My husband and I had been looking into getting a puppy. We are both in our 70’s and wanted a small dog we could travel with. We had both decided a a Shih Tzu because of size, temperament, etc. we

wanted to buy from a breeder. I discovered Good Dog and then found Tami. I texted her regarding a little female that happened to be the runt of the litter. We drove there the next day to meet Tami and Bella (Lucy). We were able to meet the mother and father of Bella. I could tell right away Tami was an excellent breeder who care about all her dogs and puppies. My husband and I both fell immediately in love with Bella. We told Tami we wanted Bella and would come back to get her in several days while I went home to prepare for her homecoming. When we went back to get Bella, Tami had prepared a going home bag for her, with a blanket, bath towel, stuffed animal, food and a few supplements. It was such a great experience working with Tami, she is so caring of her animals. Bella has settled into her new home and we love her so much. Thank you Tami from Shih Tzu Kennels.

My good friend recommended Tami. She was quick to reply and send picture and videos until my family decided on a pup. She was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Our puppy is the best we are soo

lucky to have him.

Tami is an amazing breeder. Our puppy is healthy, happy and thriving. He has been well-socialized and isn’t afraid of the vacuum cleaner or new places.

He already knew to go potty outside when we got him. He is very responsive to training and had already learned to look you in the eyes when I got him. He is absolutely adorable and has a great personality. It is clear that Tami is a responsible, ethical breeder who is putting in the hard work before sending her puppies to their forever homes.

Tami was so responsible and knowledgeable about the breeds. You can tell she cares about her dogs. The ease of payment through good dog was nice.

I am very happy with my two puppies.

I enjoyed working with Tami, the owner of Shih Tzu Kennels, LLC. Tami was helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable.

We picked up our little girl in February; and we named her name Princess Oreo. She is a sweet, sassy, loveable puppy. Tami did a great job with Oreo's early potty training, which has given us a leg up on the process. If you're in Idaho, looking for a shih tzu puppy, I highly recommend Tami & Shih Tzu Kennels, LLC in Filer, Idaho.

Tami was amazing ! I wasn’t able to pick up the puppy right away but she worked with my schedule , met me at the airport for the transfer.

She even was kind enough to include necessities for the puppy. She was the best.

We found Shih Tzu Kennels and Tami answered our questions right away. She encouraged us to come down and play with the puppies and pick our little bundle. When

we got there our little Reeses totally picked us! Tami gave us a welcome kit that included toys, food and a bed! Tami is an excellent breeder and really gave us an excellent experience! We have shared pictures and stories with her showing how our puppy has grown over the past couple months. We are so very pleased and love our little Reeses! Thank you Tami!

It went great with Shih Tzu Kennels! I was super nervous after a bad experience with a rescue, and they answered all my questions and eased my mind.

We are so happy now!!
