    A+++++ exam today. Dr. Was amazed at how good Dobie was. She said he was very well trained for his age. She was amazed at how adjusted he was to us for only being with us for a short time. I shared he was our emotional support pup and she said it made sense because he immediately was looking at my daughter who was a little worried about Dobie and his visit. She doesn't really like Dr visits and wanted to make sure Dobie was going to be ok. Dr said it's amazing at how pets can sense changes in their owners. She said she was trying hard not to get emotional with Dobie and what he does for our family. He got praises on his silky soft coat and good behavior and his previous owner ,"Mr. Craig ," also got praises for outstanding training and raising a well-behaved pup for his age!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! I definitely recommend considering getting your puppies from him. Our Dobie is our families working pup and an important family member. He offers emotional support to our special needs children and helps keep them calm and happy, so they won't have to take medications!! We saw the change in behaviors the first day he came home. Thank you again Craig for all your hard work!

    We could not be happier with our little boy, Mr.Tiny Baby Andy Pants. He is such a gem! He has an incredible temperament, a loving personality, and an overall sweetness that we couldn’t have asked for anything more. From the moment we brought him home, it’s been nothing but pure joy. The level of professionalism and continued communication we received from Craig was by far exceptional from the start. Craig was incredibly helpful and responsive, making the entire process, smooth and keeping us informed every step of the way. Craigs commitment to the well-being of his puppies was clear, and it’s obvious that he genuinely cares about each one. His dedication to ensuring the puppies are healthy, socialized, and ready for their new homes, really stood out to us. We are absolutely thrilled with Andy pants, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a trustworthy breeder who values communication, professionalism, and whom is highly compassionate about this breed, we highly recommend Blue Moon Shih Tzu!

    I am absolutely thrilled with my new puppy and couldn't have asked for a better experience with the breeder Craig! My pup has an incredible temperament and is such a sweet boy. Working with Craig was amazing. You can tell he really cares for his pups. From the very beginning, I felt confident knowing I was purchasing from a reputable breeder who is not only incredibly kind and helpful but also very knowledgeable. He made the entire process seamless. Any time I had questions, he responded quickly and thoroughly. I also had a situation where I couldn’t pick up my pup for a while and Craig was very accommodating. He was gracious enough to take care of him and make sure his vaccinations were taken care of until I picked him up. My puppy was even potty trained by the time I brought him home, and the generous bag of supplies he provided was a thoughtful touch. Even after bringing my puppy home, Craig has continued to be quick to answer any questions and checks in to see how we are doing. Even when I was at the first vet appointment, I asked Craig some questions and was blown away at how quickly he responded which was so helpful. If you’re looking for a reliable breeder and adorable sweet shitzus, Craig is the one! I highly recommend him!

    Bringing a dog into our family was a long-held dreamβ€”one we didn’t take lightly. After months of research, heartfelt conversations, and careful planning, we decided to welcome a puppy into our lives, ultimately choosing the Shih Tzu breed for its temperament and charm. That’s when we found Craig. From the very beginning, Craig embodied everything we hoped for in a breeder: nurturing, responsible, and deeply committed to the well-being of his dogs. He provided detailed medical records, dietary guidance, favorite toys, and, most importantly, a puppy who had clearly been raised with love and intention. Our vet even commented that she could tell Teddy was handled extremely well as he is trusting and confident at the same time. She was surprised how easy he is to care for as a puppy and was in 100% good health with all required vaccines up to date. In addition - our Teddy Finn was near completely house trained when he finally came home to us!!!!! When meeting Craig to bring our little guy home, he placed Teddyβ€”our sweet Shih Tzuβ€”into our arms, the look on Craig’s face said it all: devotion, pride, and genuine care. It was clear our puppy had been cherished long before we met him. We are forever grateful and 100% strongly recommend anyone who is searching for their new family member to give Craig and New Moon Shih Tzu a serious look. Thank you again Craig❀️

    If you’re looking for a Shih Tzu breeder with heart, please look no further!! I had the sincere pleasure of working with Craig, a truly exceptional Shih Tzu breeder, while finding the perfect companion for my aunt, who is sight-impaired. Because my aunt is blind, there were a lot of things to consider, but my reservations were alleviated immediately once I found the Good Dog website. From the moment I reached out about Huck, Craig was incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions with patience and care. His extensive knowledge of the Shih Tzu breed was evident in every conversation, and I felt completely confident in his expertise. What stood out most was the love and attention Craig gives to his puppies. It’s clear that his home is a nurturing and safe environment, where each puppy is treated like family. His commitment to the well-being of his dogs was evident in the meticulous care he took to ensure that Huck would be placed in the right home, providing support and guidance throughout the entire process. Craig’s communication was flawless, and he made sure that both my aunt and I felt supported every step of the way. He was genuinely concerned about Huck’s transition to his new home and ensured we had all the resources we needed to make the experience as smooth as possible. If you’re looking for a breeder who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his puppies, I cannot recommend Craig enough. And if you don’t believe me, I am coming back to get another precious puppy from Craig next month for my mom!! πŸ˜ƒ Thank you, Craig, you are a wonderful person and we are so happy with Huck, he is the instant love of my aunt’s life and they both cannot be any happier than they are now!! πŸ˜ƒβ€οΈπŸΆ

    I was so impressed with Craig. He truly loves what he does. He stayed in touch with me and promptly aswered any questions I had. I couldn't be happier with the level of communication I received from him My little puppy, Mickey is a delight and I love him to death. He has such a cute personality and has seemlesssly become a part of the family. I credit Craig with the way he raised and socialized little Mickey the first few weeks of his life. He obviouly received a lot of love and affection. I would recommend Craig and New Moon Shih Tzu to anyone that would like to get a well bred well adjusted ShihTzu.
