Sharon was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and sent me pictures and videos. When we met her to pick up our sweet Mabel. I felt like I was meeting a friend. Mabel is the perfect puppy. So beautiful 🩷

First of all, Sharon was awesome to deal with, we told her what we was looking for, an no time at all we had a face to face set up to see what male Shih-tzu puppies she had.The second .ale puppy she showed us was the one we now call Dodger, he's a Tri-color male, we couldn't wait to get him. She stayed in touch, an each time I'd email her about Dodger she answered back in a very short time an with video, an pictures of Dodger. We couldn't be happier with Dodger, he's very smart for so young, an knows his name, an he knows our voices when we call him.....This is more of a therapy dog for my brother, but also a loving per for both of us...We knew how Shih-tzu are we've had one before, an he broke our hearts when he passed away, so we knew exactly what kind of puppy we was looking for....So vey happy to have found Sharon!!!!....Thanks Sharon!!

Our experience with Sharon was fantastic! She was very responsive and helpful with answering any questions and sharing updates about our future pup. She was super flexible with pick up options when it came time to bring our little guy home! Our puppy was super well socialized and has adapted amazingly well to our home, family, and other dog. Highly recommend Dainty and Darling Shih Tzu!

Sharon made my puppy adoption process easy and enjoyable. She promptly responded to my emails and sent pictures and videos of my little one. She even delivered my puppy to me. I can tell she really cares about her puppies. He was even pad potty trained. My puppy is a very happy and playful pup.
