    Working with Sheena has been a wonderful experience from the initial contact through current day. My puppy is happy and healthy, has adjusted very well to the new environment. Sheena is very responsive to any questions, overall, just a great experience. Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a Shitzu, puppy.

    Ace is doing really good! He weighed 3.9 lbs at his last vet visit on Nov 2. He likes to sleep on the table where it's nice and cool between our 2 recliners. He loves chasing Pixie around the house and playing with her.

    Very positive experience. This lil guy is already so well integrated into our family. You can tell he has been loved on since he presented himself to the world. He is a ball of fun and loves to give kisses.

    We love having Luna part of our pack! It is clear to see that she was meant to be part of our family. We love her nighttime zoomies and her little attitude is so cute. We can tell that she was raised in such a loving home from the moment she was born. We are so happy that we found The Anderson Farms Kennel and would recommend them to everyone! Our lives were so boring before this little fuzz-ball joined!

    Sheena went above and beyond to ensure Grimm came home. I got a huge goodie bag for her. The meet up was timely and sweet. I’ve never had an experience as the one I had with The Anderson farm!! She kept me updated since day one of finding her. You can really tell she cares about each and every puppy she has. If your looking for a shih tzu from a top tier breeder definitely go with Sheena’s shih tzus!
