JUST catching my breath and opening the computer... phew!! it has been hilarious.  first of all, this baby is a living doll.  we are SO in love with her, and I said to Richard last night, "I hope that Karen & Dennis are not missing her too much..."  I almost feel like I stole her away from you, because she is a MOST UNUSUAL dog.  she is SO smart and SO agreeable.  just a bucket of pure love.  she is a total gift to our household.  thanks again so much for letting us have her, and for making such a wonderful puppy.                 Carrick

These guys are so lovable. Take care..........Mary B.

Richard asked that I send you an update on Meeko.  What a wonderful week and a half this has been for the three of us.  Richard surprised me with her on Valentine's day at work and ever since, we have been attached to one another.  She has brightened our home in so many ways.  She is sleeping throughout the night and is 95% potty trained.  She is healthy and doing wonderfully. 

Her 1st vet appt. was on the 15th and she did wonderful!  She had her first grooming on Friday and again, she was calm and I believed she enjoyed it. 

She is great with people and very obedient.

Thank you so much for allowing her into our home.  We love her so much.  Take care, Tasha

Hi Karen!

Update on Chloe she is the sweetest dog we have ever had! My shih tzu in college was sweet but kind of moody not our Chloe!!! She likes to use my tennis shoes as her pillows..... Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas! :) Tracy

Are all your puppies this loving? All Paris wants to do is to kiss everyone! Family friends neighbors strangers ! Even the garbage men stop their trucks to talk to her. She poses for each car or truck ! I love her so and so does Coco Chanel! She could be a therapy dog ! Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Karen!

Well we finally made it to Trussville at 7:00! I know Chloe was exhausted but she was the perfect passenger! :) She did real good last night and is getting settled into her new home. My husband was so excited to meet her! She did cry when she got put in her crate for bedtime but it was only for about 30 minutes. We already love her so!!!

Thank you! :)

Hi Karen!

Rosy is doing so well with everything.  She sleeps through the night, has taken to puppy pads very well even with pooping, most of the time.  We could not be happier! We took her to the vet on Tuesday  The vet had to take her to the back to show her to all the doctors!  And of all things, the vet’s middle name is Rose.  She was so tickled.  Rosy got her 2nd vaccine, nasal Kennel Cough and the deworm medication although she had no worms.  The vet told us as, you did, to avoid other dogs until she is total immunized.  We have another appointment November 19. She puts on a show for everyone who meets her, has sooooooooooooooo much energy and is sooooooooo intelligent.  We have taken tons of pictures and videos.  She does the cutest things and keeps us in stiches!

I can not thank you enough for letting us adopt her.  She is definitely the light of our lives at this time.  She is a joy to wake up to each morning.

With warmest regards and love

Karen,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note with an update on the adorable little black girl we got from. Our daughter Jennifer got her to take with her back to Cincinnati. They left yesterday and I am missing that baby terribly. Jennifer named her Suki and she has adjusted EXTREMELY well. We took her for a vet visit on Tues. and all is well. We also had her microchipped. She was sleeping in a crate and trained to go potty on the pee pad. Only 2 accidents the whole week. She was seeking out the pee pad on her own, eating like a little piggy all three meals, drinking from her water bottle and of course, play, play and more play! She was even climbing steps (much to our dismay). She loved our 3yr. old cockapoo and they played together very well. Our cockapoo seemed to know that Suki was a baby and was very gentle with her. We love her personality and she is just so sweet and lovable. She is very smart and when she sees or hears Jennifer she lights up with excitement and runs to her. Suki knows her name and comes when we call for her. Jennifer called me this morning to update that she slept the entire night last night in her crate with no potty breaks, woke up at 7:15am, went on the pee pad, ate her breakfast then wore herself out again playing until nap time. We couldn't be happier that we found you and your puppies. You did such a wonderful job with your breeding and socializing the babies until they were ready for their new forever homes. We are very grateful that we have this new little bundle of joy in our lives. 
p.s. My husband almost didn't let her go as he really fell for her too.

Thanks for raising such a cute, handsome, healthy puppy. We went to the vet he got checked, and microchipped. We named him Oliver. So far he loves being in our home.he loves the cat and my other dog already. Very playful and love his crate sooooo much. ( I'm very surprised) he is spoiled already. 

Thanks again.  C.P. (

Hi Karen,

I had to follow up again with you with our update on Ramsey.  He is the sweetest little baby boy and is so happy and loving I can’t begin to tell you.  He is doing so well and his big brother Payson has become his best friend.  You have given us another sweet Shih Tzu and we thank you!  I am attaching some sweet pictures which were better in person of course but I know you will enjoy them.

Hi Karen,
I just wanted to give you a long overdue update on the gorgeous little puppy I purchased from you in February. His name is Valentino and he was your last one from that litter.  He is the best puppy I could have ever imagined having! He is so smart, so beautiful and the most wonderful companion. We had a rocky start (my husband was in a car accident a few days after purchasing him) but those days are far behind us. He is an absolute joy!
Thank you for breeding such an outstanding dog!!         l. g.

Priss is doing fantastic. She went to the vet 2 days after we picked her up to get her check up as well as shots. She didnt even whine when they injected her which surprised everyone. They said shes in perfect health and commented on how adorable she is. In a week or so she'll be going back to the vet for a couple more of her shots. At first our other dog, Oscar, was polite to her but kept his distance. That only lasted four about 3 days though and now they run through the house playing whenever they get the chance. I think they'll be inseparable in a few months. She's almost house broken but we have to make sure we watch her every move so that we get her outside frequently enough. I think in a few more weeks we won't even have to worry about it. She seems to prefer going outside if she gets the chance thankfully. Thanks again for helping us find another great Shih Tzu! We'll keep you updated on her progress and send some pictures as she grows up. 

update: Shes doing great and continuing to get her shots. Shes completely house trained and VERY smart! She knows all sorts of commands now like come, sit, down and outside. We'll keep you updated with more photos every now and then to show you how shes doing.

Take care and I hope everything is well with you!

Hi Karen; hope you and yours are well. We are doing great, staying cool! We are planning a trip to Gaitlinburg in October, taking the pups with us. This will be their second road trip to the Mountains. Just wanted to drop a note to say "what a cutie" you have on the website. Wish we could bring him home here with us, too. I'm workin' Kevin! It's hard to believe that our "baby" girl will be 2 years old. She is still a sweetie, very cuddly, loving, smart and kissie! She has certainly been a lot of fun and brought joy to us and Harley. They get along fabulously, and everyone at the Animal Hospital/Groomer's just ooh and ah over her. Well, thanks again for raising/breeding such sweet babies. Take care, and enjoy your day.
Denise, Kevin, Harley and Hannah :-)    

Just want to let you know Bucca (sister) is doing great. I named her Zambucca after an Italian liquor,because of course she is Asian. Made sense at the time. She is alot bigger than her sister Novella, but she was bigger as a pup too. Not to worry she is very healthy and not over weight according to her vet. She loves being outside no matter what the weather. The bigger dogs on the island taught her how to hunt chipmunks. A shih tzus that hunts? That's my Bucca. I just want to thank you for such a wonderful gift. She is the best part of my day.   Trish

The baby is doing just wonderfully. He is so sweet. He has done very well drinking from a bowl and wow, what an appetite!

He has brought so much joy to our family. 

Thank you!!
