Hi Heidi and Beth! We picked our Captain
up from you in January (he was a November baby from Truffles and
Bacci) and I just wanted to send you an update!
I don't even know where to start, I can't thank you enough for this
dog. Everyone who meets him is completely charmed by him. He not
only has the sweetest, best personality of any dog I've ever met,
he's been a breeze to train-- the first thing he did when we brought
him home was pee on his puppy pad and ask for a treat! It's been
basically just as effortless since then. He's completely housebroken
now. He is such a goof, and is always making us laugh. He likes to
bodysurf on our hardwood floors, and steal our socks (and undies
too, sometimes, which is amusing when we have houseguests..).
Captain is very smart, and still learning; he knows a number of
tricks now and is a very good student. Of course, a bit of cheese is
the best incentive!
He is, besides all of these things, totally adorable. We live on the
upper west side of Manhattan, where there are tons of small dogs,
but people literally stop their cars to tell me how cute he is, and
what a beautiful color. He's a big boy now, just over 12 pounds!
He's happy as a clam, and doing so well.
I can attribute all of these things to luck, but I know that it's
because of your impeccable breeding that Captain is the marvelous,
beautiful dog he is. He is the easiest animal to live with, gets
along with everybody, and I can't thank you enough for giving us our
best buddy. Thank you SO much, keep doing what you're doing, it's
working!
Best wishes,
Julia and Reynolds

 Hi
Heidi-
Can you believe how much Chloe looks like her dad, Mr. Buttons?
Their faces are identical. So so cute! She is the "love
bug" of our household. Thanks again for the most wonderful
puppy in the world. She will be nine months on April 7th.

Dear Heidi,
Hi, this is Natalie. I would like to keep in
touch with you to get updates about our little guy. I took
pictures on my camera phone, and we all sat around last night and
came up with a name for him. I can't wait to see him on
Saturday and have my daughter meet him. We are all very
excited and can't wait to welcome him into our home. I know
I'm ahead of myself, but I ordered the gate you suggested already.
I want everything to be perfect for when he comes home with us.
Again, thank you for everything. I feel sooooo safe and
secure adopting a puppy from you because I know he is coming for a
great, clean and safe home. I love the way you operate your
nursery!!!!
If you get a chance, please send me updates and pics. I
am constantly looking on your site showing my kids Cosmo and Kiki!
Thank you again,
Natalie

Heidi,
  
Thought you might like to see our
little boy Truffle. Look how cute he is. Everyone LOVES
him. I was wondering also if you had pictures of his sister.
She must be cute as well. Just a reminder we are leaving for
Aruba on 5/16 so wanted to make sure we could drop him off with you
on Saturday 5/15 for babysitting. We would have to pick him up on
Sunday 5/23 as we get home late on Saturday. I know your
daughter cannot wait to take care of him. We had him groomed
last Saturday and he looked so so good. He smelled so so good.
He is just so adorable. All my friends love him. Thanks
for all your help. Hope all is well. See you soon.

It was great to speak to you today. I am impressed with
the quality of puppies that we are seeing from Exotic Shih Tzu.
I feel that our practice would be a great reflection on your
business as we have built an immaculate new facility.
We're easy to get to as well. In addition, Shih Tzu's
happen to be my personal obsession.
We look forward to meeting you, either at your office, or if
you'd like, we'd love to show you our facility.

 Heidi,
I want to get Stella groomed however, I don't want her to loose
her coloring :( I absolutely love her coloring that I don't want
that to go away. I have off the last week in March for spring
break..can I bring her to Exotic Paws to get her groomed for the
first time? Let me know your thoughts. I am attaching another
picture of her. The vet voted her the cutest puppy of the
month!! I love her!

 Hi
Heidi and Beth,
I have been meaning to email you
pictures of Stella, but my life has been so hectic!! I can not
begin to describe to you how much love she brings to my life.
She is a bundle of fur and joy to me.
My Dad was recently extremely sick.
He unfortunately, went into something called Septic Shock. He
had a prostate biopsy and when they went in he had an abscess
that ended up exploding into his blood stream. It was one of the
scariest moments of my life. They basically gave my Dad a 20
percent change of living. The doctors ended up finding an
antibiotic that was able to stop this bacteria from eating away
at his entire body. He is doing so much better and is on the
road to recovery. Stella is one of the main reasons why he is
doing so well. He LOVES her so much and she brings such a smile
to his face every time he sees her. When my Dad was sick, I went
home one night and picked her up from my friends house because
all I wanted to do was cuddle and hug her. I knew she would make
me smile and make me feel loved. She was my connection to my Dad
when he was sick.
I am attaching some pictures that I
have of her. She is so funny and has such a personality. I take
her with me everywhere. Where ever we go, we get stopped because
people just want to hug her.
Thank you for giving me such a mush
of a puppy. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Take Care, Emily

I adopted trouble at the end of December. He is such a
personality that our vet has made several comments about
his friendliness intelligence and beauty. he is black with white
tipped paws and tail with a great white neck. he is extremely
playful as well.
We now have a pup who weighs in at 4.5 lbs already! (just turned
3 months) He really is the chow hound who'll cottage
cheese, yogurt and eggs as easily as chicken or beef.
Good genes, I say!!!

 Hi
Heidi-
Happy Valentine's Day! So our beautiful Chloe (on left-7 months
now) was spayed on Monday. Bella, now 14 months, thinks that
Chloe is her "baby" and she was so depressed that she wouldn't
leave her bed for almost 36 hours. You were so right! They are
inseparable and Shih Tzu should always come in pairs. I can't
even begin to describe the love and joy Chloe brings to our
family every day. She is so smart and we trained her with little
to no effort. As a matter of fact, she has finally shamed Bella
into loosing a few of her not so nice habits! If only my lap
were big enough for three. Last thing I want to share with you
is that my husband, who looked like he was in a "coma" the day
we visited you and bought Chloe, is now "awake" and is so madly
in love with her that my human daughter is now jealous! Be well!
Thank you again and again,
Sue

 Hi
Heidi,
Just wanted to check in and give you a progress report on MiMi.
She is doing great and she is our little Diva. You can see that
from the photo. We had a question for you, MiMi had a brother
(Harley) in the litter from Pandora, and we wanted to know if
you have ever heard from them or have received pictures of
Harley. We would love to come up and see you but we know we will
come home with another baby..... See you soon....
Thanks, Lisa & Ron

shopping with me, everybody stops to see my beautiful boy. He
loves the snow and jumps around in it like a rabbit. Hope you
had a nice holiday. Here's my little boy.

  Hi
Heidi:
Hope you & yours had a wonderful Christmas! Nutmeg (3years)
and Coco (7.5 months) are terrific. Coco has been a lively,
spunky addition to our family. She loves to torment Nutmeg and
vice-a-versa...She bites his long full ears and he jumps on the
couch and relishes in the fact that she still can't jump up.
She is a little chunkier, about 8lbs but still shorter than Nutmeg
but really so, so cute!
They ARE best buddies, did not happen in week one, maybe not even
first month but they love each other.
Warm Regards, Abby |

Dear Heidi,
Sorry it has taken us 3 months to tell you how happy we are with
Honey. She is the most adorable, loving, perfect addition to our
family. We've never been happier. She quickly trained to go outside
and now has free roam of 4 rooms of the house. She is so healthy and
sweet. We really bought the perfect dog from you and wanted you to
know how special she is to us.
Many thanks,
Eileen, Ken, Andie, Brett and Callie

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Santa Chloe!
I can't begin to tell you how much we love and adore her.
Honestly, she is the best dog I have ever had! She is training
beautifully and which is a great tribute to you as an amazing
breeder who gives her pups an amazing start in life! As you
know, Chloe is our second Shih Tzu as we also have Bella who is
now 13 months. I only wish we could have a third and of course,
it would only come from you.
All the Best,
Susan

Hi Heidi...Wanted you to know both Webster & Miranda (Mulberry)
are doing very well. Everyday Miranda wakes up & plays with
Webster....Nibbles at his ears & runs the back yard. Webster has
gotten spoiled. Webster is NOW difficult to feed. He has an
attitude & when it comes time to eat demands his food by barking
loudly in ones ear. He wants people food & won't eat dog food.
Webster is very special...
Myself as well as my family think of you & the wonderful
priceless gift you have given me. I can't express in words the
joy both Miranda & Webster bring to my home...Honestly you are
thought in this house in a.. "godly"... fashion. We always think
of you & the unbelievable joy you have brought to myself & my
family...
Both Miranda & Webster go the small dog run doggie park often.
It's beautiful with other dog lovers & the view of the LI sound
is the perfect place to bring them...Webster is insane with love
when he goes. He loves all dogs & knows when I say doggie park
or DP he knows he's going... Webster goes out of his mind
with joy...Miranda is a lady. She is shy at the park but is
learning to mingle. She is unbelievable full of love. She's
is in my mind the best shih Tzu in the world. Miranda is
everything & more that any dog lover could ask.. Truly a dream
come true thanks to you Heidi...Miranda know only one think it's
love...she loves all & is always so happy....besides being a
drop dead knock out...her personality is simple the best dog
I've ever had by far...Dress her in pink. looks great in any
outfit...what a lap dog. got to love it...
Webster is all boy...he's has an attitude but he's all
boy......Webster will talk to you in doggie talk & he's all
personality...He knows he's got the look...struts his
stuff...Loves toys & loves to wear his NY Giant gear to the
park. loved big time!!!!
Miranda goes to grievance group every other week so other owners
can see there is hope to find another pet. People hold her & cry
for they remember there own pet. I always remember my own
dogs Prince & Pookie who died so suddenly. Went to grievance
group & helped so much. Now I pay it forward by bringing some
joy to others with Miranda.....True dog lovers as you well know
....grieve harder & longer for there pets. The unconditional
love a dog bring is priceless. that's why people grieve harder &
longer over their pet ..then humans. TRUE.....So Miranda comes
with me alone to these meeting & we help others get over their
grief...
See how much good you have done Heidi....now I'm paying it
forward thanks to you...
.When people see a Heidi shih Tzu their jaw drops because you
breed the best Shih Tzu.... How well mannered & loving both
Webster & Miranda shows lots about there upbringing. It obvious
by your hard worked & the love you have given to this breed.
shows...
Both Miranda & Webster need to cut & groomed & a bath...so will
be calling asap.. Mike

Dear Heidi,
I just wanted to let you
know that Oreo has been a great addition to our family. He loves to
play fetch and say hello to everyone that comes through the door.
He waits every morning for my son's bus and when it comes his tail
wags and he wants to come outside with me to see Sal off. All the
kids on the bus have big smiles and yell "puppy"! These are all
kids with special needs and their faces brighten up when Oreo comes
out!
Evan, my youngest loves
Oreo it's his best friend. They have an understanding. They both
annoy each other and they both fight over toys! Sal is just now
getting use to Oreo and is finally petting him! He says: "Dog",
"Dog goes woof", and he also tries to engage with Oreo and play
fetch with him or run back and forth hoping that Oreo will run after
him.
I also want to thank you
for taking care of Oreo! I know that he is in good hands when I
leave him with you.
Thank you again for
picking the right puppy for our family.

Hi there,
I have just spent some time perusing your website and I have to
say I am incredibly impressed at how ADORABLE your puppies are
and how happy they all look! My boyfriend and I live in
Manhattan and are very excited to adopt a puppy. We are looking
particularly at males on the smaller side (between 4 and 8
pounds). We are looking to adopt after the holidays, sometime in
January. Do you have any litters planned for this time period? I
know it's a bit far in advance, but we've decided to take our
time and have everything ready when the time comes. Is there a
time we could come and visit you and your dogs?
Again, your puppies and full-grown family members are so
beautiful. I am a life-long small dog lover (I grew up with
French Bulldogs!) and have been debating for a long time over
what breed was right for me and our lifestyle -- your website
convinced me!
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Julia

Hi Heidi,
Just wanted to send you an updated picture of Rico, he had a
great first Halloween! He was a zebra. We
marched in the Merrick Ave parade, he just loves being
around people and kids. We were stopped so many times
by admiring marchers. "What kind of dog is that?", "I
never saw a Shih Tzu that color", "He is so cute".....Just
look at that face how can anyone resist!
 
P.S. I keep missing you when I stop by Exotic Paws.
I must tell you, your daughter is a sweetheart. See
you soon!

puppy! We named him Winston, and he is so adorable and loving. Thank
you so much for setting us up so nicely with a bed, toys,
cloths, shampoo and all the other extras! you really made this a
wonderful experience! We are over the moon with Winston:)
We really appreciate you being so helpful and informative with our
choice of puppy. After the last unfortunate experience with
the other breeder, it was so to come home with a healthy, gorgeous
puppy!
I'm attaching a link of a video I put up of him on YouTube, I
thought you may enjoy it.

 Hi
Heidi, I am forever recommending you to everyone on the streets of
Manhattan. It's pretty easy because I get stopped regularly with Tommy.
He's the greatest little guy in the world and he's stunning just like
his mommy, Maui. He truly looks just like Maui. I wanted to be able to
print out Maui's picture, but the website wouldn't allow me to copy it
by right clicking. Is there a way you could email me that adorable
picture of Maui on your website? My daughter and I would so appreciate
it. She also looks so sweet like him. How old is she and
what type of disposition does she have?Tommy is
extremely attached to me and my daughter and acts completely human. He
loves when we carry him around on his back. Although he is approaching 1
1/2 yrs, he has retained his puppy like disposition. He enjoys teasing
my older Shih Tzu, who is turning 9 this February. And when he sees me
leaving, he immediately hops in his carrying case. I'm
embarrassed to tell you that I feed him with a fork in the morning and
he opens wide just like a baby!!! Having him has been the greatest
experience for me and my family. I recommended you to my friend,
Michelle, who just purchased her little guy (Glamour Girl's son) in
August. I understand that Michelle's friend also purchased a
little one. I'd love to say hi. When you have a chance, please
call me to say "hi" on my cell or at work.
All the best,
Barbie |

color now, and turns heads everywhere we go.
Everyone asks where did you find such a color?
She truly is a special little lady at 5
months...and is getting fixed soon. Hope
you are well and your pups coming into the
world... I'd have 100 of them if I could, take
care :)
Best,

Heidi, I was just looking at your site! WOW! I couldn't
stop looking! You have such gorgeous dogs!
I know that Jeanette, Kobe's mother, got him from you.
She contacted me when Kobe got lost, as I am the
organizer of the NYC Shih Tzu Meet up, and needless to
say, a great Shih Tzu lover. I am sick over his
disappearance, and having never met Jeanette, decided to
go out there and help her try to find Kobe, about two
weeks ago. She raved about you as a breeder.
I have a few people in my group (which now numbers 529
Shih Tzu!) who got their dogs from you and they are all
gorgeous. Please feel free to tell anyone who gets
a Shih Tzu from you to join my group as we have meet-ups
and active message boards all about Shih Tzu. The
site is
www.shihtzu.meetup.com/10.
I myself am a great Shih Tzu lover and have five Shih
Tzu. I had six, but lost one of my almost 13 year
olds back in July. I was heartbroken. He
died in my arms. His name was Taylor and he was liver
and white. I have his brother, Brandon, and
sister, Brittany who are both black and white, and from
the same litter. I adopted them all at the same
time from someone in my neighborhood who had the mother
and father. That started my love of Shih Tzu!
I had previously had Samoyeds and poodles. I
adopted a now 4 year old white Shih Tzu from the ASPCA
two and a half years ago whom I named Dustin. He
was very sick and had a liver shunt and aggressive
behavior including biting. Within two months, he
had his liver shunt corrected and turned into a loving,
sweet dog who does not stop kissing. Two weeks
after I got Dustin, I adopted another Shih Tzu, Chase,
from someone on Long Island who gave him up. He is
the sweetest, best behaved dog, who sleeps on his back,
and is a strawberry blond color. I know nothing of
his background, except that he was 7.5 years old when I
adopted him (his just turned 10) and the woman lived in
Huntington. She told me she was Chase's second
mother, as his original owner got sick and had to give
him up. She had been babysitting him at the time
and adopted him. She, herself, was giving him up
because she had a 16 month old baby and was pregnant
again and was moving in with her in-laws where she could
not have a dog. She dropped him in my lap in Penn
Station on Westminster Weekend in 2007 and walked away.
I had told her I would try to find him a home, but took
one look at this absolutely gorgeous Shih Tzu lying in
my lap, and told myself that no one was going to get
him; he was mine! I think that this dog may have
come from you as he is from Long Island and from a
breeder, and looks exactly like your dogs. He is
less than 10 lbs with a smushed in face and a black
mask. He is so sweet and has modeled and is a
therapy dog. Could he have originally come from
you? I adopted my last dog about a year and a half
ago, Cody. He was given up by his owner who was a
member of my group. I was originally boarding him
as she did not know if she was going to give him up.
She wound up giving him up to me and of course I fell in
love with this big, black and white Shih Tzu who knows
every trick in the book.
I love the chocolate and black Shih Tzu. You have
the most awesome dogs on your site. If anyone ever
gives a dog back for any reason, please let me know as I
would be thrilled to adopt an adult. I would also
be thrilled to adopt any dog who you have who retires
from breeding. Your dogs are beautiful and you
have a wonderful site. I will recommend you to
anyone who inquires of me where to get a Shih Tzu and
who is a good breeder. I get a number of these
inquiries. Also, if I am in the market for a
gorgeous puppy (I can never resist them!) I will
definitely contact you.
I live in Manhattan and would love to come out to your
place some Saturday to look at and play with your dogs.
I would also love to visit your store as I am a
"collector" of dog clothing, accessories, bags and beds.
(I truly have over 1,000 items of dog stuff, from
dresses to beds to strollers.) I also go to all
the dog trade shows and know all the vendors and
manufacturers from across the nation. From what I
have seen in your pictures, you have great stuff in your
store.

Hi Heidi and Beth,
Just wanted to update you on my sweet
little puppy Coco Chanel. I adopted her from you about 6
months ago - she was Honeychild and
Mr. Buttons'
litter from 9/27/08. She is doing great now and me and Mike
love her to death. She is 8 months old now and weighs 7.8
pounds - although we may be overfeeding her a little bit and need to
cut down. She is a sweetie pie and not yappy at all. The
only time she barks is when she's play fighting with Mike or if
she's being a brat on occasion and wants to be let out of her
playpen. Otherwise, she could hang around me for hours without
making a peep. She loves
people and will try to lick and play with everyone she sees.
But she's not really into other animals - she backs away the second
any dog or cat (even tiny kittens!) gets the least bit aggressive -
we call her our scardy-pansy dog. She's not super smart, but
we've taught her a few tricks that she knows really really well -
sit, down, OK (before she can leave her playpen or pick up a treat
on the floor) and paw. We try to walk her twice a day - but we
skip out when it rains, because she just gets way too dirty even if
it’s just drizzly.
So, thank you both for giving us our Coco
puff!! - I would send a pic, but I'm at work. But I do notice
that she is a lot better looking than Shih-Tzu we see around the vet
or parks. Maybe that's why other dogs don't like her - she's
too cute. We are looking forward to adopting another puppy -
but may need to wait a while until Coco is more mature. We are
thinking of getting a boy to even things out in the household, but
I've kind of gotten used to having a girl and I don't really want to
deal with leg lifting. Also, Coco has a great friendly
personality (before and after she got spayed), so maybe another
little girl would be good for us.
Anyways, I'll let you know when we really
want to adopt again.
Thanks and have a great summer!
Jessica

Dear Heidi,
We just wanted to say hi and give you an
update on our puppy Gino. He is doing great!
He is such a special little boy.
Although we are a little tired from the middle of the night wake
up calls (which are already getting much better), we are having
the time of our lives with him.
He is so playful and curious. He loves
people and his toys!
Sometimes he even barks to go outside
and then does his business! I can't believe an 8 week old puppy
is training himself!
We just want to thank you again for
raising such sweet and beautiful dogs!
We will send you pictures as soon as we
download them from the camera...
We will keep in touch,
Angela and Brian and children (including
Gino!).

Comments: Heidi, we can't thank you enough for the amazing new
love of our lives Rico. He is a feisty little baby full of energy
and love. He is doing so good with eating and potty training. He
loves Canidae and his walks up and down the driveway (waiting for
all his shots to graduate to the street! (lol) The minute I took him
home he snuggled right into his bed in his play den. His favorite
play thing is a beach ball, he can't get enough of it. The kids roll
it around and he chases it. So much fun! And everyone says puppies
are a lot of work.....not if they come from Exotic Shih Tzu!

given by both these Shih-Tzu. Webster is a love machine.. He loves
all & has a great personality. Miranda just wants to be held in your

dogs.
I love the bred & can't thank you enough

4 lbs. Her color is turning a beautiful strawberry
blonde. She is a wonderful addition to our family.
We couldn't be happier! She is one spoiled princess!!!
Lola loves her Chewy Vuitton and loves to play fetch with
just about anything.
My boys, Steven & Ryan, just love her to pieces. They
can't get enough of her. Here are a few recent
pictures:
Thank you so much for producing such a beautiful breed. I
am hoping that someday I can convince my husband that
Lola needs a chocolate liver

She is a great addition to my home and is great
with everyone new she meets. Now that Spring is

listening to the birds singing! (Not sure what
she would do if she actually saw them LOL! )
It is such a pleasure to see how she reacts to

pictures around (I know I shouldn’t, but I just can’t
help it!). Heidi, it was nice to finally meet you,
even if it was just for 10 seconds!
We plan on coming back out on the
18th, I will give you a time once it gets
closer. I just purchased a play pen today and a
Halloween costume. I couldn’t resist, it’s a
little skunk suit! Toooo cute!
Please take care of our little

Thanks so much!

Hi Heidi,
I received your call. It was so nice of you to follow up to see
how we are doing. I must say you make beautiful
puppies!!!!!! He is such a joy. I don't even
want to go to work and I can't wait to get home to see him.
I'm like a little kid when it comes to him. I love
looking at your site . Each of of them is a beauty.
Make sure you continue to make more .. They are
addicting... I may want another one :)
When I was at your house Beth mentioned I
should take him to your vet for a free vet check up in 3 weeks.
I noticed the puppy (Still trying to think of a name. I was
thinking of cosmo and then I noticed that his Dad's name is
Cosmo. )
Again, all your puppies are amazingly beautiful.
Looking forward to
hearing from you.
Best regards.

 Hi
Beth and Heidi!
Here is an updated picture of Lexie and I
can't believe Lexie is 9 weeks old already. She is great and I love her more and
more each day! ("Simply the Best") and of course since I'm a protective
mother she is spoiled! LOL!
She is very
smart and I think she will be a jumper! She keeps trying to jump up
on my lap and almost made it but can't yet because she is too
little. I give her a couple of weeks and she will be flying!!! LOL!
Actually, she doesn't have to jump, one night she actually climbed
up my pant legs like a rock climber and landed on my lap. ! It
happened so fast and I was like OMG! how did she do that. Doggie
Olympics here we come!!

 Hi

I thought I would send you some pictures of
MooShu. He turned one on December 8th and is just a gorgeous dog.
Actually, today is a year ago that I brought him home. Anyway,
thought you would like to see some pictures of the little boy. He
is so smart. I have taken him to training classes and all of the
instructors tell me how intelligent he is. The one thing I am
still working on is that he thinks he is a German shepherd and wants it
his way or no way. Trying to get that worked on. Hope all is
well.

Hi Heidi and Beth,
We are still on such a high after the Christmas
delivery of our beautiful T-cup. It was a Christmas we will never
forget. She is the perfect dog.
She gets prettier every time I look at her.
Both of you were top notch from start to finish. When we brought T-cup
to the vet, he was so impressed with the medical records and the
paperwork we gave him. He said, "You really did your homework and went
to a great breeder." He said she is a beautiful Shih Tzu -- we were so
proud. We love every minute with her. Thanks again--you may hear from a
few friends - everyone that sees her leaves saying they are getting a
Shih Tzu.

happier with her, and are constantly receiving compliments about her
absolute cuteness! She is such a doll and weighs a whopping 4
pounds. She is the size of our 11 pound Pekingese's head!
Such a cutie! Everyone thinks she is just a puppy because of her
size and baby face. The 27th of this month marks our 1 year
anniversary with her and we were considering celebrating with the
addition of a new puppy. We are looking for a solid chocolate.
Please let us know what you have available. Here are some photos

visiting her today and I thought you and Beth would enjoy seeing it.
 Words
can't describe how exited I am. Remember she is the daughter of Cosmo and Mama
Leonie born on 12/24/2008! The little red and white one but who turned out to be
Tricolor. Which is great!! She is so pretty!!!!!!! When I first saw her on
12/30/2008 I knew she was the one for me.!
I lost my beloved Pom Pom (Pompy) in 2008 after 16 1/2
years and I'm looking forward to a new Puppy in 2009 to love and spoil. (Yes
she will be spoiled because I am a very protective mother)!
I look forward to my Saturday visits and most
especially the day I take her home.!
Michele
P.S. And she will have a very royal name (my English Background) as my Pompy
did (Madame Pompadeur II) and my new baby will be named Princess Alexis
Annie the First and I will call her " Lexie"!

Heidi, I just wanted to thank you for your time on the phone today (Florida)...
:) I have just started my research.... I am thankful I have you to compare
and judge all of my findings against... I have found nothing that
compares........ Your dogs are stunning and healthy and HAPPY :) I
would love to jump on the opportunity that you will actually be heading my way
in just a few days and have a chocolate baby available...I am just not 100%
ready, I have a full kitchen remodel in February and a trip to NY planned at the
end of March. I do want you to keep me somewhere tucked into your brain so
that when I am ready this summer you will be comfortable with the fact I live
out of state. It is apparent that just in speaking to it is a labor of
love and seems like your business has thrived because of that. I have half
had the thought of breeding Shih Tzu's here in South Florida... #1 I run with a
dog loving crowd that spoils are dogs more than our kids and #2 because this is
a beautiful breed that is loosing the special unique qualities we love so much
in them because they are bred in horrible conditions. (If you have any
suggestions please fill me in. ) Honestly I have only come across a handful of
breeders and most of the dogs available these days in my area are ALL from pet
stores. I will be checking your website often, and drooling... LOL stay
warm , enjoy your cruise and thanks again for your time.... Jen

Wanted to write this on the testimonial page but

Are you sure we did not get a baby from you? It
sure seems like it. I am in love with my 4th child Cooper. He is the
love of our household. The kids adore him and he is our baby. We
have him almost 3 weeks now and he has adjusted so WELL. He is the most
spoiled little boy I know. Here are a few pictures
from his first Thanksgiving with Spencer and Skylar of course and with his
little cousin Chase. Also big brother Tyler loves him and his new Dad
treats him like one of his children. We will send our Christmas picture
soon -- wanted him to get a little bigger before we took our picture.
Happy Holidays to you Both! Denise

Hello,
My
husband and I are looking for a dog and we were impressed with your website.
Do you still have your Black female called Brooklyn?
We are
early retired, live in the country with a fenced yard. We had to put 2 of
our Newfoundland dogs to sleep in December so we have broken hearts. We are near
Albany, NY so we could easily drive to you. We are also glad you do not ship
your dogs and agree that it is very traumatizing for them. We also
could provide references from our Newfie breeder whom we purchased many of our
dogs through the years.
Thank you in advance.

Heidi,
I found your website by accident when I was googling
Shih-Tzu hair cuts for my puppies. I have never been so impressed! I purchased
my puppy, Sophie, from Oklahoma, and more recent a solid dark chocolate female,
Mytzi Moya, from Alabama...Any who, I am in love with the Shih-Tzu breed. My
babies make my life whole.
Are your puppies AKC, CKC, or both? Your site is very
informative, I delve into learning new information how to best care for my
puppies. Thank YOU! For such a wonderful site! I am learning more about my
babies every day. I am a 44 year old registered nurse who has never owned a pet
before, and I am soaking up any and all information about my babies that I can.
I never realized what I was missing out on, so much love, joy, and unconditional
love.
I would love more than anything to have another solid dark
chocolate female. She is REAL eye candy, and just a total joy that tickles my
heart! My Mytzi Moya is the best thing that ever hit the planet!! She gets away
with murder!! Your puppies are adorable, to say the least, I'm sure you already
know! I've never seen such cute black Shih-Tzu either! I think it would seem a
dream vacation for me to come to New York just to visit your spa!
A friend in Kentucky,

part of our family. Her personality and disposition is the perfect combination
of playful and calm. She is spunky and high spirited. Both Beth and Lovie

Coco is doing great! I have to tell you once again what a beautiful and
wonderful little puppy she is. She is about 4 months now and about the smartest
little thing I know. The boys love her to pieces and big sister "Bella" thinks
she is the "mama", cleaning her and all. She is doing very well on
house-training and loves to get into mischief. But you can never get mad
because she just looks at you with those adorable eyes and tilts her head saying
" I know I'm the cutest". Well Happy holidays to everyone. When I figure out how
to download her picture I will send it to you. Thanks again for our precious

Hi Heidi,
Hope all is well with you and everyone at the store.
Bailey is doing so well with his friend Mollie. He is just the best and is
sooooo great with the little kids. He takes everything and is just an angel. I
definitely received a gem when i got one a Lola and Mr Buttons puppy. I could
not ask for a sweeter, mushier, cuddle puppy than he is. He is about 10.5
pounds. We love him to pieces. By the way he loves his new dog food of the
canine caviar. He eats like a king. But he is worth it. Here are some recent
photos for your collection...

Comments: I absolutely LOVE Lola's color. Also, my grandmother adopted two
gorgeous black and white puppies from you in the spring of 2008. They are just
the absolute sweetest dogs ever! They are the perfect size and have the best
temperament ever. I am very satisfied, and frankly amazed, by how well your dogs
turned out.
I love the breed and would love to have a dog that would
get along with my two cats and three children (ages 15,12, and 10).

Heidi,
I can't tell you how happy I am with KC. She's the best. Brings us
so many laughs; she is so cute. She runs around like she possessed and the
minute I pick her up she just turns over on her back and wants loving.
I also want to thank you for introducing me to Leslie. She's a
great groomer and even though I would love to come and visit your shop it's
really a little too far for me to come regularly.
Have a very happy holiday.

Hi Heidi,
It's Jamie, BeeGee's Mom. My mother said that she
talked to you about possibly getting a puppy for Christmas. She wanted to
know how much you would charge her for your least expensive male. Color is
not an option. She was thinking of adopting but she's obviously in love
with your puppies. Please email me back and let me know.
Also I have attached BeeGee's Christmas picture.
You'll be getting an original in the mail.

Thanks for my beautiful tiny black girl, she is
GORGEOUS!!!!!
It took us a minute to get it straight but we did and I am so happy and so are
the kids. Every since Max died we had a void and you helped fill it when you
gave us our pup. Overall I am happy with the whole experience and thank you for
being so patient with me because I know at times I was a pain (BITCH) LOL!!!! I
have decided to name her Suki. Thank you again, you are forever in my heart.

 Hi
Heidi,
Zoe graduated from school today. It was an 8 week
course. She learned how to sit, stay, give her paw, get down flat on the floor,
come when called etc. etc. We are so proud of her. Can you believe the 1.4
oz puppy is now 5 lbs? She's one of the best things I have done adopting
her.
Thanks for doing such a great job breeding.
Happy Holidays to all.

love to surprise our 3 children (ages 14, 12 and 8) with a puppy for Christmas!
My brother and his family own a Shih Tzu and she's wonderful, friendly and very
playful, especially with our son who is 8. He absolutely loves playing with her.
We're not sure exactly what our preferences would or should be. The little black
puppies are very cute, but I don't think we have a color preference. Love your
website, very informative.

affectionate. I am looking for some variation of gold and black, white accents

most easy going little pup imaginable.
It's hard for me to leave for work since I
got him June. We both have separation anxiety!!! It feels like we
adopted a little baby.
I never thought I could love a dog this much.
He is truly like my little son.
Here are some pictures of him to put on the

We bought a puppy from you in July. She was Pandora and
Tattoo's baby. She is wonderful and her color keeps changing everyday. She is
four months now and we will be sending pictures. Her name MEME if you remember.
One quick question. We were told they can eat fruit and I think it was
blueberries but can't remember. Whenever you get a chance if you could help with
the answer that would be great. We always get compliments on her and she is
beautiful. Thank you again and we will be sending pictures.

 We
just had to write to let you know just how glad we are to have found your ad
about Shih Tzu Puppies For Sale. We weren't sure we were ready for a
puppy, and now, months later, we're sorry we didn't take two. When we came
to see the litters you had available in January 2008 we knew we had to have a
puppy. I also have to mention... we were so impressed with the way he was
already wee wee pad trained at only 5 weeks old. We came to visit a couple
of weeks for your Saturday puppy visits before we could finally pick him up at 8
weeks and everyone was so great!
Our little boy is a Lola
and Lucky puppy and he is 10 months old now. We have had nothing but fun and
excitement and lots of puppy lovin' in our lives since we brought him into our
home. He is our most precious gem and the light of our lives. We receive
compliment after compliment on just how adorable he is, and we must say, we
agree!
 There's
nothing greater than coming home to the welcome we get after a day at work or
just a trip to the store. (You saw for yourselves when he came out from
being groomed; the love and kisses are the greatest!!!). He is just soooo
loveable... We just can't seem to get enough of him...
Thanks for taking the photos and for emailing the copies. We appreciate how
you and your staff take such good care of our baby when he comes for his
grooming at Exotic Paws! It's always nice to sit and chat when we see you
at the salon. Hope to see you at DJ's next grooming appointment!
Thanks, again for everything!

Comments: I had a Shih Tzu for 11 years, he was my
everything. Unfortunately, he got very sick and was diagnosed with chronic
kidney disease and about a month ago I had to put him to down. It was the
hardest thing I think I ever had to do I am heart broken. Shih Tzu's' are
amazing dogs, they are extremely loyal and affectionate--& most of all always
manage to put a smile on your face! I am looking for a little baby girl,
preferably with dark chocolate coloring. Please let me know if you have any
chocolate females available, if not please let me know about other females you
have available or any upcoming litters. Look forward to hearing from you soon!
Thank you

Hello:
I found your add in puppies USA and i was looking at
your web site. You have some very beautiful Shih Tzu. Are you located in NY
state or NY. Im located in Ontario Canada and have just started out breeding
Shih Tzu. I just sold my first litter this summer. I have 3 female and one male.
I was wondering if you would sell one of your puppies with breeding rights???
And do you know how it works turning A.K.C. papers into C.K.C. papers?? I really
like Glamour girl, Tahiti, Hollywood and Maui.
I'm willing to go on a waiting list for as long as it
takes.
I look forward to hearing from you

Hi Heidi,
Hope all is well with you and your new shop.
Penny is doing well and reached her 1st birthday at 10 lbs 3 ozs. in June. We
baked a dog cake and had a mini celebration for her. She is still an outstanding
dog ! We love her and she has fit in well with our family. I wish we could have
kept Chubby Checker but 2 dogs was too much for us to handle. Annmarie still
talks about him. I hope you were able to find him a good home.
I met one of your dogs tonight by a neighbor’s house. This
woman Jeanne from Bethpage was visiting there, with her 2 Shih Tzu’s one who she
said she adopted from you in April. She said she called you looking for an older
dog 6-8 months and you had a tan and white male dog available named Sonar. She
said she met a women Beth who she met somewhere in Melville who turned the dog
over to her. (it is a small world) She is very happy with the dog. The dog is
very cute she named it Mikey and it was fun to watch all 3 Shih Tzu’s playing
together. Penny was the biggest at 10 lbs!
I still love looking a your website
Hope you are enjoying the summer!
Best regards,
Joanne
P.S. No home should be without an Exotic Shih Tzu!

yard. He also loves to sleep on the back of the couch watching the neighbors
through the windows. He lets us know whenever ANYTHING is on our lawn!! He still
sings like his Mom.

I told my fiancé, Jeremy, all about our conversation and
he and I would definitely like to be put on your wait list for a black female
puppy. As I mentioned on the phone, we are getting married in early
September and would love to get a puppy anytime after that. (mid to late
September or early October). We are going to look at our calendars and find a
Saturday that we can come out to meet you and the dogs. I will let you
know as soon as we pick a date.
Thank you so much,

Dear Heidi -
A year ago I purchased the most adorable bundle of puppy from you who I named
Chloe. Well, just wanted to write and let you know she is my pride and
joy. Chloe just turned 1 year old and is the best dog. She weighs a
little over 9.5 lbs and has been house broken for about 2 months. From all
I have read that is pretty good. All the books say that Shih Tzu puppies
are very stubborn about training them to go outside.
I recently purchased a little house down in
Virginia about 20 minutes from my Daughter and her family. My 2 grandsons
l-o-v-e Chloe or should I say she loves them. They are 8 and 4 and every
so gentle with her because she is so small. Chloe, from day 1, has been an
excellent car rider. For a 7 or 8 hour drive I hardly know she is in the
car. In fact, I have to persuade her to make a "pit stop".
She has the cutest crooked teeth. It gives her such
personality and boy does she have a personality. She isn't a "morning
dog". She is asleep by 8 - 8:30 PM (I usually carry her to bed, seriously)
and doesn't get off my bed until 7:30 - 8 AM. I am up, showered and
usually having breakfast before she decides to get her lazy bones up. She
has quite a few toys and loves to play with all of them. She has one that
I got her when I first brought her home. She loves that one the most.
It was 4 times bigger than her then and now they are about the same size.
At least once a day she thinks the house is a race track and races around from
kitchen through living room into dining room and back through kitchen as fast as
her little legs can carry her several times without stopping.
Well, just wanted to let you know how happy I
am with Chloe. People are amazed at her temperament. She loves
everyone and everything including birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc. She sits
on the deck with her little head through the deck posts just watching the birds
and other animals we have in the yard. She never barks at them just
watches.
Attached is a picture of my angel, Chloe of
Akeru. I like to keep her face short because the love that comes from
those eyes is what is keeping me going. Thank you for breeding such a
special dog.

research on many types I have come to the conclusion that the Shih-Tzu breed
fits me and my lifestyle perfectly. I looked through your site (wonderful
display) and I feel really comfortable with how you bring up your babies. I am
looking to purchase my new puppy by the end of July the latest (hopefully
sooner). Please let me know which puppies you currently have available (color,
size, sex, age, price and their ready date). I am really excited after talking
to many breeders as other options as well and can not wait to hear from you.
Thank you! Sharena

Lolly is thrilled to be here. It is amazing. No anxiety.
Only joy. My goodness. She made herself right at home and pounced on her bed as
if to say, "I knew you were coming with me!" My mom is absolutely thrilled. She
says that Lolly is a happiest little dog she has ever known and she thinks she
is wonderful beyond words.
(and very smart!)
Teeny Martini was a little sleepy at first. We tried karo
syrup....no....we tried water....no....we tried LIVERWURST and he came alive.
After 4 or 5 licked off fingerfulls of liverwurst, he tooled around the living
room without concern, cute as a button. Lolly has adopted him. At the moment he
is sleeping up against her in her pink bed (even though he has his own.) Jubilee
is watching carefully, and everyone has sniffed bottoms and noses. We are doing
very very well.
Mom tried to call you to tell you thanks, and how proud
she is of her, and how wonderful little Lolly is, however your phone is
continually busy. So this quick email.
Talk to you soon. It was wonderful, inspirational, to meet
you. Your boutique is by far the best I have ever seen, and I thought I had seen
them all. You leave them in the dust for finery and quality and decor...and you
are reasonably priced, even your expensive items.
So Lollypops' bed is comfortably settled next to and up
against the couch on an angle where she can see mom and mom can see her. Next to
her bed is a small sheep skin covered stairway (that she used immediately) to go
up and down onto and off of the couch. Next to that is a special bed pillow with
a flannel cover for her to sit on to be next to or between moms legs. This she
also immediately understood and has very much enjoyed.
Thank you for all the joy you spread in the world.

Hi Heidi and Beth,
I can't believe how quickly time has flown by - I haven't
been in touch since we picked up Piper (Hollywood/Hershey pup) at the very
beginning of March. She has been an absolute joy and we continue to have more
fun with her each day. Your website doesn't lie - she literally stops traffic
(we have had people pull over in front of oncoming traffic to find out what kind
of dog she is and where we got her) and with each walk we meet more neighbors
wanting to play with her.
I just wanted to thank you and show you some pictures of
her with her favorite toys (I don't have any pictures of her fetching tennis
balls, but I've never met a Shih Tzu who likes to retrieve like she does!).
Thanks again. I know when we're ready for pal for Piper we
will be coming back to you!
Best,
Molly

I live in MA and am very interested in owning and loving a Shih Tzu. My future

occasion when she's on vacation, and have fallen in love with the breed. A few
months ago, my Cairn Terrier, Lucy, passed away. We miss her and love small
dogs, so I'm exploring the possibility of buying one soon. I'm interested in a
male, black, that would not be more than 10 pounds. I'm a teacher and have the
summers free, so its a great time to spend with a pup. I'm curious if you have a
pup available, and what the asking price would be.

Hi, my name is
Christy, I'm 29, I live in Wantage, NJ with my husband Jeremy, and I'm in love
with your Shih Tzus. I've checked all the websites looking for a new Shih
Tzu puppy and yours seems to be the best (I'm on it almost every day).
It's apparent how much you love and care for your puppies and that's really
important to us. Our Shih Tzu, Todo (our baby), recently had to be put to
sleep about a month ago. She got sick and we couldn't let her suffer, but
she had a happy life with us for 12 years and brought us so much joy. We
really would like to get another Shih Tzu, and as soon as possible. Please
let us know what puppies you have available and when we could see them. If
possible, we would like a small small female, maybe dark chocolate. The
one on your site with blue eyes is gorgeous! - but we would love any of them.
My husband is in love with your Tokyo Rose and her toothy grin! Anyway, we
look forward to hearing from you soon - please.
Thanks,

Comments: My name is Mar and we are looking for a puppy
that wants to be part of our family. Our dog just passed and our other dog is
just too sad, as are we. The policy in our home, dogs can go out in our fenced
yard when they want and can also stay in. Though they do not sleep on our bed,
they do have nice fluffy beds of their own next to our bed. Personally I do not
care the colors, they are cute no matter the color. I prefer female but will not
breed her. I leave that to the professionals. I would just like to have a puppy
rather sooner then later.

best little puppy ever!!!! He is everything Heidi said he would be. When I
brought him home at 12 weeks old he was already trained to go on the wee wee
pads. He is such a happy little independent puppy. He goes from one toy to the
next. Forget it when he is in the backyard he runs around like a little bunny
rabbit. He has brought so much joy to me and my family. I would HIGHLY recommend
Heidi and
Exotic Paws
to anyone looking for a puppy.
P.S. Also if you get a chance visit the store it is packed with great stuff!!!

We purchased a little black/grey
boy from you last summer.) Just wanted to let you know he is the best little guy
in the world. He is the most gentle lovable dog we have ever had. From the day
we brought him home he never had an accident, always went on the we we pads.
His color is black and grey in
layers, sort of like a skunk. When we walk him cars stop and tell us how
beautiful he is.
Just wanted to say thank you.

You came so highly recommended from the Logins (who got a female
pup from you about a year ago) that I wanted to check and see who you might have
available now or in the near future. We recently lost a 15 year old lab and
would love a Shih Tzu puppy to join our family.
I've looked on your website, and it mentioned
that you had some that were due in April. If you could please contact me with
info about how you work, and if you do have any available pups, that would be
great.
Thanks so much,

I would like to use you as my breeder. I am willing to spend up to $2,000 for my

bought her from in South Florida no longer breeds and I have had a hard time
finding a Shih Tzu as beautiful as Lucy. After looking at your website, I was so
happy... the dogs looked gorgeous and some were very similar looking to ours.
Lucy is brindle and white...but I thought the chocolate brown with blue eyes on
your site was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I would love to meet them and see pictures
and prices of what you have available. We think it's time to explore the idea of
getting a companion for Lucy.
My parents
have Lucy's brother from the same litter but they live in Florida and Lucy
barely sees him. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you!

 Hey
Heidi,
Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with Jazzie. He is such a great puppy, we
are very pleased. We've had him a little over a month now and its been a great
experience so far. His health is good and he has been growing a lot. Thank you
very much for raising such a cute bundle of joy. I'm sending some pics of him
that I've taken lately. Hope all is well with you and the store. Please let me
know when you have events at the store so I can come with Jazzie.
Once again thanks a million... Yohanna

Maggie and I
have made it though the first month together...she is a doll. Just had her 4
month vet check-up, she's gained 1 pound... now up to 4.5 lbs. She is
perfectly paper trained, not one accident!
And... She
sleeps through the night...what more can I ask for!
She is
camera shy, but I was able to sneak in a few pictures...thought you would like
to see these....

Hi,
I have recently started doing
research on Shih Tzus as I am interested in welcoming one into my home. I
have been to many different websites and yours has impressed me the most.
At first I was just going to go to a pet shop. This is all new to me, and
I really want to make sure I know what I am doing before I get one. Can
you take me through the process? I mean when I became a new mother of my
first born he didn't come with instructions! Although I did have guidance,
and learned as I went along. I am nuts about dogs, and have missed not
having one, since I was single. (25years ago) I want to be well prepared
before I do it. I live in Queens, so I am not too far away from you.
Please get back to me with more info.
Thank You very much,
Antoinette

Color: they are all so pretty
Gender: Female
Weight: 6 to 8 lbs.
Season: Fall
For: A Family Pet
Comments: You have absolutely gorgeous pups - Bonnie & Clyde are breathe taking
- but the tiny black and white female and Buttons are stunning as well. I am
searching for a breeder but am not quite ready to buy yet. We just lost our
little Meechie girl (tiny Shih Tzu) to cancer at 3 years of age....we spent a
fortune trying to save Her but it was not to be. I think by the fall we will be
ready to get a new pup. We prefer a smaller pup because we travel from our
Florida home to Staten Island about 4 times a year - small pups are easier to go
into a tote if we have to stop - I hate seeing pups in a car alone! Our kids are
all grown so small is safe here. I will keep looking at your website and
watching your pups - we will be on Staten Island the end of June to the first
week of July and then again mid Sept. Either one of those times I hope there is
a litter we can purchase from. I am very impressed with the way your dogs look -
some of the ones on other websites look unkempt and rather dirty. I like that I
can come pick up the pup and not have it flown. It is important to meet the pup
first. I'm so glad I found your website - I finally feel like I have found a
place to buy a new pup. I look forward to meeting you.

 Hi
Heidi -
Ralph wanted to say hi and that he is doing very well - He LOVES the snow, he
cries to go out in it and loves to run and chase the snowballs. He
is really good with the baby, in fact he hears her before we do. Although he
likes her toys better than his. We were thinking of changing his name to The
Black Face Bandit.

I'm Sheila. (Luis's wife) I don't speak English well but
my husband does. I would like to have a Chocolate male or a White and Chocolate
Female. Please call me or reply with the price list because I want the puppy
ASAP but it depends of the cost of the baby and the shipping. Thanks
I like your guarantee and believe it or not, that makes
me think that you are an excellent breeder and also have excellent dogs.
Congratulations!!!

Hi Heidi and Beth,
I am writing to let you guys know that my little baby is doing good. The first
night I slept in the living room while he was in his crate to make sure he was
fine. He cried a little, the first night but he is doing much better. BIG PLUS
on the wee wee pads he did not have any accident on the floor. He also last
night let out his first bark, after the cats. He follows the cats around the
house and is doing great, my husband and a lot of my neighbors loved him. Thank
you so much for raising a wonderful baby, I am really happy. Everything is going
smooth he is eating, Beth explained he might not eat the first night. My cats
are getting used to him too and everyone in the house is happy. I will update
you guys on his progress and eventually send pictures of him. Thank you again
for a great baby.

Heidi,
I am probably one of your worst customers, but Richard & I
will make it up to you in 2008! I really want to say Thank You! Thank You! Thank
You! Thank You!
I can honestly say I always wanted a cinnamon
"Daschund"! Back in October of 2006 I went w/Ms. Evelyn's god-daughter to see
your babies! It was love @ first sight! I brought my husband & neighbor back the
next evening because my husband was not keen on a small dog he wanted a
"Rottweiler"! Needless to say @ the end of a wonderful & informative evening my
husband wanted a puppy sired by "Tattoo", my husband loves "Tattoo" & I loved
"Hollywood" which my husband could not fathom ( I think she has such a cutie
face & her eyes are adorable) I know this is why I baby my "Gucci" & spoil him
rotten when he gives me that smoochie eye look! Hollywood's puppies Rock! My
husband said he would buy me one chocolate puppy for my birthday instead of a
Louis Vuitton bag!
Since our Puppies were not born until May 2007 & July
2007 ( I ended up w/the handbag & the puppies : ) who would have thought that it
would be such a wait for a chocolate puppies! I hope everyone noticed I started
typing the word puppies! We ended up w/two then a third : ) I have to give you
"Props" on suggesting "two puppies" with our work schedule they keep each other
company & they blame each other & tell on each other! Just like kids "It wasn't
me"! We thank you for your patience, breeder knowledge & entertaining
Saturday's! We have found such good friends in your family, Marge & Beth!
I hope to forward pic's of "Louie Vuitton", "Gucci" &
"Burberry" just like my handbags "worth every penny" & everybody wants them in
"Greenlawn" New York, because I had them First! So many people @ "Grooming on
Broadway" always want to look @ my dogs & I am not lying when I say that it's
"OMG that is such an exotic color, Are you sure it's a Shih Tzu? What's the name
of the Breeder? What's the website name? & "Do you really need three puppies are
you interested in selling (person received a dirty smirky look & I didn't even
tell my husband because those are fighting words to a man that previously wanted
a Rottweiler). My groomer gets so much walk in traffic from customers coming in
to find out what kind of dogs I have! My boys go every other week to the
groomer, they may be all boys, but they are metrosexual dogs ( I give them the
diva treament of Hair & Nails every other week just like their Ma! Yes I am a
Brat!!! But I know you love us anyway!
 Today
is Valentine's Day & we just wanted to give you a shout out of "Onelove" & say
"You "r" Simply the Best! We will do dinner again soon & it's on us this time
(You have been so generous to Richard & I)! Our Love as Always to You, Michael,
your "Diva Girl's", Marge & Beth!
Sandy, Richard, "Gucci, Louie & Burberry" in "Greenlawn
NY"

Heidi,
We took Gumby (my husband's idea for a name) to the vet
today and she checked out with flying colors. I wasn't sure what she has had for
vaccinations and the dates that she had them or any other treatments, so my vet
wanted me to get back to him on that. He said that she was in perfect health and
one of the best representations of the Shih Tzu breed that he has EVER seen. We
are beyond pleased with her. She's a doll.

Dear Heidi-
My husband and I live in Fishkill, New York. We have been doing a lot of
research on adopting puppies and which breed would be best for us. We are
absolutely in love with the Shih Tzu. Growing up in a home in which many
extended family members lived, one of my cousins had a Shih Tzu and I always
said if I could get a dog, they would be the one. And when I saw your Mr.
Buttons, I got tears in my eyes, because not only was our doggy's name Buttons,
but our Buttons looks EXACTLY like your Mr. Buttons. When I saw him, I just knew
I had to e-mail you....I felt like it was meant to be! Long Island is a hop,
skip, and a jump from us, so if we do decide to adopt from you it'll be
perfect!
I have been searching high and low for a good breeder and some don't have
websites, and the ones that do haven't really appealed to me the way your site
did. So much fantastic information and beautiful pictures! You answered so many
of my questions-although I am ALWAYS full of questions and still have some more
for you! Just a little information about us and what we hope to accomplish...my
husband and I are both teachers, he teaches middle school and I teach
elementary. We just got married in July. Our plan would (hopefully) be to get
our new little darlings in June or July so we can spend a good amount of time
with them before September. We also thought that adopting two might make the
transition a little easier on them (what do you think of that?). We have the
space, so it's not a big deal and I'd be in
heaven
with two pups!
If you could just provide us with any basic information
about the process of how/when/which dogs will be breeding, a time line for
receiving pups, the cost (which is the nerve wracking part!), and any other
information you might be able to give us to make our decision easier, we'd
appreciate it. Thank you so much! Your website just made my day! We look forward
to hearing from you!
All the Best,
Janine and Paul
Fishkill, NY

I think the breed you sell are just wonderful and why I
wrote!
Wanted to let you know that I am a CT author who just
wrote a book called 'Pet E.R. Guide' which is a directory of 24-hour and
after-hour veterinary facilities in the U.S. I wrote it because of the
difficulty getting help when traveling.
Knowing that you deal with our companion animals, I hope
you will have an opportunity to look at this book and also tell people about
this book.
If you have any questions, please call. And, another
website you may be interested in is
www.galacticpet.com, this website was
created by a CT veterinarian. An excellent resource for your business too.

Heidi, Thank you so much for Ebony. We named her Piper. She is absolutely
the sweetest little thing. She has made herself at home already chasing my
cocker spaniel and cat all around the house. I can tell she has already been
well socialized. I had my boyfriend bring her to me at work after he picked her
up and all of my co workers are in love. She is just such a happy puppy. She
loves her crate and went potty instantly every time I took her out. I just
wanted to tell you that my boyfriend and I are so pleased. I hope you don't mind
if I give my customers your website when they ask where I got such a doll. I
will defiantly keep in touch and send pictures. Thank you.

Hi Heidi,
I know that Gail has been trying to get some pictures of Mias little girl we are
both very excited and we are looking forward to this with great anticipation. I
would like to know at what point would we be able to come and see her. If
you remember I told you that we have miniature horses . I would need to
make arrangements to have our barn sitter be on hand for the day to take care of
the horses. We are approx. four hours away and would have to those
arrangements made with her in advance. We have bred an shown many animals
of the years we recognize
QUALITY
and breeding ability. That is why we chose you for a dog because
of your BREEDING ABILITY AND THE QUALITY YOU
PRODUCE. I am sure that things must be very hectic for you all
setting up your new store so when you get a breather please let me know when we
could come down to see her and until that time a picture would do.
Kindest regards,
Larry

Heidi,
Thanks again for having this little guy available when I really needed him.
Having Lily and now him helps greatly since the loss of Chester.
We named him Oliver. He is such a mush baby.
Our little puppy girl Lily watched him since we brought him home Friday
and yesterday the playing began. She is gentle with him and he follows her
around. He is the calm to her crazy. They are so cute together.
Beth was very helpful, organized and a very sweet lady.
Hope your holiday/vacation was great. Happy New Year!
Thanks again,
Christine |

 Hi
Heidi,
Our Shih Tzu Penny is now 4 months old. She is 5.5 lbs and is truly a joy to
have around. She certainly has a great disposition, and has added a new
dimension to our family.
We took her to the Blessing of the Animals service early in October at St.
James church where she was blessed by Fr. Vinny. We are truly grateful to have
her. My daughter Annmarie is acting responsibly with taking care of her. As an
active child, Penny helps to calm her….
Check out the attached photo of Annmarie Grace with Grandma Grace and Penny..
Feel free to use us as a reference any time.
Regards, Joanne - Puppy Mom
P.S. Let me know when you open the grooming salon, she will need a hair cut
soon…..

  Hi
Heidi,
I just wanted to write you a
quick note and let you know that I am absolutely in love with Bailey (Lola & Mr.
Buttons) born 4/29/07. My daughter Sarah loves him a great deal and thank
god he has the best personality and temperament because she pushes him around in
her doll carriage.
Bailey also gives my parents
Tippy (aka Oliver) I think he was a shy puppy who has the ALL lines. Well
the two boys play together great and hard they are sooooo funny. We are
just in love with him and I would not trade him for the world.
Thanks,
Juliana, Rob & Sarah

Heidi:
Nutmeg has been such a wonderful addition to our lives. We have this on
going joke in our house...How many traffic stops today? This originated
because when I first talked to you you said "my dogs are traffic stoppers!"
We laughed at the time but now understand!. Everyone absolutely loves
Nutmeg (and his coloring)!
What really impresses me is Nutmeg's wonderful
temperament and disposition. When he greets strangers he just sits and
wags his tail and waits for them to make the first move. He is very, very
good with kids too. On a daily basis he brightens my day.
Thanks Heidi, we would recommend Exotic Shih Tzu any
day.

  Hi
Heidi, just wanted to send you some updated photos of Sophie and Hudson,
Hudson's on the left in both photos. Sophie in a glamour shot. They are
doing great! except for housebreaking that is. They love to go for long walks.
Sophie prances, Hudson loves to play with balls. They both got rave reviews at
the groomer there first time. They are weighing in at about 6&7 pounds! People
have to stop and check them out when we go for our walks. Hope all is well.
We will stop by so potential clients can see two of your
cutest puppies!

The
girls had a whirlwind week celebrating Valentine's Day and
Westiminster and attended a few events. I thought I would
send you pictures of them dressed up for the galas that they
went to. Lola went to an Animal Fair gala at The Muse
Hotel which benefitted the Humane Society and made her debut.
Everyone was snapping pictures of her and thought she was just
beautiful. she wore a mint green dress with feathers which
she proceeded to pull off (the feathers) as soon as I turned my
back! Kahlua went to Skybark on Friday night and made a
great hit. She wore a brown chiffon dress to go with her
coloring and everyone thought she was just gorgeous. They
were both well-behaved. I also took Lola to a Yappy Hour
last night and she met more people who thought she was so, so
gorgeous!
