    Gracie is a dream! She is very intelligent and every bit of a Shih Tzu. D & D Kennels were easy to work with, and they sent photos and videos of Gracie when requested. They also went the "extra mile" when delivering her, making the process easy and feasible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a purebred, well-bred, puppy.
