    From the very beginning, it was clear that this breeder is not only responsible but also deeply passionate about her dogs. She goes above and beyond to ensure her puppies are placed in loving homes, taking great care in where they go and how they get there. Her dedication to ethical breeding practices, including prioritizing good temperament and health, truly sets her apart. She was incredibly flexible with the pickup process, working around my schedule to make everything as convenient as possible. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to accommodate me made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. It was evident that she truly cared, not just about the puppies but also about the families they were joining. What truly touched my heart was how, as soon as I purchased my little girl, she started calling her by her name. It was such a sweet and personal touch that showed how much love and attention she gives to each puppy. She even went above and beyond by vaccinating her a second time, not because it was required, but because she treats these pups like her own. We had quite a long ride to pick up our little girl, and the breeder made sure to check in, asking us to text when we arrived home safely. Since then, she has continued to check in with us multiple times to see how our puppy is doing. Her dedication doesn’t stop at the sale—she truly cares about these dogs even after they’ve gone to their forever homes. Our little girl has adapted extremely well to our home and her brothers, which speaks volumes about the love, care, and socialization she received before coming to us. She is confident, affectionate, and a perfect addition to our family. This is my sixth Shih Tzu, and without a doubt, this has been the best experience I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a responsible, ethical, and caring breeder who puts her dogs first, look no further. I am beyond grateful for my beautiful new companion and the outstanding experience I had. Highly recommend!

    I wasn't sure about this when I started this process. With all the on line scams going around today. I took the chance and got connected with Amanda from Little Mil's Shih Tzus and it was clear from the start that she truly cared mainly about her puppy but also my experience. She calmed any fear I had in the beginning by keeping me informed, answering any questions I had, and more importantly doing everything that she said she would do in the timely manner that she gave me. We picked up our little Hank at her house which was clean and well kept with a designated area for the puppys. Obviously well cared for. We have had our little Hank for almost two weeks now and we could not be happier. Amanda has stayed in touch to see how he is doing with the transition which tell me that she truly does care for the little pups. Gary and Denise R.
