Meet the breeder

I'm Meredith C., the breeder behind Lil’ Luvs Shih Tzu located in Menifee, CA.

It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!

Q. & A. with Meredith

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because I love the Shih Tzu breed. I strive to breed high quality, healthy, well socialized Shih Tzus. I really think they are the best dogs ever!

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes my breeding program special is the fact that my Shih Tzus are raised right alongside me. They live in my home until the day they leave for their new one. I make sure to spend time with them everyday. I believe it’s really important for them to get that socialization starting from the time they open their eyes.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Our breeder Meredith was a delight to work with. She was quick to respond to questions, transparent with information and experience, and very reasonable with pricing. Our pup, came home 95% pad trained which was very helpful. And Meredith is still open to our post purchase questions. This was a first time experience purchasing a pup in this manner and we couldn’t be more pleased with Meredith of Lil’ Love ShihTzu, and for the Good Dog platform bringing us together. 🐾❤️
