I'm Kayla and Malinda S., the breeder behind WillowCreek Mountain View Shih Tzu located in North Carolina. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and homing our puppies.
Q. & A. with Kayla and Malinda
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised in a home with show dogs. My mother started breeding goldens and shih tzu when I was young. I have assisted repro vets and learned quite a bit during this time. This has become very important to me to preserve the breed and raise quality, well bred dogs for families with the temperament and structure they were originally bred for.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, black and white, brindle and white, silver and white, red and white, gold and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It was a wonderful experience. Our new shih tzu puppy, 'Butters', is such a joy. He arrived to us clean, puppy pad trained and VERY healthy. He is very smart and I am absolutely in love. I could not be more grateful to WillowCreek, they are wonderful breeders and I will getting another shih tzu from them one day!
