Meet the breeder

I'm Susan G., the breeder behind Top Hats 2 Shih Tzu’s located in Covington, GA. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Shih Tzu breeders. Our dogs live in our home.

Q. & A. with Susan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had miniature poodles many years ago & bred them for year's. I always wanted a Shih Tzu but couldn't afford one. I got my first Shih Tzu 11 years ago and besides my 17 year old poodle which I still have, I never got anything but Shih tzus from then on. Their personality is the sweetest of any breed I've ever had and I've owned almost all the small breeds that don't shed since I have always loved animals but have allergies.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have excellent quality red, lavender, blues, liver, brindle, gold with black mask, tri color. We have lineage all the way from Romania & Sweeden from a retired breeder of 64 years!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and tan, tricolor, sable, chocolate and tan, liver, blue, gold, red, black and white, silver gold and white, silver and white, and gold and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Our sweet 10 month old shih-tzu had had a terrible accident and passed away. Our family was devastated, but especially his 10 month old sister. I started a search for a sweet little boy to help all of us with our grief. I came across Susan's Good Dog profile, and found our Frankie. Susan was so knowledgeable and kind, and understood our pain. She made the entire experience easy and personable. It gave us comfort to see the love and attention she gave to all her sweet shih-tzus. She has been quick to answer all our questions and definitely patient with us. We are so grateful to her for bringing Frankie into our lives. Especially for our sweet Penny.

    Susan was so wonderful to work with and answered my laundry list of questions! She was very detailed and kept in touch with texts and photos along the way! I chose to fly to Atlanta to pick up our new addition and it was such an easy and smooth process. Our new family member is a beautiful and healthy puppy! I highly recommend her as a breeder!

    My wife and I started looking for our next family member 6 months after losing our beloved Rocky. Rocky was our heart for alln12 of those years. While searching online I can across Good Dog App, after doing a little searching I came across the most beautiful litter of black Shih Tsu pupplies being raised by Susan G in Georgia. After texting back and forth and watching videos of the puppies for a few hours we decided to purchase one one of the male puppies, my wife suggested that we purchase 2 brothers from the litter. We called Susan and bought our Little Dudes as we call them, Cruz & Jax! We set a time for pickup and drove the 500 miles to pick them up and spend time bonding on the trip home. Cruz & Jax were cleaned and ready for pickup on Saturday morning. Susan is very responsive to questions and info on her puppies and in my opinion is the best breeder I have ever been associated with. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Susan for any of her pups. They are a true blessing. Thanks so much again, Stan & Kim Loewe

    Hi Susan, Happy Thanksgiving from Levi and I. He’s a sweet puppy and I just love him!

    Susan is so sweet and responsive. You can tell she loves these puppies with all her heart and has prepared them for their new homes so well. Gabby has been with us for 6 days now and adjusted to our home very quickly. She’s already had her first checkup at the vet and is perfectly healthy. She was already puppy pad trained which was amazing! Her social skills are unbelievable for her age. She is so very smart and loving! Thank you Susan for all that you have done! Gabby is the perfect addition to our family.

You can tell they truly care about their dogs and the families they go to. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them!
