Margorie was great throughout the entire process and after we brought Jake home. We were worried as we live in a Condo. Margorie helped with making informed and realistic decisions and expectations. We are very pleased and would highly recommend Margorie.

Margorie was wonderful to work with before and when we met. She even met us to make our travel shorter. She had lots of information about the puppy and its parents. She had all the paperwork and more, plus food and toys for our little guy. She made everything so easy.

Sugar Paws heavenly Shih Tzu's was fantastic to work with. Magorie was so great about keeping me up to date with Spanky's progress and sent him home with a great starter package! Spanky aced his first vet checkup and has been thriving from day one. He has a wonderful happy personality and has quickly become one of the family. Today is his birthday- he is 12 weeks old!!

I don't know how this women keeps things straight. Upon visiting her house to pick up Sammy and Ian yesterday, we were greeted by a multitude of dogs, and she knew each one's names and history. Our heads were swimming. She is definitely passionate about raising her dogs. I'm a little old, but if i outlived the pups, I would indeed work with her again!

Best breeder ever award! Margie is incredible with her dogs. She goes the extra mile and our experience with Bruno has been so smooth. Her pups receive lots of love and training at an early age. We could not be happier❤️Already trying to decide when we will add another. We wholeheartedly recommend Sugar Paws Heavenly Shih Tzus .
