    We could not have had a better experience with Cris. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, kind, and generous with his time. He answered every question we had, shared so much helpful information and advice, and made the entire process of bringing Azzi home easy and enjoyable. We found Azzi at somewhat crazy timing—we were literally on the first day of a vacation and wouldn’t be home for more than a week. Cris was wonderful about working with us and holding her until we returned. He also arranged to deliver her to us for a very reasonable fee, which made an already exciting day that much easier. Most importantly, it was immediately obvious when we met Azzi that she had been incredibly well cared for and loved. She is happy, affectionate, confident, and absolutely wonderful. Cris clearly cares deeply about his dogs and about the families they go home with, and that came through in every interaction we had with him. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Cris—and, of course, our perfect little Azzi. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a Shih Tzu.

    We had a wonderful experience with Chris from the first interaction. He was quick to reply to all questions and even took the puppy to my home for us to meet him. We are so thrilled with our new puppy Frankie, he is so sweet and lovable and so smart! Chris took the time to explain everything we needed to do to for our Frankie to make sure he adjusted right in. His first night in our home was just a pleasure and we love him already!

    Cris is beyond professional and before I asked any questions he already had explained and answered everything for us. We are truly impressed with the care and how he prepared us with everything we needed. We are so in love with this little angel. Its a perfect match to our family. Its obvious she has received a truly exceptional upbringing so far and she displays a very well adjusted and confident,yet gentle and loving demeaner.

    When we were looking for a local Shih Tsu breeder we were so lucky to find Cris! He was very responsive to questions and was willing to work with us around our schedule for picking up the pups! He even brought them to us! Cris provided us with tons of information at drop off and made sure that they were all settled. He even made sure to check in the next few days to make sure everything was going ok. He made himself available for consult if we ever need it. The puppies are very well socialized and have settled well into our home. We highly recommend Cris for anyone looking to adopt a Shih Tsu.
