*This says it all...So cute! We wish you many, many more years of love!

Dear Laura ,What could I write about Penny. Have you got a few days seriously, I could go on forever. Penny is the luckiest Penny I ever picked up. She's lovable, cute, intelligent, mischief, a tease & I wouldn't change a hair on her sweet little body. This summer Penny discovered the art of Blueberry picking, On our walks to  Buck Pond  she would run through the Bushes picking  the Blueberries .If we could just teach her to drop them in a basket instead of eating them. She is a hit wherever we go .She loves going to the vets,& she loves to get groomed, what more could one ask. just one thing, I think we should have called her COOKIE. She learned that word  from day one. We have to spell that word  out in our house. Have a great Thanksgiving & Penny says Hi to her Mommy & Daddy.

     Well, it has been 2 weeks since we brought Mitzy home. She is doing great. We took her to a puppy class (Syracuse Obedience Training Club). As you might figure she was the smallest one, but that didn’t stop her. She is the smartest dog I've ever met. I do every thing by hand signals. She gets it perfect every time (with some exceptions).  So far she can do sit, down, stand, come, and circle into a heel position. Mitzy is able to hold it all night but in the morning when we come down she rushes to the papers we have set up in the Florida room, which by the way she loves. We have taken her every where! We took her to my grandma’s house, to the nursing home where my other grandma is; we took her to the park for a concert, and many more places. She is the best little dog when it comes to people and children.  We just wanted to tell you that you were right about how buying your things are cheaper then going to the pet store we went there to look and get some soft treats for her to train with, because it takes her too long to eat hard treats. We discovered that pet store prices on things could be quite expensive.  We absolutely love her,  Molly, Michael, Francine, and Dan
* These two puppies are sisters and even though they are not in the same home. They both have a treasure of love surrounding their lives. May you both receive many years of love and memories from you new additions. God Blessed you and thanks for keeping in touch.

"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.

We found your website in an advertisement in the local pennysaver. This was a very serious undertaking on our part and we where somewhat fearful of the whole concept of having a puppy, especially since neither of us had ever owned a dog. We also hoped we where not making a mistake on breed of the dog. Wanting to do the right thing, Dana signed us up for a puppy class. He has graduated from beginners and gone from intermediate to advance. Everyone who meets, Niko falls in love with him, people have commented on not likening little dogs; until they met him. He is not a yippy dog, loves children and is such a gentle creature. We take him just about everywhere with us.

The happiness he has brought into our home and lives is beyond our wildest expectations. It is increditable the love we have for him. Both of our families are also hopelessly in love with him. Niko brings a joy and lifts up our spirits of the elderly parents when we visit. You said he was a clown and he has lived up to it. Yesterday, he jumped into my sister’s pool by himself for the first time. We bought him a life vest and are planning on camping with him also. He was so easy to house train and lets us know when he wants to go out. He even loved pouncing in the snow this past winter.

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”

Thank you too, for all the love you give to my babies.

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.

      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. Our living room  is over flowing with doggie toys. Even, our groomer, just loves it when they visit, he wants one too.

"The twins are doing great.  They do everything together"

"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.

We're very happy we decided on two. They are great company for each other and fun to watch playing together.   

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"

 

   ~ 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.----- Original Message -----
