Meet the breeder

I'm Nikole B., the breeder behind Precious Lil Tzus located in Lake City, SC. We breed high-quality puppies.

We are honored to bring another member of the family into your life!

Q. & A. with Nikole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started breeding after we saw how much love and joy our first shih tzu Kali gave us . After that I studied breeding for 2 years and here I am now providing family with amazing Shih Tzu babies!

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes my program special is that we care for all of all puppies with love and we take pride in everything we do with our pups. With that's being said I make sure to study the temperament of my puppy and complete ESI/ESN on them to make sure my babies are ready for the real world and their new families!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, liver, gold and white, red and white, brindle and white, liver and white, black gold and white, black white and silver, black gold and silver, black and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
