I'm Andrea B., the breeder behind Rustic_Charm_by_Andye located in Kaufman County, TX. My breeding program prioritizes responsible practices, emphasizing health, careful pairing and early socialization to give every puppy the strongest start in life. I strive to raise confident, affectionate Shih Tzus with the signature sweet expression and gentle personality that families adore.
Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
It was always in my plans to become a breeder once my "nest" was empty. I have raised 4 children and I turned 50 in February of 2025. So, I decided to start my new adventure in celebration of my birthday. My husband and I hand selected a handsome male and a beautiful female to raise as our own "fur babies" in hopes of breeding them.
What makes your program special?
Each puppy is raised in a loving, home-based environment where they receive attention, enrichment and proper veterinary care. My goal is to connect families with well-balanced, healthy companions while also honoring the breed's history and standards. Ethical breeding, transparency and lifelong support for new owners are the foundations of everything I do.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and tan and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
