    Keesha provides a wonderful home for the puppies to be raised in, that’s when I first got to meet Max and his siblings and play with him a bit. The puppies were running between the living room and the backyard playing with leaves, all looked so happy and healthy. Mommy dog was there as well. When Max (formerly Champ) was brought to me- he was already crate trained and somewhat potty trained at 10 weeks ! He’s a great dog, I couldn’t be happier 😊

    Keesha stayed in touch and gave regular updates. Along with video interactions with Ginger’s siblings and mom and dad. They meet us halfway when we went to pick Ginger up, since we were coming from Ohio. I really appreciated that. Ginger is doing well with the transition to our home.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Keesha. From the very beginning she was responsive and helped me make the best choice to fit one of her babies into my family. She was so accommodating and made the pick up as easy as possible. We are in love with our boy (Charlie) and we are so happy we went with her to find our new baby!

    Keesha was very responsive to all of my inquiries. The process of pick up and payment through good dog is seamless. I made a decision on one of her pups within a few days and picked him up at their home on August 3. I was able to meet mom and dad and Tyler, now known as Finn, was active, healthy and a lovable little boy. We came home with a bag of goodies and a couple toys that smelled like his litter mates. We made our way home to Louisville that afternoon, and he has been a joyful addition to our family!

    This was our second pup (Theo) from Keesha and Cutie Pie Shih Tzus. In both cases, Keesha was responsive to all questions we had. Since we were not able to see the him in person, Keesha took pictures and videos for us. She shared all medical information, vet records and his likes and dislikes. It was clear that Theo was socialized and he fit into our family with no issues. If you are considering a Shih Tzu, I would highly recommend Cutie Pie Shih Tzus.

    Keesha with Cutie Pie Shih Tzus was great to work with when picking a breeder. We wanted a puppy, so I went to Good Dog to find our fur baby. Keesha was so knowledgeable about the shih tzu breed. Once we selected our baby, we got pictures and lots of information every week about our pup. She told us about the markings and coloring of each dog. She included information on and viewing of the parents too. She gave us a nice goody bag when we picked up our puppy. Everything you need to get started to bring our baby home. We were extremely satisfied with the entire process. We have a beautiful dog with the sweetest disposition!
