As a loving mother and Disney enthusiast, I bring magic and care to Our Shih Tzu Family, ensuring each pup brings joy to their new homes, just as mine have done for me.

    Evelyn was so sweet and responsive from the very beginning. She answered all our questions and sent pictures and videos all the time. We trusted her from the start and knew our little Cooper was being so well taken care of until we took him home!

    Evelyn is an amazing breeder and person who truly loves all of her puppies! She was responsive throughout the entire process and sent regular pupdates, photos and videos so we could see our puppy growing. She always answered all of our questions (and still does), and we are so thankful that we found her on Good Dog. Our puppy is so happy, healthy and well-adjusted and has the sweetest disposition. We love him so much. Evelyn took incredible care of him and his littermates, and we appreciate her so much. Thank you, Evelyn!

    It was such a happy coincidence that we had been wanting a Shih Tzu puppy that our daughter had her heart set on naming Biscuit when I checked out Good Dog and came across Evelyn’s pups and found one she had already named Biscuit!! Evelyn was very personable, responsive and provided regular updates and pics throughout the whole process. She was flexible with picking a meeting spot for our Gotcha Day, and she even gave us a bag of pup goodies & supplies to take home with a little blanket that he still sleeps with every night 😊. Evelyn made the puppy searching process so easy and stress free. And we couldn’t be happier with our fur baby, Biscuit, who has filled our home with even more fun and love!

    Evelyn was great! Super resourceful and always responding. I loved her pupdates while I was on my way back from deployment. I absolutely love my little shih tzu and I’m forever thankful I found the perfect little guy.

    It took a quick minute for our 2 year old Furbaby to come around but they became fast friends. I don’t know how we survived without Rocky in our lives. Thank you for being so attentive and helpful through the entire process.
