Double Feature Families
We are very glad you suggest that we purchase the play pen. It
is not something, I would have done as we did not use anything
like that with Spunky when he was a puppy. But for Sunny it has
been working out great. She adapted to it just like she did the
area you had built for them at your house. The only concern we
had was that the area under the door was a little high off the
floor. We were afraid with her short legs that she would
scratch her tummy on it. We ended up turning the whole thing
upside down so that the door goes clear to the floor. If you
were using it that way for a bigger dog it might lose some
stability, but with her being small it works just fine.The first pictures we sent you we had just set it up in the
living room. The second day we moved it to the bedroom and she
sleeps in it at night just fine, and goes in it when we go out
of the house.
We are so happy we found you and our Sunshine. As you can see she is
getting along well with Mercedes. ......Toni and Joel

"Niko" We have been married for 28 year and have no children. Our life had always been very active. We reached a point in our life when we felt a void. We decided to get a Shih Tzu puppy, after extensive research and seeing a calendar at the mall just before Christmas 2007. We did not know it at the time, but he would be the best present, we have ever given ourselves for Christmas.
The happiness he has brought into our home and lives is beyond
our wildest expectations. It is increditable the love we have for
him.
We are planning a one year party for him in September. We can not imagine our lives with out Niko and how empty it would be. He is part of our family. Thank you, Laura for bringing into our lives what we conceder the “THE MOST WONDERFUL DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD” Dana and Maria Mrzlikar, Utica, NY Thank you too, for all the love you give to my babies. |

~ Riley ~ He's defiantly living the "Life of Riley" We

June 08's Feature Family![]() ![]() Lord Bentley Hi Laura, I wanted to finally get back to you and let you know how (Milton) Bentley (Lord Bentley of Hendrick) is doing. I can’t tell you how much our family loves having him. He is like a little angel and was a perfect match for my noisy house with 3 kids and a large Lab. He immediately took to my oldest son and follows mommy around the whole house which I love. He is extremely loving and intelligent. From the very beginning he held his urine all night and when I take him outside he knows what he is supposed to do. He plays fetch and comes immediately when I call him and I never had to work at that. Needless to say I am in total awe of his abilities and just how precious he is. We can’t thank you enough for all the help you gave us via email while picking out a puppy and when we arrived at your home. We hope your family has a wonderful Holiday season and God Bless. We will definitely be back someday for a brother or sister for our little guy. Take care,
Nikki, Jim, Cole,
Ana, Gabe, Thunder & Bentley Growhoski Hi Laura, Bentley has been doing wonderful. We love him soooooooooo much and feel so blessed that we found a great breeder to give us an outstanding addition to our home. The vets can’t believe how sweet he is. They say they usually have problems with small dogs in the way of temperament but he is so cooperative and gentle and they’ve asked if we have done training but we haven’t yet it’s just him (which I constantly say is from great breeding). I hope all is well with you and yours and I occasionally look at your site at the new puppies and all of them are so adorable we will see you again some day. |

May's 08 Feature Family * Ruby * I absolutely love her personality. She is sooo smart. Brett has definitely warmed up to her. She has really stolen his heart…I don’t get kisses from him anymore....She gets all of them. She is defiantly already spoiled. Thank you so much for everything you have done. I truly feel very blessed to have Ruby in my life and had such a wonderful experience with you. "She is everything I had hoped for and much, much more"
Ruby is doing fabulous. She really has the cutest
personality. I’m so lucky to have her. Thank you
so much
Ruby is doing great and is spoiled rotten. (I don't know how it happened! he he) I know you are busy but I wanted to show you what a beautiful little girl you gave me. Thanks again, Melissa Mc Neilly Thanks for all the appreciation, lots of work went into giving you a Beauty. Glad to see the long hair, "I love it". XXX OOO |
~ Chewie & Luke ~ Thought you'd like to know that Chewie is doing great! He's such a well behaved little boy. He loves to play and run around the house. He sleeps about 6 hours at night before he needs a bathroom break. He's eating well and gaining weight. His favorite thing every morning is a tummy rub! His potty training was so easy - hardly any accidents. He even behaves during his bath, and sits patiently while we blow dry him. Everyone is asking where we got such a handsome little devil, so I've been handing out your web page like crazy! I'll be sure to send more photos as he gets older. Thanks so much for everything. He was the perfect addition to our home. Mackenzie and Derek (Mohawk) "One is never enough, second Sonshine Shih Tzu"

~ I Love my Pumpkin ~
Actually everyone loves Pumpkin! You
should have kept her, but soooo glad you didn't!!!!!!!!
She's my baby!!
Yes, Kenny plays with her and hugs her,
which is a miracle! He really loves her, all my neighbors love her.
She is so cute... Oh my goodness the way she
raises her paws is
the cutest thing! She's like human with those paws. I sent a couple of
pictures, when I figure out how to do this I'll send more.
Hope puppy breeding is going well. Did you sell all the pups from the
new litter?
God Bless!

08's Feature Family ~Panda Boy ~
We adore him and he
loves us. He is also quite a character.
Hi Laura,
Panda Boy (Appaloosa) has made
a wonderful addition to our household. He loves to play with our
other 2 dogs and us. He seems to know he is the baby and is an
adventure for all of us. We find
him to be intelligent and as frisky as they come. Our family is
totally in love with him and we enjoy him immensely. I can not
believe he is almost 5 months already. He weighs in at 10 pounds
and his groomer and vet can't get over how thick his coat is. My
husband calls him handsome. Our friends are all big fans of his
too.
I wish I had room for a whole bunch more! Micki Losurdo
So Adorably Photogenic...But I feel a little foolish |

January 08 's Feature Family Zeus, Shadow and Stormy
Our
Shih Tzus are family! They bring joy, love and warmth to everyone
that meets our furry kids. You should see it when the twins are here. It
is a riot to see them all together playing with one another.
"Just like potato chips, one is never enough" These two are never apart. They sleep, eat and play together. while sleeping they are head to tail. Could not imagine separating them. They are part of each others life and a big part of ours. Thanks we love them. Tootsie's Twins (2005) Buttons and Bows
Update '08 ...In reference to your questions concerning Jeffrey
Miller, we have known Jeffrey for over 10 years. We have purchased
five Shih Tzus from this breeder. The four females and one male were
in excellent health, had all the necessary shots and all the
paperwork was received when we picked up the dogs. The paper work
included information concerning Shih Tzu breed characteristics, etc.
We have visited the breeder's kennel three times and found it to
be clean and organized. There were several adult females and adult
males in the kennel and a couple of litters of cute little puppies
with their mothers in a separate area which is part of the house.
Three of our Shih Tzus live with my niece's family and two live
with my wife and me. We are not breeders but can highly recommend
Jeffrey Miller of Sonshine Shih Tzu and would certainly purchase
from him again. Sincerely yours,
Edward (Delaware, Dewy Beach)

December 07's Feature Family
& Miss Maggie ~ We're very happy we decided on
two. They are great company for each other and fun to watch playing
together.
Our Vet declared the dogs very healthy. Great and thanks.
He felt your food recommendations were right on target.
We had stool samples with us and they proved to be no problem.
They sleep in their nursery and most of the time we are
around so they play in the family room. they are getting a
lot of exercise. They enjoy most rough housing each other.
We are not sure who will end up dominant. Time will tell.
You will be happy to know, their vet does not give
Lepostprosis.
These
puppies are great. We are very happy we found you.
Paper training is near 100%. They have had their third
series of shots.
They
love the fenced in back yard and take full advantage of
the space to run and play.
They get brushed each night with handling of their feet
and brushing of teeth, sort of, so they are very willing
to allow this activity. In fact they settle down for the
night as a result of gentle brushing, Vermont "The
Booths"

~ Ziggy ~
Ziggy (Jack) is doing great!
He's eating, slept in my bed last night (I couldn't let him
cry too much), woke me up with kisses and is just a bundle
of love. Right now he's sleeping under my desk at work!
So again, thank you for everything. All the gifts and all
the love you put into this mission of yours. You are a
wonderful girl and
I
wish you all good things.....Love, Lydia
What?????Ziggy is your
nick name????? Is that karma or what?
By the way, Ziggy loves to fetch stuff and bring it back to
me. I read in some book on shih tzu that they don't like to
do that. He's totally into it. He's my complete pal.
Comes with me to the office everyday and loves it here. And
of course he's a hit with everyone. I'm so happy all the
time....it's great. Have a wonderful Memorial Day week end
and I'll write soon....Love, Lydia

October 07's Feature Family![]() ![]() ~ Jingles ~
HI Laura we would be
honored to be feature family of the month of October.
He was born on April 29,2000 and comes from a litter of 5 being
the only male in the bunch. We adopted him on July 11,2000. He
was just the cutest little fur ball ever!! I feel it was really
meant to be for him to become a part of our family. He has
brought nothing but joy & happiness to us.
We were very proud when Jingles was featured in
the 2004
Dog Fancy Calendar. He is
quite the little ham. When ever he sees Mom with the
camera he is ready to pose. In April 2005 Jingles had a huge
birthday party with one of his siblings Martha Rose it was so
much fun. In the summer of 2005 we tried to plan a family
reunion with the 5 pups and were only able to get together with
3. It was Jingles, and two of his four sisters Martha Rose &
Samantha. Bernadette & Misty were unable to attend. Well
now Jingy (as we call him) is 7 years old and still is as
playful and full of energy as the first day we brought him
home. We just can't imagine our lives without him.
Anyone out there who is considering
adopting a Shih Tzu GO FOR IT!! You
will never regret your decision. Brenda Rome, N.Y.-----
