Shirle is a remarkable breeder of Guardian’s of the Chihuahuas! She is very knowledgeable about the Chihuahua breed and answered any questions that I had. Shirle’s care and love for her puppies is heartwarming. I knew in my heart that I was getting a good dog from her! She shared pictures and videos during the adoption process. I would recommend Shirle to anyone interested in a chihuahua. Shirle you made me so very happy when Mazy became my forever companion! And a shout out to Good Dog - I have so much gratitude for all that you do!
