This is a 4-month update of having our pup in our lives. He’s from Tootsie x Indie and has a great, quiet temperament. Karen, the breeder, was quite right about his demeanor— he is independent! He’s a very laid back pup that comes for cuddles when he wants them and is fine to chew on his toy on the other side of the room on his own on most days. His beautiful, soft red shaded coat is something that gets a lot of compliments and is really gorgeous to us.
We’re really grateful for our little guy — he’s now a part of the family!
Thanks, Karen!

TKO Doxies was great to work with. Karen answered all our questions ensuring a smooth transition for our new pup, including when to schedule his next vet visit and his AKC paperwork. The care package of treats, his favorite toy, and a blanket was such a sweet touch.
Tamao, our Shiba Inu puppy, is enjoying his new home with us. He enjoys socializing with others at puppy class. He loves to greet us in the mornings and is such a sweet lovable member of our family. Thank you Karen!

Karen was a pleasure to work with and is very knowledgeable. She takes great care of her pups, 🐶 and when I had a question she responded right away. Our little Ruby Brindle pup is by far the most calm and funny puppy we ever had! Thanks again!!
