Jessica was so easy to work with. She answered all my questions and I loved being able to see the home setting, litter and parents. Jessica picks parents carefully and runs test to see their overall health. When getting a new puppy it’s important to know breeder cared about health, temperament and quality. Jessica is an expert with the Shih Tzu breed. You can see she genuinely cares for her pups. Jessica gave me a’lot tips on keeping my Lexi (Willow) healthy. Loved how detailed, organized and thoughtful Jessica is. Bought my girl home 5/18/25. Jessica provider everything I needed to initiate my girly at home. Food, litter, carrier blanket, toys and very detailed organized paperwork to take home. You won’t regret finding your furever family member with the help of Jessica. Lexi is very healthy, happy, playful and confident. Helps that Jessica socialized her pups: Lexi gets alone with my two others dogs. Loved that Jessica checks on us to see how Lexi and us are adjusting and doing. Give Jessica’s litter a chance you wont regret it I promise. !

Jessica was excellent to work with, and she is a highly-adept professional who clearly knows what she's doing. More than that, though, we absolutely love our dog. He is a star wherever we go, like a furry celebrity. Everyone comments about how absolutely good-looking he is, which I attribute to good breeding, and of course Jessica at Raincross.

Jessica is an amazing breeder who loves what she does. She is very responsive to question even after you pick up your fur baby. She extremely honest and knows a lot about the breed. I’m so lucky I found her.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Jessica and we are so happy with our new baby! Jessica was responsive and knowledgeable and even followed-up with us several times after getting our new puppy home. It is very apparent that she truly cares about the puppies, their health, and the future families they will be joining. What I really appreciated was the video chat we had prior to paying anything. This video chat allowed us to meet Jessica, ask many questions, see the puppies and their momma and daddy, and the puppies' living situation. As mentioned, Jessica is very responsive and did everything she said she was going to do. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a Shih Tzu puppy.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
