Dear Friends,
Almost a year ago Paul & I visited your home and fell prompty in love with a darling puppy whose name is now Missy. Her parents are Good Times and Rosie. She is so friendly that everyone in the neighborhood knows her and says she is so adorable!
She's an active little girl and we love her dearly. If you're ever in the NW Indiana ... we would love to have you visit us.
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for being such a concientious breeder.
Paul & Mary Ann Carter & Missy
Things are going very well. Actually much better than I expected with two puppies... most of my friends thought we were crazy to get two at the same time but I feel like it was the best decision we could have made! In fact all my neighbors who have just one dog
are contemplating getting another one after seeing how great Frosty and Benny are together and how happy they seem!
....We are so very happy with our boys and feel like we have found the perfect pair of pups to include in our family! Thank you so much for sharing your babies with us!!!!
We hope that you are both doing well!!!
Love, Tricia and family
We love the Shih Tzu and feel a deep responsibility to maintain the integrity of this wonderful breed. We know that there are many, many people who are now familiar with, own, or know people who own a Shih Tzu. It is our belief that healthy, well socialized, beautiful AKC Shih Tzu puppies should be available to anyone who chooses to love this very special breed. We have dedicated ourselves, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to loving, maintaining and breeding the best Shih Tzu we can. It is our desire to provide healthy, well-socialized, beautiful Shih Tzu puppies to as many people as we can. As responsible Shih Tzu Breeders, we feel a tremendous responsibility to each dog we have, and each puppy we bring into the world. We have an application process because we MUST feel confident that each of our puppies is going to be loved and cared for in the manner we require and find acceptable... nothing is more important to us than the welfare of our Shih Tzu puppies and the subsequent happiness we are able to share with others.
We own and keep ALL of our Shih Tzu (males and females) in our homes...we only sell Shih Tzu puppies which are the result of our own breedings...all our adult Shih Tzu and puppies are AKC Registered.l We are always proud to state the dam and sire of our puppies...and we love showing you pictures of our moms with their new babies...they are always so proud!
PLEASE...NEVER, EVER BUY A PUPPY FROM A PET STORE...THEY ARE THE REASON PUPPYMILLS EXIST!!! Always buy from a reputable breeder...breeders who care enough to take the time to find loving homes for their own puppies. Reputable breeders will never sell their puppies to or through a pet store or broker, no matter what a pet store owner or employee may tell you. We urge you to educate yourselves on the heartbreaking and horrendous conditions the mothers and fathers of these puppies are forced to live in. As you have done a search for "Breeders", also do a search for "Pet Store Puppies" and "Puppy Mills". There are animal lovers and animal abusers...its the responsibility of us all to eliminate the abusers.
**A Broker is anyone who sells puppies for someone else for a profit, or anyone who buys puppies (from anyone, but usually a puppymill) and resells them. They are required, by law, to have a USDA license to do this.
