From the moment we discovered David and Dee’s page and began researching puppy breeders, Dee immediately stood out. She took the time to jump on a call with us, thoughtfully answering all of our questions. We spoke with several breeders during our search, but after talking with Dee, the decision was easy. It was clear that breeding is a true passion for her and not simply a business, which made all the difference.
Once we placed our deposit, Dee kept us consistently informed every step of the way—sharing updates on Lilly, the mom, as she prepared for her litter, letting us know when she was on watch, and then providing regular updates once the puppies arrived. We received photos and videos, were able to choose our puppy, and continued to get frequent updates right up until pickup at around 8–9 weeks.
Throughout the entire process, Dee was incredibly responsive. Anytime we had a question in the two months leading up to bringing our puppy home, she replied almost immediately, which gave us such peace of mind. She also provided helpful guidance on how to prepare our home for our puppy’s arrival and even sent us home with a thoughtful care package to ensure a smooth transition.
We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Dee and David and highly recommend them to anyone considering this breed. We previously had a Shih Tzu mix for 14 years, so we already knew and loved the breed. Our new addition to the family, Vinny, is the cutest little loveable guy, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.

We really enjoyed working with David/Dee. They are so knowledgeable and professional yet at the same time so patient and caring with respect to their puppies. We wanted to add a Shih Poo sibling for our dog Birdie and we were immediately taken by the gorgeous puppies bred by David/Dee. We immediately fell in love with Theodore (Bear) and Dee reached out with a personal touch to ensure us that we were the right home for him. We’ve had him a week and could not be happier with the handsome fella. I would absolutely recommend David/Dee to anyone considering a Shih Poo puppy.

We had a really amazing experience with Lilli’s. You can tell these puppies were loved every step of the process! We got updates through the entire process, pics and videos. They have been available even since Millie has come home as we have questions (sleep training anyone???) overall, couldn’t be happier. Millie is an amazing addition to our home.

After my last dog died, I was very nervous about finding a new breeder. I didn’t want a puppy mill dog. By chance, I found Good Dog which I think is a great resource. From there, I based my breeder decision on distance. I was extremely fortunate to find David/Dee. My first conversation with Dee made me feel immediately that I had made a good connection. In addition to telling me about her, she wanted me to tell her about us. From this conversation, I realized how much Dee truly loves her pets and their offspring. Dee kept me well-informed during the whole process, frequently sending me pictures and videos. She has a Facebook page where she posts updates. A couple of my friends joined me in becoming part of this group. From this site, it was easy to see how the pups are cared for. Everything about the puppies’ care is top notch! We’re very happy with our Pookie:)

Dee was wonderful from our initial telephone chat. Provided me with info on her, her family and of course, the puppies. Excellent communications, updates on the litter and my puppy. Also, followed up after I picked up puppy and offered advice and reassurances. So extremely pleased and happy with the process, Dee and of course my little "fur baby"!!!
