I'm Patricia & Shawn B., the breeder behind Patty’s Paws located in Winston Salem, NC. We are a hard working family and we love our dogs! We love raising our puppies and meeting people from around the United States! We have been breeding our dogs for 3 years but also have previous experience in breeding dogs from about 15 years ago. Trish also has experience as a vet technician and provides ongoing advice to the families who have purchased one of our pups. All of our puppies have first vaccines, vet check, deworming and fecal exam, and are microchipped!
Q. & A. with Patricia & Shawn
Why did you start breeding?
When we began looking for a Morkie, we saw that there are many scams out there looking to hook people into placing a deposit for a puppy that doesn’t exist. It took months of first looking to adopt, not finding a Morkie, and the months of dodging scam attempts before we finally got our first baby, Benji. We named him after our favorite famous dog from the 80s!
After finding Benji, we realized that there must be others out there struggling as we did to find a Morkie, and thus, we began our little business, in hopes of saving people from broken hearts due to scammers in this area!
What makes your program special?
We really, REALLY do our best to make your experience special! We send photos and videos, conduct video calls, encourage home visits, and really are available 24/7 to our buyers!
We also do something special on your take home day to truly make your experience one of a kind, and it’s something no other breeder does a far as we know! It’s a secret! But you won’t be disappointed!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 12 Nov. •
Hi guys! Please know that I have updated my contract and please review at your convenience once I send out the revised version. Instead of requiring four months of pet insurance I am requiring one month of pet insurance and evidence of the pet insurance one day prior to pick up of your puppy. I have partnered with a company called Trupanion Who offers the first month of pet insurance free with no obligation to continue. In other words, this is a free requirement when you sign up with Trupanion. I will be adding my reference code so that you can sign up for the free month of insurance starting the day you receive your puppy. This means that although it is a requirement to have pet insurance for 30 days it will not cost you anything. Believe me when I say that this can save you hundreds of dollars. I just had a lady forced to spend $700 because when she switched dog food, the puppy had stomach upset that included diarrhea. If she had insurance, the bill would have been $70. If you have any questions about the requirement for pet insurance when purchasing a puppy from me, please let me know! Again, I will be sending out another update that includes the reference code for Trupanion so that you can sign up for that one month of free pet insurance with no obligation to continue it. Have a blessed day!

Just a quick update, I’ve been at the doggy ER For a dog who is injured. The injured dog is not in any way part of this program, but I wanted to let you guys know why there is a delay in pictures and video updates. I absolutely will get fresh pictures and updates for you Monday and I appreciate your patience. Thank you so much and God bless!

Patricia was very easy to talk to and got to know me and what I was looking for in a puppy. I had fallen in love with two of her puppies and she guided me in making my decision by letting me know their personalities. Together we made a perfect match and I couldn’t be happier. Chloe loves to play but will snuggle up right on me.

Patrica & Shawn were wonderful and we were thrilled to receive a couple of healthy fur babies! Not only that but they came with all the food and goodies to get us started. Certainly an unexpected gift! Thank you for everything!

Patricia and Shawn were amazing to work with. Very responsive and understanding. Gave me a FaceTime showing all the available pups and where they were being raised. Answered all of my questions and helped me through the process of getting Ollie transported home.
Ollie is now one year old and he is the best snuggle bug you could ask for. Curls up with us every night. He’s the perfect fit for our family and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

Verified owner · Feb. 2025
Patricia was really great and easy to work with. She communicated with me right away and was quick to answer any questions I had. Because I live in a different state, we set up a call and talked a long time about the puppy and each other so that we got to know one other and become comfortable which was great! I feel like I got to know her and the puppy well before I even met him.

What am amazing experience we had working with Patricia and Shawn! I decided to get a puppy as a Christmas gift for my son, to be delivered by Santa on Christmas morning. Patty was in constant contact, clearly excited about keeping it a secret :) She provided pictures and videos regularly and was extremely accommodating when we picked up the little guy on Christmas Eve. Our puppy is full of energy and as cute as could be! I highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for an adorable and loved pup. They clearly care about their dogs and treat them as their own. We couldn't be happier with our little Morkie- THANK YOU Patty's Paws!!
