We got our newest puppy addition a little over a week ago and she has been amazing! She was so well-tempered and is the most loving, cuddly pup, but certainly has a playful side. She gets along so well with our older dog and loves my 4 and 7 year old kids! She was clearly well taken care of by Cris and came from a happy, healthy home.
Cris was extremely responsive and delivered our little Lucy to us two days after I reached out to him. He answered any and all questions I asked, even after we got Lucy. He was so informative and gave me all of the paperwork, some food, and a bunch of other things to help us with Lucy and her care. I took her to the vet the other day and they said she looked beautiful and we're so impressed with her demeanor. We would absolutely go to Cris again for any future furry additions we are looking to add!

Cris from Shi Tzu Pups was great! He was very helpful and knowledgeable and provided everything we needed to get our new puppy all settled in. The process was very easy and he was quick to respond once we initially reached out. The puppy is absolutely adorable and is already bringing smiles to our entire family. We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you, Cris!

Everything about this experience was wonderful, from the communication in the beginning, to meeting and exchanging my new little girl, and taking her home to see how happy and healthy and well socialized and trained she already was. I highly recommend Shih Tzu Pups!!!

This was a very easy purchase. We kept in touch via text messaging prior to the delivery, and everything went well. The delivery was good, and he gave us all the information needed for care and future contact.
Molly arrived clean, healthy, and when she came home with us, was using the papers within a day. What a happy, healthy addition to the household !
