Meet the breeder

I'm Dolores P., the breeder behind Lilly’s Seashore Shih Tzus located in Lanoka Harbor, NJ. Hi, I’m Dolores, the breeder behind Lilly’s Seashore Shih Tzus in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey! My love for Shih Tzus started with the breed itself and has only grown stronger over the years. Their sweet, affectionate personalities, playful nature, and endless loyalty make them truly one of a kind. They have a way of bringing so much happiness into a home, and I feel incredibly lucky to share my life with them every day. Breeding is so much more than raising puppies, it’s about preserving everything that makes this amazing breed so special. Every litter is thoughtfully planned with health, temperament, and structure in mind, and every puppy is raised right in my home surrounded by love, attention, and everyday family life. From their very first days, they’re handled with care, introduced to new experiences, and given the best possible start so they can grow into confident, well-adjusted companions. One of my favorite parts of breeding is getting to watch each puppy’s unique personality develop. No two puppies are exactly alike, and I take the time to get to know each one so I can help match them with the family that’s the best fit. My goal isn’t simply to place puppies, it’s to create lifelong matches between wonderful dogs and loving homes. I stand behind every puppy I raise and truly care about where they spend the rest of their lives. My commitment doesn’t end when a puppy goes home. I love staying connected with my puppy families, celebrating milestones, watching them grow, and being a resource whenever they need me. Being trusted to raise these incredible little dogs is something I never take for granted. It’s a privilege to play a small part in so many families’ stories, and I hope every puppy I raise brings as much love, laughter, and companionship into their home as Shih Tzus have brought into mine.

    Adopting my Shih Tzu from Dolores was truly one of the most special experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, you could tell this wasn’t just a transaction—it was something deeply personal to her. When she handed Nigel to me, it was such an emotional moment. You could see how much she genuinely loved her puppies. There was happiness in knowing he was going to a good home, but also a quiet sense that she was giving away a little piece of her heart. That kind of care and connection is something you just can’t fake. Nigel has turned out to be the sweetest dog I could have ever hoped for. I might be a little biased, but I truly believe his incredible temperament comes from the love and attention he received early on. He is gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loving—the kind of dog that makes every day better just by being there. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else if I were looking for another Shih Tzu. Dolores has, in a way, become part of our family through Nigel. You can tell she pours her heart into raising her puppies, and that makes all the difference.
