Tena was great. We lost a Shih-tzu and I wanted my wife to have a l"ittle baby" again. We fell in love with our "Raya" (we changed her name) - Hebrew for "friend" and "beloved woman". Tena got back to me very quickly, "Facetimed" and she let me see her running around. It was such an easy transaction, and I have Raya now. Tena got her to me just as quickly, had everything in order, even pee pads! This is a HAPPY dog. Obviously she had a lotta love before! If you are looking for a bundle of fur, from a breeder that cares, I wouldn't even hesitate to get one from her! Tim and Kay Davis
