We are dog lovers and have had dogs all our lives.  Therefore, we were impressed with the owner of Sassy Southern Shih Tzus.  She stayed in constant communication and answered all our questions.  As much as we cared about where Teddy was coming from, she cared about the new home he was going to.  This is our daughter's first own dog.  It was hard to contain her to wait for her puppy.  However, it was well worth the wait.  She was very accommodating!  Teddy has brought nothing but joy to our lives.  He was easily potty trained and picked up commands quickly.  He is the perfect energy for our daughter and best friends to each other.  In the mornings, all we have to do is say our daughter's name and he is in her bed waking her up with kisses.  If he hears her feet, he is following her.  He has a wonderful personality; playful, lovable, and kind.  I would highly recommend Sassy Southern Shih Tzus for their excellent service and quality of dogs.  Our groomer has even commented on the softness of his coat and no eye drainage.
