    Craig was very helpful and concerned about his puppy's future home that he interviewed me before agreeing to have Roger join our home and I'm a physician more familiar with interviewing others! The process was seamless and reassuring because of how much care and affection he had for his puppies. Every detail was covered, Roger's records were complete. And Roger became our dearest family pet. Craig asks for updates on Roger regularly. I would definitely recommend him and am looking forward to have another Shih Tzu from him one day.

    Craig is wonderful!! I had bought apup prior to meeting Craig. Unfortunately, she was a very sick!! puppy and I paid $8000 for her so it was very hard for me to trust another breeder so Craig listened to me and we picked the perfect baby!!! . He knew a lot about the shihtzu . And gave out a wonderful gift for the new mom and a wonderful toys for the baby to have and blankets. He rode with her on the plane and met me at the airport what a kind young man. Iโ€™ve had her a few days and she is very healthy. Very happy. And gorgeous I couldnโ€™t be more proud of a breeder than I am Craig. If I ever buy again I will definitely go to Craig!!!Thank u for your loving and kindness u showed me !!!

    We recently brought home Oliver from Craig at New Moon Shih Tzu, and we couldn't be happier. We have an older Shih Tzu, Ginger, who had a traumatic experience with another dog as a puppy, so it was really important to us to find a puppy with a calm, gentle temperament. I could tell Craig was experienced and involved as a breeder. He has a hands-on approach and really knowsโ€”and lovesโ€”his puppies. He shared so much about Oliverโ€™s personality and temperamentโ€”I knew he would be a perfect fit for our home. He also sent regular photos and videos during the waiting period, which gave me so much confidence in my choice. The difference in quality and socialization is clearโ€”Oliver is sweet, well-adjusted, and has been so respectful of Gingerโ€™s space. If you want a breeder who is transparent, communicative, and truly understands the dogs he raises, Craig is the one!

    I canโ€™t even begin to describe how amazing Craig has been to work with over the last few weeks. I recently lost my beloved Shih-Tzu and wanted to get another. The first thing that struck me was how beautiful Craigs pups are they stood out to me from the rest. Craig is very kind, responsive and passionate about what he does. He has remained in communication with me the past two weeks offering suggestions and support which has made all the difference. He even flew to Oregon to deliver Teddybear himself. Craig really cares about his dogs and his clients. I highly recommend him as a quality breeder and person! I would not hesitate to purchase another puppy from him. Nikki

    We are so grateful to have found Craig through Good Dog. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love, care, and dedication he puts into raising his puppies. Craig is truly one of the kindest souls, and I genuinely believe thatโ€™s why we found the kindest little fur friend in Fidel. What stood out most was how much he cared about making sure his puppies went to loving, well-matched homes. You can tell this is so much more than just breeding to him โ€” he truly cares about every puppy and every family. Fidel came to us already doing so well with pee pad training and was incredibly well-behaved for such a young puppy. The amount of time, patience, and attention Craig puts into his puppies really shows. We love Fidel more than words can say, and he has already brought so much happiness into our lives. We will always be incredibly thankful to Craig for bringing him into our family. I cannot recommend him enough๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’™

    I was nervous when I first set out on the adventure to get a new puppy. My experience with Craig assured me that there was no reason to be. From excellent communication to the love and socialization he clearly gives his puppies, this experience was completely worth it. My little girl is highly intelligent. She is also my very best friend!
