I can’t recommend Girlie enough! As first time pet owners, my partner and I did a lot of research to find a breeder that was a good fit for our needs. Girlie was just as great as other reviews have noted—knowledgeable, responsive, and caring. She let us visit her adult dogs before the litter was born and has continued to be a resource since we brought our puppy home. She also does substantial work with her dog before they come home. Our puppy arrived home potty trained, has slept through the night without an issue, and learns new skills very quickly. A great experience all around!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Girlie! When I first contacted her I had just lost my 16 year old girl, I was grieving, she responded quickly with so much compassion. I continued following her so when I saw a litter born, I contacted her and was blessed to secure our girl. She sent videos often, communicated well. She spends so much time developing the puppies. Desensitizes them to sounds & touch, nurtures their intelligence, it is so clear she has a true passion for Shih Tzus. We have our girl just a few days and I have never in my whole life experienced a dog like this. She immediately slept through the night, is intelligent, playful, has bonded with us all. She has already mastered potty training! You would be so lucky to welcome a furbaby from Girlie into your family, we could not be happier!

Great experience. Being a first-time pet owner, finding a responsible and truthful breeder was my first priority. I have followed Girlie’s social medias for months to get to know her breeding exercise. When I made my decision to contact her to inquire about availability, the colors/gender of the puppy did not matter to me. I felt that any of the litter from her would be the greatest one. On the puppy visit day, I confirmed what I had observed in the photos and videos. The puppies were well cared in a clean and neat house. My furry baby is healthy and adorable and almost potty-trained. I highly recommend this breeder if someone considers adopting a Shih-Tzu friend!

It is very important to choose a good breeder more so than even the dog itself. I can’t say enough good things about Girlie. She truly cares for each dog from day one and spends quality time to condition them properly. Communication with her was very easy and she took time to call and text us about all of our questions and concerns. Most importantly, she is careful about the quality of the dogs that she breeds. They are DNA tested to avoid genetic faults. But also the faces, and sizes of her dogs are perfect. I have owned Shih Tzus for over 15 years and there is a big difference in quality and size for this breed. Girlies dogs are the right healthy size, and the shape of their heads and faces are top quality.

I am overjoyed with my recent puppy purchase from Girlie! Her expertise as a breeder truly shines through – my new furry friend is not only adorable but also well-socialized and healthy. Girlie’s commitment to her puppies’ well-being is evident, and the entire process, from inquiry to bringing my new companion home, was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Girlie for anyone looking to add a loving and well-cared-for puppy to their family. 🐾💖

I was blessed to receive a well-adjusted, friendly and calm little girl. I was prepared to be kept awake for the first week or so due to her missing her family, but after 20 minutes of crying the first night, Sugar is sleeping through the night. I can’t say enough about Girlie. She was available for anything and everything on an almost immediate basis. Her home is a beautiful, immaculate puppy-friendly environment that lends itself to the rearing of perfect little puppies. Girlie sent me so many videos of Sugar that I felt that I knew her before I met her. Girlie is to be commended!!!

We’re so happy with our new addition to the family. Girlie E is great! Very knowledgeable about the breed, takes great care of the puppies in a clean and loving environment. Quickly replied to any messages or questions I had, sent me updates and pictures/videos of Ozie while we were waiting for him to be ready to take home. AND we were given a gift bag of his medical records, toys, puppy food, water bottle and even a blanket w the Mom’s scent. ❤️ Highly recommend getting a puppy from this breeder 😁

Girlie is an incredible breeder and I am so lucky to have found her. From the beginning it’s clear how much she cares for the dogs and the human parents they’re going home to. She sent me lots of videos before he came home, was so well informed, and offered great advice to get us ready for him. Her home is pristine and the dogs are clearly well loved and cared for. Once he came home, she checked in every day and answered all our silly questions. She is so supportive and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

I just picked up my sassy little Layla. I am beyond grateful for Girlie. She is the most wonderful breeder. She is so knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledge with us. She raises the most beautiful and loving little Shih Tzus. I have never met or seen a more loving breeder. I am so happy to have found Girlie in order to make my family a little larger. She is such a wonderful loving caring lady. I’m sure we will build a great friendship over our loving pups. And when I’m ready again I would definitely go back for any future pups. If you are looking to grow your family I highly recommend Girlie. Big shout out to Girlie. Thank you so much. Girlie’s puppies are the BEST ! Much love!

Girlie is such an amazing breeder and person!! Not only does she love all the puppies but she takes amazing care of them!! She keeps in touch with you, sends pictures and videos of your puppy. She also periodically goes live so you can watch them. She is always there to answer questions and give advice, even after you bring home your adorable puppy. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is as a breeder and person!!!!! I am sooo grateful that I found her!!!! It was meant to be!!!

The puppies were of excellent quality and well cared for and clean . Her house was immaculate! She was so easy to work with. I will be back Girlie Eslabon! I love you! Love Lisa and Nico!

I am so glad I found Girlie through Good Dog when I was searching for responsible Shih Tzu breeders. She was so easy to talk to, responsive, and patient. As a first-time dog owner, she answered all my questions and concerns patiently and was never pushy about me buying a puppy. We got a chance to visit our little puppy in Girlie’s home before picking him up. We can definitely tell that she took great care of all her puppies and dogs. We were so glad that our little pup already have some exposure to potty training when we picked him up, making our first week significantly easier. Would highly recommend!!!!

Manting L, 02/15/2023, - Puppies.com

We just got our puppy from Girlie about a week ago and I have to say, I have never had such an incredible experience with a breeder or puppy! Girlie was so kind and easy to talk to. She answered all of my questions and provided a lot of support. Teddie is the most beautiful, sweet, smart and well adjusted puppy I’ve ever had- and I had Shih tzus my entire childhood and part of my adult life! He is just the best little guy. He was so clean and well taken care of when he came to us. You can tell that Girlie absolutely loves her puppies and takes such good care of them. We would totally get another puppy from her in the future!

We could not have found a better breeder than Girlie Eslabon. She has an amazing amount of experience with Shih Tzus and great compassion for the dogs. You can see that the moment you meet her. All of her care for the puppies is excellent: Grooming, feeding, vet visits, potty training, exercising, and whelping. On top of this, she produces wonderful music video vignettes that update everyone on what’s going on with each of her litters through social media. Individual puppies, like our Annie, are featured each week as they grow. Girlie’s attention to details is obvious, as is her love for every little ball of fur. She’s a gem. Thank you, Girlie, for answering each of our questions with unending patience and honesty. We’d give you ten stars if we could!

Bruce R, 01/23/2023, - Puppies.com

Girlie and her puppies were more than we could have ever asked for! She was very easy to deal with and completely informed about all things concerning the Shih Tzu breed. We are 100% satisfied with our boys and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an outstanding experience! Thank you again Girlie!

Steve B, 01/21/2023, - Puppies.com

I cannot say enough wonderful words about my experience with Girlie and her puppies! These puppies come from such a clean and loving home. I am local so I got to come see for myself! Girlie is always taking fun videos of the puppies and posting and will text you too. She will always answer all of your questions. I found out about these puppies the day they were born and truly enjoyed the experience of watching them grow this far. Coco is now home with me and she is perfect! I highly recommend Girly, best puppy experience ever! 🐶❤️

Diana N, 08/09/2022, - Puppies.com

Girlie is one of the most compassionate breeders out there and is very accommodating. I found her on tik tok and that’s how i found my Allie. If I had any questions she would answer and send me links on what to get if i wasn’t sure. I would highly recommend Girlie if your looking for a Shih tzu. I couldn’t be any happier and I would do all over again if I had to. Thank you so much Girlie for all your help!

Jordan B, 04/02/2022, - Puppies.com

Girlie is by far, the most sincere, professional, and caring breeder I have known. Her communication regarding Louis’ development and well-being went beyond my expectations. She consistently sent pictures of him via texts and social media. She immediately responded to any questions that we had. I highly recommend Girlie. Her shih-tzu puppies are clean, healthy and adorable!!!

Susie A, 03/31/2022, - Puppies.com

Awesome experience I couldn`t have been happier with my experience from this breeder! Puppies were clean, well cared for and raised in family environment. I really appreciated the updates and videos I received while waiting for my pick update which I requested to be moved back. She was very accommodating for my situation and even provided a care package! My puppy is now a welcomed member of our family. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends! Thank you Girlie Eslabon!

Patrice C, 01/12/2022, - Puppies.com

Amazing and Loving Breeder with the best puppies! We were grieving after the death of our 16 year old shih tzu — but our grief was tempered by discovering Girlie and her pups. She was so friendly and honest, and I loved getting videos of the puppies via text. She never pressured us as we vacillated about whether it was the right time for a new pup. We eventually did decide to get one, and brought him home today. He is SO beautiful, healthy and well-socialized. Girlie is a wonderful breeder! I would recommend her to anyone!

Lori L, 06/25/2021, - Puppies.com

Great experience from start to finish I just received my beautiful puppy from Girlie Eslabon and I am completely delighted. The whole process was pretty seamless! She promptly responded to my initial inquiry and soon thereafter a contract was executed that would ultimately bring me my new Furbaby. I had a Shih Tzu before and I was excited to work with someone so well versed in the breed. I received frequent updates by photos, texts and videos. She was also easily accessible by phone. It was easy to see that the whole litter was well cared for and even given a head start on things like potty training! Girlie is clearly passionate in what she does throughout the whole process. She was informative, helpful and quick to answer any questions. This was an all-around pleasant experience. I love my new puppy and look forward to the days and years ahead.

A Fabulous Breeder Twenty-three years and three Shih Tzus later, we were in search of a new pup to fill our home with all things puppy. Well, instead of one pup, we purchased two from Girlie, Skyla and Prince Charlie. From the first phone call through the day we picked up our pups, Girlie was absolutely wonderful! She is very professional, friendly, responsive and knowledgeable of the Shih Tzu breed. We continually received text updates and photos of the pups from Girlie, that clearly demonstrated her love, passion and dedication as a breeder. The pups were very well cared for, trained and socialized. We now have two gorgeous, healthy pups with wonderful personalities who love to be around us and our family. We couldn`t be happier. Thank you Girlie for all your hard work! If you are looking for a new pup, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Girlie, she is the best!
