    When we were searching for our new puppy, we checked out a lot of websites and breeders. Cynthia is one of a kind. She cares for her dogs like family. Cynthia helped us feel informed and supported through the whole process. When we were matched with our precious puppy, she sent us photos every week and kept us informed of her fun activities. We were so lucky to work with Cynthia. We didn’t mind driving 5 hours to pick up our precious Puff. We are so happy!

    We couldn't be happier with our little guy. He is very well adjusted to family life and has adapted extremely fast to our pace of things. You can tell Cynthia's pups get tons of love and are looked after in the best way possible. They are all full of affection and ready to play. We absolutely could not be happier than we are with our new family member.

    I would definitely recommend Cynthia at Sissy's Heavenly Paws if your looking for the sweetest, loving and well cared for Bichon Frise puppy. She really cares about raising the best puppies. From the moment I inquired about Pink Girl now Maggie Mae; Cynthia kept me informed of her puppy journey with pictures and videos as she grew into a precious little girl. She also responded to any and all inquiries that I had to prepare us for bringing Maggie home. When we arrived at Cynthia's home we were met with the wonderful sounds of happy, well cared for dogs and puppies. She has a grooming area in her home to maintain the beautiful appearance of her dogs. Before we departed she provided us a goody bag that had all the necessary items to bring our precious baby on a long 3 day journey home. Maggie loves the blanket and toys that has the scent of her family, it made her transition easier. We also received her veterinarian report and her microchip information. Maggie is an exceptional traveler, she slept most of the time and when she wasn't sleeping was giving kisses and snuggles. Again, I would definitely recommend Cynthia for a Bichon Frise adoption.

    I can’t say enough positive things about Cynthia and Sissy’s Heavenly Paws. I was gutted after my soul dog Brooklyn died two months ago and vacillated between wanting another bichon right away to “I’m not ready”. To further complicate things, I have a 15 year old shi-chon (Ben Ben) who was very bonded to Brooklyn. I flew to Dallas after putting down a deposit on “pink girl” and Cynthia and Richard met me near the airport with puppies in tow. On the trip home, I had concerns that my heart wasn’t ready. They understood and Pink Girl went to another home. A couple more weeks of vacillating and I had interest in gorgeous sweet Magenta and felt I could do this but wanted my Ben Ben to approve. I have a hectic work schedule and Cynthia held both Magenta and another puppy for me for two weeks until I could drive to Dallas from Denver with Ben Ben. He was going to be my deciding factor. Cynthia and Richard allowed me to visit the puppies, talk to their vet directly and change my pick multiple times—even almost backing out. During that visit, Ben Ben interacted with four puppies—two of which Cynthia pulled off the market for me and two that Ben seemed to tolerate more. Benny and I ended up choosing Bella and we couldn’t be happier. They are slowly getting used to each other and while one dog can never replace the one you’ve lost—my heart has expanded for Bella. We have only been together a few days but she potties outside, walks on a leash with us and sleeps through the night. I’ve had three Bichons in my lifetime and Bella is by far the easiest to train. I so wish Ben would have chosen Magenta (who I had on hold) and I do hope she finds her forever home soon. If I could have 3 puppies, I would as she is so incredibly sweet—much like Brooklyn and Bella. All of Cynthia’s puppies have amazing bright individual personalities and you couldn’t ask for a better adoption experience. We left Cynthia’s with a bag of food, treats, pee pads and toys and they came in handy for the long ride home. I happily recommend a bichon from Sissy’s Heavenly Paws and if you live in Colorado, I would love to arrange playtimes for our puppies. Xo

    We are so in love with our sweet puppy from Sissy's Heavenly Paws. They were so amazing at staying in touch, giving us updates and being so flexible with us. This experience was great from start to finish. I was so thankful for them picking me up from the airport and having lunch together. I could tell how much they loved their dogs and how special each puppy is to them. Now that we are home, our little pup is well adjusted, happy and loving life. I would highly recommend this family to anyone looking for a new addition to their family.

    "I had an exceptional experience with Cynthia! From the moment I inquired about the puppy, her communication was outstanding. Cynthia promptly responded to all my questions, providing detailed information and ensuring I felt confident. Cynthia's dedication to keeping me informed about the puppy's progress set her apart. She shared regular updates, including photos and details about day-to-day activities, which made me feel connected even before bringing the puppy home. Cynthia's professionalism, care for her dogs, and attention to detail were evident throughout. It’s clear she prioritizes the well-being of their puppies and strives to match them with loving homes. I couldn’t be happier with Milo my new family member and highly recommend Cynthia from Sissy's Heavenly Paws to anyone looking for a reputable breeder!"
