    I’m so glad we found Good Dog and Courtney from Pretty Paws Shih Tzu. We have had two Shih Tzus in the past and were ready to welcome a new family member. I really liked Courtney’s profile and reached out about Robin (now Pippin). She set up a video call so we could meet her, Pippin and see her nursery and home environment. We knew immediately that she really cared for her puppies and dogs and had a great system to socialize the dogs and ensure they were ready for their new homes. She was proactive with information, very responsive and easy to reach. She provided a wonderful welcome home kit and provided us information on additional items to get to make transition at home easier. She also checked in on progress at home and gave us great information and advice to make sure Pippin does well.

    The first thing we noticed was that Courtney has one of the best design on Good Dog. My wife and I have been searching for a shih tzu for more than 4 months until we saw Barry raised by Courtney. Courtney was very responsive in responding to our questions. After we decided to acquire Barry, Courtney was kind enough provide transportation from Houston to Seattle. This eliminated some headaches and problems for me. My family is very happy to see Barry. He is adorable and will be a valuable member in our family. Once again, thank you Courtney for adding more happiness to our family.
