Thought I'd send you a picture Of OSO (Donner) as he just turned 4 years
old on Oct 20th. He's doing good and has such a wonderful personality that's
only gotten better over the years. As you might remember he's on a fresh food
diet. He loves all fresh foods. His favorites right now being broccoli, beef,
and lima beans, but he eats it all. Cooked of coarse. He just had his checkup
and he's doing great except for his allergies. He is now taking a prescription
drug for them until everything dies off this winter. He still weighs 18 pounds
and it looks like that's where he's going to stay. His vet say's it's ok for him
because he's in very good shape. I do have to tell you he would have made a
wonderful dog for anyone that was hearing impaired. He know's the sounds of all
the timers, bells and phones in the house and comes to make sure your going to
take care of whatever it is. My husband will tell him go get Mama thru the
screen door if it's locked and he'll come bark at me and then push me down the
hall by jumping on the back of my legs till I do what he wants. It's pretty
funny to watch. Anyway thought you might like to see what he looks like now.
Take care. Diane 10/26/11
Hey Tammy,
Just wanted to say hi and
let you know your babies are just fantastic! They are amazing Tammy;
both of them are so happy and healthy and CRAZY smart!!!! I really think
having two is half the work of one. They are so easy and eager to learn
(and learn very fast and it is hysterical watching them play together!I
took them back for their grooming a couple weeks ago and when I picked
them up she told me she could tell they are from a good breeder. She is a
breeder also and shows dogs---corgis I think. Anyway she said they are
just outstanding in every way; so completely different than the other
shihtzus she does. I thought you would like to hear that; we love them
so much and are very proud of them too. At the store people are blown
away how well mannered and absolutely adorable they are. I have wanted to
get in touch with you sooner but stupid busy ; I am relocating my store
and am right in the middle of my move. Very exciting but very busy!
Jake and Ellwood will love the new spot just as much! Think I will get
little black bow ties for them to wear at the Grand Opening! Hope all
is well with you Tammy; hope you know how much I think about you and
all your special handholding; truly cannot imagine not having these
amazing little love machines in our life. Will get pix to you soon! They
are sooo beautiful! Talk soon, Hugs Rene ! July/2011
Hi, Tammy,
It's been nearly a week since we expanded our family
with Bambi (we named her Gracie), and can I tell you, we just adore her. My
husband summed it up perfectly when he said, 'It's as if she was programmed for
our family.'
She is such a doll, a little lover, and she loves to
spend time with everyone in our family. In the last week she learned her name,
routinely does her business outside (not perfect yet, but we're working on it),
loves to go for rides, and follows us everywhere. She seems very content, the
perfect lap dog; in fact, when the vet checked her out on Friday, she listened
to her heart and said, 'She's very calm.'
We had one small issue: she does not like to sleep
alone! When we crated her on her second night, she yelped and howled and
created such a fuss that the girls couldn't sleep. I can't say I minded--it was
that much sooner that she ended up in bed with Art and me, where she's slept
every night since and I'm sure will forever...! So, she spent a total of one
night in the crate!
She has already brought so much joy to our family,
and is everything you said she was, and more. We just love her. Thanks so
much for working with us to ensure she'd be a good fit for our girls. You were
truly awesome to work with! We would definitely purchase a future pup from you
again.
Very best,
Art, Sandra, Katie, Ellie & Gracie July/2011

Words can never describe how happy I was when I found
Tammy�s add for my boys on her website.
I had been looking around for several weeks online and at local area
breeders� sights to find a companion for my other Shih Tzu puppy, Cody. Though
I loved looking at the pups from everywhere, hers caught my interest because
they were older and closer in age to my pup. Tammy was also the first breeder
that guaranteed me the dogs she bred were full size Shih Tzu, not less than
6lbs fully grown like some other breeders I contacted wanted me to believe! Originally, only interested in one of her
remaining babies, I never thought I would be taking both home with me, and
Tammy didn�t think I was serious about driving half-way across the country to
pick them up. She kept me up-to-date about the boys till the day we arrived to
pick them up. The boys are everything she promised and more. I can never thank her enough for being so
great at what she does, making little bundles of love and affection. Andrea 5/13/11
Hey Tammy!
I want to let you know that after having one of your pups for a year
and a half now, I can honestly say what a well behaved
little guy he is. He is the perfect companion. He is so very loving
and cuddly. And no trouble at all. He is also very considerate. If
I am sleeping in, in the morning, and he needs to go potty, he will
give a very soft low little growl in his throat, it is the sweetest
little sound! I love hearing it.
He was an instant hit! - fitted in to our family perfectly!
Potty training was achieved within a couple of weeks via crate
training - he absolutely loves his crate!! 'HIS DEN!' he often
sleeps there, and when we go out for a couple of hours he comes
sniffing at me to see if I'm putting on 'going out' clothes, then as
I head out of the bedroom he heads straight for his crate!
It is funny, sometimes we can't find him to crate him when we go
out, he is already in his crate waggin' his tail as if to say "what
took you so long?" now could you please close my door.
I just wanted to let you know what a true pleasure he is!

Our local pet store has these Photographers come in about 3 times a
year and they do a great job with the dogs. Sassy is a complete ANGEL
and Brinkley is a real handful. They balance each other out and they
are hilarious together. Well worth all the time and effort! I am always checking out your website. I love looking at all your beautiful Pups!

08/9/09 - Today we picked up our 2nd puppy, Montana, that we purchased from Tammy. He is so cute, such a joy and full of love. We got our 1st puppy, T-bone, from Tammy in March, and he adores his new playmate. Montana and T-bone get along great. Tammy was once again so helpful and provided our family with another healthy, cute, happy and full of love puppy!! Becky Payne
One in a Million breeder!
I just wanted to say that Tammy is an A+ breeder that takes the time to get to know you and learn where her babies are going. We have sent numerous emails back and forth and she has answered at least 100 questions for me and has not pressured me in any way to purchase a pup from her. I haven't purchased a pup yet, and she still takes the time to check in with me and make sure that all my questions are answered. We banter back and forth about her babies and I know that when the time is right that this is the place I will purchase my Shih Tzu pup from. Please email me if you have any questions! -Ann May 29, 2008
Excellent Breeder!!!!!
Tammy is great to work with. She is a wonderful breeder who truly cares about her dogs and it shows. I was apprehensive about getting a puppy from her. It’s a scary feeling purchasing a puppy on the internet. Tammy answered all of my questions, and she basically put my mind at ease about the puppy I selected. The entire process went smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised when I got my puppy. He (Sampson) was/is simply BEAUTIFUL. He is very intelligent and has a wonderful temperament, and is adjusting very well in our home. It’s as if he were with us all along. You won’t go wrong here. Tammy will go out of her way to make sure you are at ease about the puppy you select, and will make the transaction a painless one. If you want a beautiful, healthy companion to add to your family, then look no further. Contact me if you have any questions.-Carol, June 3, 2008
Honest Breeder...A++++
My experience with Tammy was just wonderful. She cares about what she is doing and loves her babies. She was great to work with in purchasing my little Shushu...Who is so very sweet. I encourage people to talk with Tammy and buy her babies...Excellent. Please consider adopting an older puppy...Much easier, in my opinion. Shushu's Wellness Vet Check came out perfectly and Tammy Vaccination information was in complete order for my Vet. The Shipping here to Washington State, went off without a hitch! Thank you..Tammy. Shushu is doing wonderfully well. Debi and Shushu-Debi July 6, 2008
She is a sweetie We met our little girl for the
first time 2 hours ago at the airport. Everything went smoothly, and it
was such a
pleasure to work with Tammy. She truly cares about her puppies and is
willing to spend as much time as needed to
make sure you get all your questions answered, and is very friendly.
Our little girl (chloe aka Telley) is fitting right in with her 2 big
brothers, they are all sleeping soundly and quietly in their huge
kennel together as I write this.
As soon as we got her home, she did her business outside then ate and
drank and played and it was like she's always been with us. What a
great personality. She is a wonderful addition to this family, and I
will enjoy her well into my golden years. LOL
I highly recommend this breeder to anyone wanting a healthy
well-adjusted shih tzu! Sherry, March 16, 2008
Molly I could not be happier with my experience
buying a puppy from Tammy.She was very helpful,answered all my
questions.The puppy was flown to me and arived healthy and happy.She is
really a great addition to our home. Kathy, February 15, 2008
Terrific puppy, and great breeder!!! We just came
back from picking up our new puppy and she is such a great addition to
our family. She is happy, healthy, and just beautiful! We were
apprehensive about ordering a puppy from the internet so we actually
drove to Tammy's place to check out the environment and her puppies. We
were so thrilled to see such a clean kennel not to mention such healthy
and clean puppies. Tammy definitely takes great pride in her puppies
and it shows! I would definitely recommend Tammy to anybody wanting a
shih-tzu, she only breeds quality puppies! Ali, March 19, 2007
GREAT BREEDER!!! I'm so very glad to have found
Tammy. She is so easy to talk to and has such a passion for breeding
Shih Tzus! It is her true calling. She made me feel at ease in getting
my baby boy Landon. I would definitely purchase another Shih Tzu puppy
from her! Thanks so much Tammy!!! :0) Marie, March 17, 2007
A Little Sweatheart!! We couldn't be more pleased
with our new little puppy. Tammy was great to work with and it is
obvious she treats her babies with tender loving care. Our Ziggy is
beautiful and has such a wonderful personality. We were quite
apprehensive about purchasing a puppy on the Internet, but we are glad
we found Tammy and her babies. Lora, March 16, 2007
