Meet the breeder

I'm Vickie R., the breeder behind Vickie's Shih Tzus located in Buda, TX. My Shih Tzu breeding program is based in the heart of Texas. I am a small home breeder. I am retired and I devote full time to my program. My grandchildren visit me often and love to play with the puppies. My husband is also retired and socializes with the puppies. My puppies are in high demand and are always going to their new homes after they are eight weeks. Each puppy is special and is always chosen by loving families to live with.

Q. & A. with Vickie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted something to do after I retired from the State of Texas. I love the Shih Tzu breed. So I decided to become a Shih Tzu dog breeder.

    The time I'm able to spend with my puppies ensures that they're properly loved and cared for, and will be wonderful additions to your family.

    Vickie and her husband, Jaime were wonderful! I drove out to their location. Not knowing what to expect. I had a very nice lady come to the gate, who then guided me to Vickie’s home. I Jaime came out , introduced himself and then I met Vickie and (Bingo - named by my 10 year old). Vickie and Jaime were beyond great. All smiles, polite and very comforting (I was a tad nervous). We sat around a table and started talking and playing with Bingo. They were very patient with me and all my random questions. I never felt rushed or pressured into anything. I felt comfortable and felt so lucky to be picking up our dog from this lovely couple / family. I received a goodie bag with sweet gifts, some food and all the paperwork needed. I actually went straight to the vet and all was good! We are beyond in love with our Bingo! Thank you Vickie & Jaime.

    We are so happy with our sweet and very energetic puppy Kiwi. Vickie is a great caregiver of her Shih Tzu puppy’s. Kiwi is healthy and adjusting very well in our home. I highly recommend Vickie and the Shih Tzu breed for adoption,

    Vickie was very responsive and weekly gave me updates on Tonka. When questions were asked she had no problem responding and making sure I was getting a real sweetheart pup. Tonka immediately bonded with us and I couldn’t ask for a better seller. Her spouse - Jaime greeted me at their gate the day of and together they introduced me to Tonka ❤️

    I’m so happy that I found my puppy through Vickie’s Shih Tzu’s. Vickie was very responsive and kept me updated on my handsome boy, Chance. She shared pictures and videos with me weekly, and she was very transparent with me throughout the whole process. When it was time to pick up my bundle of joy, her and her husband greeted us and they were very friendly. My pup came with a bag of goodies to go home with, which I appreciated. If you’re looking for a Shih Tzu, I would HIGHLY recommend Vickie’s Shih Tzu’s.

    Vickie and her husband are wonderful. We had been looking for a Shih Tzu for a long time and feel so lucky that we found just the right breeder. We can tell our puppy was loved and had lots of attention. Vickie sent us photos whenever we asked for updates. She would respond quickly and we even got to visit our puppy in person before bringing her home. When we did pick our puppy up to go home she gave us a bag full of all sorts of items that made the transition go smoothly. Our puppy had a great first vet visit and we could not be any happier with our experience.

    Vickie and her husband, Jaime, were wonderful to work with! They were so welcoming when we asked if we could come and visit before purchasing our puppy. They opened their home to us, answered all our questions, and gave us time to get acquainted with our pup. On the day we returned to bring our little guy home, she had a fantastic goodie bag prepared for us, along with his health record and food. Our puppy was well-groomed and ready to travel. He is such a calm little guy with a sweet temperament. Choosing Vickie as our "breeder of choice" was the right choice for us, and great experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
