We do require some health and safety protocols prior to entering our facility to reduce the risk of spreading germs to our parents and puppies.

I was nervous about buying a puppy, but i was able to drive to meet John in person and see his puppies and their nursery. His communication and the care we received made the entire process easy. Our Shih Tzu is now 5 years old, healthy, playful, and has the sweetest personality.
