Walt's Shih Tzus (Linda) was an excellent choice for us. From day one to pick up date all my questions were answered and on time. The process was smooth, I know we made a great choice with Walt's Shih Zue (Linda). My pup Luna is sweet, sassy and intuitive. She loves to play, cuddle and sleep, she is the perfect blend of patience and playfulness . She adjusted well since day one, the transition to our home and routine has been seamless thanks to how well adjusted and socialized our pup Luna is. Luna have brings a lot of love and happiness to us every day. Our Vet said she was very impressed with my pup Luna health and could tell she had been well taken care of by her breeder. No doubt I will purchase from Walt's Shih Tzus again. I recommend Walt's Shih Tzus 100%. Thank You Linda!!!

I am so happy that I discovered this website and App. It made it so easy to search for my puppy. Linda always promptly answered my questioned and updated photos weekly. I appreciated the security of paying the deposit through this site and then the final payment. This process made it safe, secure, and easy. Once the exchange was made, she gave clear instructions about the food, water, and vet. I will definitely recommend this site and Linda to anyone looking for a Shih Tzu. We are so happy with our fur baby.

+4Linda T was very responsive and made the process extremely smooth. This was my first time getting a dog and she facilitated the whole process, from first message to pickup it could not have gone any better. My little guy has been nothing but a bundle of energy and joy. He past his vet checkups with flying colors and could not have asked for a sweeter pup. Would highly recommend Linda!

Working with Linda was wonderful! I was a little hesitant purchasing our Shih Tzus online because I’d never heard of Good Dog. But I’m thankful we found a site and breeder we could trust. Linda was very informative and kept us updated until we could bring our babies home. I loved seeing the new photos each week as we watched them grow. Now our babies are settling into their new home and we couldn’t be happier.
