We picked up our puppy “boy 2” on April 30th. Riley has been a great addition to the family. He’s funk of spunk and so happy. The way Linda and Walt care for the puppies show with how easy he adjusted. Linda was very prompt to answer any and all questions. Very very pleased. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a shih tzu

I highly recommend using Walt’s Shih Tzus. The whole process was easy and they sent me pictures every week of my puppy. I couldn’t be more pleased with our new little edition. I would use them again if ever in need of another Shih Tzus! Paula Richards

“More than perfect “ So Linda was great to work with and going through gooddog made me feel at at ease making my payments because I knew it was secure and legit. she was very helpful. Also when I asked questions and worked with us great on picking up our new baby Chloe.. definitely recommend this breeder. Chloe is more than perfect. She was potty trained to a puppy pad when we picked her up at eight weeks old she learned her name within 48 hours such a smart little girl. you can tell the breeder took time with the puppies. 100%
