Hillhaven - House Of Tzu

Hillhaven - House Of Tzu is a Shih tzu breeder in Candler, NC, in Buncombe County near Asheville. Patricia Corn draws on years of hands-on experience to monitor each litter’s health from day one and maintain detailed veterinary records for every puppy.

Puppies are raised in a family environment where they receive daily socialization with children and calm exposure to routine household sounds. A dedicated mothering area indoors ensures the pair-bonding essential for Shih tzu temperament alongside playtime in a fenced yard at sunset. All breeding adults undergo standard health screenings for inherited eye and joint conditions, with clear results shared before placement.

The program at Hillhaven emphasizes companion qualities over show conformation, nurturing dogs known for gentle behavior and adaptability to new families. Visitors note the calm, affectionate nature of these Shih tzu and appreciate the ongoing guidance on grooming, training, and wellness routines.
