Hi Pat,
Thank you so much for the new addition to our Shih tzu family. Riley makes three...yes, I need my head examined, but he is just so darn cute. Sted (5 yr old Black Shih Tzu) and Mum (10 yr old Gold/White Shih Tzu)are being kept on their toes with Riley around. He is very playful and fun and doing all the things puppies do at 12 weeks old. His color is still on the darker side. Not sure whether he will remain red/white or more of a dark gold/white. He is very cute, regardless. I might have myself a little show dog after all...LOL Thanks again for the beautiful puppy.
I have to admit I was leary coming out to Lancaster PA for a puppy. But you were so sweet from the beginning, it just seemed like the right thing. I even checked with my local breeder (where I got Sted and Mum from in NJ) and she felt the pedigree was excellent as well. It was a 2.5 hour drive, but well worth it. I did have concerns of the puppy mills in PA but when I drove down your street and saw the beautiful neighborhood, met your family and saw what a great home you kept for the puppies, I knew it was perfect.
Thanks again for everything! I will send you some pictures of Riley for the website. By the way, your website looks fantastic. And, Dugan looks identical to my Stedman. How cute is he!!!
Hope you had a Happy 4th of July!!!!
Jill
