Meet the breeder

I'm Veronica G., the breeder behind High Desert Shih Tzu located in Oak Hills, CA. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.

Q. & A. with Veronica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Six years ago, my world changed when I found out my daughter needed a transplant. During that difficult time, I wanted to bring a little joy into our home—something comforting, something special. She had always dreamed of having an indoor puppy, so I began researching different breeds. After much searching, I discovered the Shih Tzu, and I instantly fell in love. Their sweet nature and affectionate personalities were exactly what we needed. I never imagined I would one day become a breeder—until a kind woman saw my dog and loved her just as much as we did. She offered her stud, and together we welcomed our first litter of beautiful puppies. It took me a full year to decide whether I wanted to continue breeding. I took a chance… and I absolutely love it. What started as a way to bring comfort to my daughter has grown into a true passion. Every puppy is raised with the same love and care that started this journey in the first place

    We were so impressed with Veronica! She is such a kind and caring breeder who clearly wants the very best for her dogs and puppies. We found her on Good Dog after seeing her five-month-old puppy, Millie, and from our very first interaction, Veronica was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. She quickly answered all of our questions, took time to FaceTime with us so we could see Millie in action, and gave us a wonderful sense of Millie’s temperament and needs. It was obvious how much love and attention she gives her puppies. Her home was exceptionally clean — something we really appreciated after experiences we’ve had with other breeders in the past — and all of the puppies were clearly very well cared for and socialized. We drove from Arizona to California to pick up Millie, and she has been an absolute delight! We are so grateful to Veronica for helping bring such a sweet and wonderful puppy into our lives.

    Veronica was amazing to work with she was so kind and FaceTimed me prior to purchase to make sure he was exactly what I wanted. She sent us photos and a video leading up to his pickup date and she was flexible with the meeting spot. She even checked on him after his first night it was so wonderful to work with such a compassionate breeder. And our puppy is PERFECT
