Dawson. Gave me all the information on him and any time I had a question or wanted to see pictures of him. Dani is spot on responding. Dani is very professional and loves her puppies. I would recommend her to friends and family. Thank you and we love him. He has been a joy in our house. 😊

    Every aspect of my interaction with Dani has been awesome from the first telephone conversation to the many messages we exchange daily. She CARES for her puppies, and the breed, and that comes through clearly, immediately. That was important to me. She explained and walked me through the GoodDog payment process and what to expect and when I had an internet-related issue she helped me navigate successfully (with GoodDog assistance). Well the pup arrived today and he is as beautiful as the many pictures she sent and I am delighted. Nugget came with a bag that included the food he has been accustomed to eating, the vaccination records, a blanket and toy that had the scent of a sibling and his mother and a stuffed toy that imitates the mother’s heart beat to help him through the transition from one household and owner, to another. More important than a bag of goodies, was that I was prepared, well prepared by Dani for his arrival (from getting the correct size crate and bed, the best shampoo and supplements, etc. to how best to settle him in to his new home. She shared considerable experience which was invaluable in making my own choices (where best to place a crate, NOT next to me on the mattress, for example!) Dani is a new-found friend and we will share the journey of raising Nugget together I am sure. Google and Amazon ask raters to mark up to 5 Stars for an evaluation. Five stars is totally insufficient for Dani and Guillot Shi Tzu’s…she deserves at least a constellation! I am so happy I found her and through her my new puppy, the adorable, handsome, Nugget. Great experience across the board.

    We picked up our newest family member Abigail Rose (Abby) from Dani yesterday afternoon. Dani was wonderful and the process was super smooth! Dani explained everything to us and walked us through the paperwork with ease. You can tell she loves her puppies and it is evident from how Abby is responding to the family. Abby is a well adjusted and a little bundle of joy that will be a wonderful addition to our family. We couldn't have asked for a more positive experience!

    We had the most incredible experience with Dani from Good Dog! From the very start, it was evident that Dani is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. This was further validated when our vet confirmed how healthy and well-cared-for our puppy was during his first visit. What truly sets Dani apart is her transparency and dedication. Throughout the entire process, she kept us informed, sharing detailed information about Roux’s parents and explaining her thoughtful approach to pairing. Her commitment to selecting pairings that prioritize health was a priority for us and gave us great peace of mind. After spending over a year searching for our next fur baby and speaking with many other breeders, finding Dani felt like discovering a hidden gem. The level of care and attention she provides is unmatched. She prepared the most comprehensive puppy pack to help Roux transition smoothly to his new home. It included vet records, product recommendations, a microchip, toys, and more—everything we needed to feel confident bringing him home. Dani also kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which made the waiting period so much easier! The moment we finally brought Roux home, it was clear he was everything we hoped for and more—a happy, healthy, and loving addition to our family. If you are looking to add a new fur baby to your family, I wholeheartedly recommend Dani with the highest possible praise. She goes above and beyond to ensure her puppies have the best start in life and that their new families are fully prepared. Roux has brought so much love into our lives already, and we are forever grateful to Dani for making this experience so special.

    Great experience and I’m so in love with my puppy, Boots! Dani answered all my questions and posted almost daily updates on all the puppies. She even sent an amazing gift bag home complete with information, dog food, puppy treats and toys! 10/10 experience for my first time getting a puppy with a breeder. I highly recommend her! Her puppies are well taken care of and very sweet. If you’re looking for a shihtzu breeder who cares about her dogs, you found the right person with Dani! Maybe I’ll get a sibling for my Boots in the future!
