I'm Stacey G., the breeder behind Precious to the world Shih Tzu’s located in Hull, GA. I breed my Shih Tzus for excellent health, loving temperaments, and gentle, well-socialized personalities. My goal is to raise happy, healthy puppies who grow into loyal companions and bring joy to their forever families.
Q. & A. with Stacey
Why did you start breeding?
My journey into breeding began with my first Shih Tzu, Sammi, who was not only my shadow but also my greatest love. He was truly the heart of my life, and losing him left a hole that could never be filled, but also a deep desire to keep sharing the unconditional love and joy this breed brings. I didn’t set out to replace him, no one ever could, but to honor his memory by raising puppies with the same love and devotion he gave me. As a full-time nurse, wife, and mother, caregiving is at the core of who I am, and I give my whole self in everything I do. Breeding Shih Tzus brings me a sense of fulfillment and joy, knowing each puppy is given the best start in life and the chance to bring that same love into another family’s heart.
What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the love and dedication I pour into every puppy. It’s always bittersweet when they’re ready to leave at 9 weeks, because by then I’ve cared for them and watched them grow, and I can’t help but get attached. I don’t just breed….I truly invest my heart in each litter. I genuinely love these babies and take pride in matching them with families who will cherish them as much as I do. Staying in touch and seeing them thrive in their forever homes is one of the greatest joys of my program.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tricolor, liver and white, black and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We couldn't be any happier with our new puppy, Chuck. He truly is a blessing to our family. I could tell from the start that Stacey and her family took great care of all of her dogs and their puppies. We talked regularly and she updated me regularly on how he was doing and gave me all of the information needed for his transition to our family. We were looking for a small breeder that viewed all of their dogs and puppies as family and Stacey and her family fit the bill. Chuck is a happy and healthy puppy that fit right in with our family.

Stacey G. is very caring and knowledgeable about the Shih Tzu breed. We purchased the cutest male Shih Tzu from Stacey G. and we are not disappointed. Stacey remembers each and every puppy and checks in with the forever home owners often and that makes her a wonderful, warm, and considerate breeder. Please know Stacey G is a trusted breeder for several years and if our family are in need of an additional Shih Tzu we will seek out Stacey G again. We have a 1 year old male Shih Tzu -Polo- is an adorable fur baby that is smart, adorable, and entertaining. Stacey G makes sure that all the puppies are vaccinated and registered and she starts them on a healthy Hill's Science Diet regime specifically for Shih Tzu. We love Stacey G and her family because they take very excellent care of the puppies before they become a part of your family ❤️🙏🏾. She pays attention to details and that is what makes Stacey G the best breeder...EVER!

My experience with Stacey was wonderful! She is a very responsive breeder and promptly answered any questions and even met me in an effort to save me some drive time. My puppy is happy, healthy, and thriving. To my surprise, she even sleeps alone without whining throughout the night. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase.

Stacey is awesome to work with. She let me see my baby and his parents on video call prior to meeting him. Stacey made everything so easy with purchasing my Teddy Baer.
My baby has had no health issues at all which tells me she takes care of her babies.
Thanks Stacey for my sweet little boy!

Abby has adjusted well to her new home! She has met other dogs and people. She has gone shopping for toys, made her first wellness visit to the vet, and has gone for walks in her carrier.
Stacey was wonderful to work with and Abby's terrific breeding is all due to Stacey's efforts! Thank you for a fantastic companion!
