Michael T.

Breeder of Shih Tzus

Meet the breeder

I'm Michael T., the breeder behind Puppy Paw Prince located in Burlington, NC. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!

Q. & A. with Michael

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started breeding because we have some very special colors. We have a silver Blue male, and a liver female with blue eyes as well as another liver with reddish brown and white markings and a tricolor female. We have been asked multiple times to breed our dogs due to the care they know we provide as well as training and grooming for puppies to start life off right. We are not full time breeders.

  • What makes your program special?

    We begin outside potty training for the puppies as well as some grooming including scissors, thinning shears, and clippers for their paws, so they have been started on good grooming habits. We trim their nails, teach them their names as well as beginning behavior skills. They are socialized with other dogs as well as people. We are very strict when it comes to outsiders due to disease.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
