    Vivian was very compassionate with me throughout the whole process of adopting Chopper. It took a lot of courage for me to decide to adopt another puppy since my last dog passed away 12 years ago. She answered all my questions about Choppers parents and was very patient with me. She was quick to respond if I had any concerns. Vivian gave me updates with pictures and videos. Vivian is very passionate about what she does. She is very knowledgeable and dedicated to this breed. Chopper is so sweet and very smart. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in Mal-shis. Vivian is wonderful at what she does.
