Absolutely the best experience from our first conversation through the delivery of my new fur baby. The selection of puppies, Anna's professionalism, knowledge, compassion and the fact that she goes out of her way to make sure you are completely satisfied with your new puppy. Answered and responded to each question I had for her. Her facility is pristine, care of her puppies is above reproach. Selection of puppies is great. My new baby arrived in perfect health. A fiesty little Shit-Tzu that stole my heart the moment I saw her. Thank you Anna for everything. You took so much extra care and time to address all my questions. I am so in love with my little Riley. If you are looking for a new addition to your family, please check Anna's puppies out. You won't be satisfied anywhere else like you will be here.

Anna was wonderful to work with, kept me informed on picture days and vet visits and any general question I had before bringing my puppy home.
My puppy is the sweetest guy and the wiliest monster I've ever met, I'm afraid im horribly in love with this puppy!

Anna was very responsive throughout the process. Anna took extra care in explaining everything at pickup including how she had been feeding my puppy and the veterinary care received and things to look for and ensuring I understood next steps to discuss with my veterinarian. I would highly recommend Anna for your new puppy.

I'd like to take the time to express what a wonderful time I had working with Anna on getting my Shih-tzu puppy named Emmy Jo.
From the very first day Anna and myself were emailing back and forth, and she was answering all my questions I had right away. Making my decision very easy to go forward with her.She would update me and send video weekly.
I couldn't wait to see my Emmy Jo. I have a healthy, playful,full of energy puppy...and I owe everything to Anna for being such an Amazing Breeder. I beyond highly recommend her if you are looking to for a new puppy.
I also want to give a shout-out to Anna's Delivery husband/wife team Tom and Paula. Super Sweet People as well.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart 💜

Anna was great to work with! She sent videos and pictures of our little one every week until time for him to go home. She was very knowledgeable about the breed and was able to answer any questions we had. We brought home a very happy, healthy little boy (Barron)
