I am happy I met Michael & Tammy. They were always available when I had questions. She is very thorough. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a shih tzu

Communication was amazing. I had to delay my pickup of sweet Mary and they worked with me. I got the vaccination record, the shot for her microchip, and pick up was very smooth
