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)

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.

Anna was a pleasure to work with and would send us videos of our puppy as he was growing and getting ready to come home with us. On the day we picked him up Anna showed us the other dogs and puppies that was in the kennel and was very friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure we understood everything that she was telling us about the care of our puppy. She gave us the records of our puppy shots, which was very helpful to our veterinarian. Thank you, Anna.
