Meet the breeder

I'm Aryanna R., the breeder behind North State Shih tzus located in Chico, CA. Introducing Our Adorable Shih Tzu Puppies! We are proud to offer our beautiful Shih Tzu puppies to loving homes! Our dogs are not only healthy but also possess wonderful temperaments that make them perfect companions. When we welcomed our first Shih Tzu into our family, we were instantly in love. Their affectionate nature and playful spirit captured our hearts, and since that moment, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families. Each of our puppies is raised in a loving environment, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready to become part of your family. We take great care in their upbringing, focusing on health, temperament, and a strong bond with their human companions. If you're looking for a loyal, loving pet that will brighten your days, we invite you to meet our delightful Shih Tzu puppies! We believe that every puppy deserves a loving home, and we’re excited to help you find your new best friend. Contact us today to learn more!

    We're in love with Bubbles! Aryanna and her team were great to work with and we're super happy with our experience selecting Bubbles (aka Chestnut). Communication, deposit and payment day of was smooth through the GoogDog platform. We received updates each week leading up to our pickup with was at a convenient middle ground for us all. Bubbles is a beautiful Shih Tzu with wonderful colors and fun yet even temperament. Now home a few weeks potty training is going well and we're enjoying puppy time! We highly recommend Aryanna and North State Shih Tzus.

    Aryanna and her family were super patient and responsive. I would buy a whole litter from her if I could. We got our precious wookie (nic) he is amazing. Very Smart already potty trained, playful, and fearless. You can tell he’s come from a very loving home. She gave us a goodie bag and a detail vet visit about any genetic problems. Our wookie is perfect.

    This was the first time getting a puppy without seeing in person. DeeDee was understanding, and responded promptly to my questions to alleviate any fears I had. She also sent videos and pictures. We ended up with the best puppy, Ember, for us. We picked her up 2 weeks ago at 8 weeks old, with a personalized gift package, very nicely done. The 4 1/2 drive home was good. Promise (Ember) is now 10 weeks and is a joy, a great addition to our family.

    Working with Aryanna was wonderful. She answered all our questions, even the stupid ones, open and honestly. She still answers any questions that came up once Gabby( Raven) was home. Aryanna helped guide us through the process with Good Dog. When we picked up Gabby it was very apparent the Aryanna took great pride in her puppies and the care she gives them. We have refer friends and family to North State Shih Tzu and Good Dog.

    I had a great experience with Aryanna. Working with her was easy. Clear communication, easy pick up. They sent us home with a little goodie bag which was very thoughtful. We took our puppy to the vet this last week and he had a great check up and the vet was pleased with his health. Our little guy is so sweet and has a great temperament , he is bright and picking up on house training very quickly. I would recommend Aryanna to my friends and I already have!
