Spongebob
Today as i write this our sweet Spongey is laying at my feet in his new bed Santa brought him chewing on a bone. I can not express how much love and happiness he has brought to our home. From the moment we wake up he is smiling and wagging his tail, wanting to be snuggled and played with.
My kids have both bonded with him extremely well. My 3 year old and him have the strongest connection. They are always together, snuggling, playing, laughing and more. He has completed my heart. After losing our 7 year old Shih-tzu in May 2012, i have felt so empty. He has refilled that hole with so much more, he is my baby. He sleeps at my side every night and lays on my lap at every chance he can, he comes with me everywhere, he loves his mamma.
Not only has he brightened the lives of my family of 4, it has went beyond that. His aunty is his biggest fan and grandma and grandpa cannot get over how good of a dog he is. He is so gentle with all four grandkids and listens with such pride. He was potty trained within a few months (although in this canadian winter he has snuck to the basement a few times to try and escape the cold and had a few accidents).
I would like to thank you for this precious gift:) Thank you for the amazing communication and for doing everything you could to get Spongebob to me, for the numerous updates on him before i picked him up and for answering all my emails and questions. Thank you for setting him up with us, he is perfect, and we could not be more complete. We would recommend Kim and Danielle to absolutely everyone. These ladies are amazing and run a wonderful business.
All the best,

I spent months researching Shih-Tzu puppies for sale hoping to find one close to home. I kept coming back to your website. It was the most professional, informative, and exciting one out there. I love the way you keep it so updated. Finally reached out to you and felt very comfortable I could trust you once I talked to you. This was a big decision for us to actually buy a puppy from half away across the U.S. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made. Charly (we changed her name from Pebbles) is just incredible. She is small and perfect just like promised, however what is unexpected is what an incredible personality she has. Very warm and loving. She is so smart and happy. Brad flew to Denver to pick her up and all went so smooth. The next Monday we took her to the vet and was told she is perfect and we got a winner! Really appreciate the time you took to help us choose the right one. It is very apparent you and Danielle put lots of effort and time into these puppies. Charly has settled into our home very well and will add so much to our lives. I have a feeling we will do this again with you. Find her below next to our 9 lb. little boy BJ to see her size along with her in her Daddy's arms.
All our thanks, Brad and Teri Miller - Murrieta, CA

First of all I have to say thank you to both you and Danielle for such a perfect puppy. After looking high and low for a breeder in California I am so glad I did my research and made the extra effort to find you. I think I looked at every website that had Imperial Shih-Tzus but I just kept coming back to yours and I am so glad I did. Not only was Tinkerbelle worth the wait but she was also worth the flight to come get her. She really is the perfect little package and as you can see from her photos she has turned out quite breath taking. I can't tell you how many stories I have heard here in Beverly Hills about breeders that others have adopted from promised them "tiny" puppies but ended up with something totally different. At just about 8 months old she is just a little over 3.5 lbs (3lbs 10oz to be exact) and her vet doesn't seem to think that she is going to get much bigger. But aside from her stunning good looks she has personality plus and is just as smart as can be. Her trainer says that I more than hit the jackpot with her. Tinkerbelle is getting ready to take her Canine Good Citizen Test. All I can say that it is a Tinkerbelle world and I am just lucky enough to live in it.
I am have a feeling you may be hearing from me soon that I need to have another one...
Thanks,
Susan & Tinkerbelle

For one year I researched Shih-Tzu breeders from all over the country and decided Tiny Tot Shih-Tzu aka: Itsy Bitsy Shih-Tzu was by far the best breeder that I could find. Kim and Danielle are very professional in every way. They have a vast knowledge about this breed and quickly answer e-mails, phone calls, and sent pictures of the dogs. Kim sent me pictures of Angel and I felt like I knew her before I got her. It was love at first sight. Angel is a perfect little bundle of joy. Kim and Danielle gave her the right name. She is calm, sweet, smart, and has a playful personality. She is so loved and adored. The adoption process was very easy. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family. Kim and Danielle know, we puppy parents-to-be get anxious, so thank you for answering all of my questions.
My Veterinarian absolutely loves Angel! He said she was perfect!!

Danielle,
Just wanted to share a Geno (Gucci) update with you. We received Geno in August 2009 and it has been a nonstop joy. All his vet checks have been great, the vet assistant tries to steal him every time we come in. You wrote in his bio that he liked to sleep on his back, well guess what he still does but now expects his belly rubbed prior to dozing off. He is such a smart dog, he was house and kennel trained by October. Maybe it’s the beef stick treats he gets when he knows he has done well. Geno has also become quite the car companion. When we ask him if he wants to go bye- bye and he beats us to the door, he sits there waiting for you and will bark if you are not getting to the door fast enough. He loves to ride and hang out the window looking at all the people.
Hoover (Sammy) is also doing well and living with our son. He loves to cuddle and just be with people. Both boys seem to remember being babies together as they fall right back into being “boys” each time they are together, sometimes even sharing the same bed. Thanks for breeding such great dogs.
