"Our shih-chon Bogey was born January 14th 2008, and is almost 10 months old. I don't know how to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with him. He is the most lovable, playful, precious puppy I have ever come in contact with. We live in Old Philadelphia, and everyone in the area talks about how adorable he is, and what a wonderful personality and disposition he has. He loves to play with the other dogs in the neighborhood and is not timid around big dogs. He has wonderful instincts and knows which dogs to play with. He's friendly with all of the neighbors and everybody loves him. He's very healthy and he was easy to train. He's very smart and is a wonderful companion. My husband Jim and I are madly in love with him. Thanks again for the gift of Bogey." Jim and Suellen Weiner
"We are so very pleased that we took your advice and purchased our two shih-poos Coca and Onyx so that they have each other to play with and also keep us entertained. Their different personalities make them seperate but completely compatible. They both enjoy swimming in the pool, car rides in the golf cart and in the car, and they love meeting everyone they meet along the way. You did a wonderful job in preparing them for their life of leisure in South Carolina. They have no fears or phobias because of your breeding skills and nurturing abilities. If we could, we would have 10 more! Thank you for all of your advice and for having a wonderful breeding kennel. We could not imagine retirement without them! Karen and Tom Shaffer ~~ South Carolina
" Our doc-chon Megan is the sweetest, happiest little lady and I don't know how we ever lived without her! She is madly in love with her "people" and her big "doggie" brothers and sisters. It is so funny to watch her little short legs, as she chases the dogs through the back yard. What a tough little cookie she is! She enjoys swimming and going along in the motor home. She has never met a stranger. I am most amazed with Megan's respect and gentleness with our children. She is wonderful with them. She follows them everywhere, needing to be in the action or just cuddling up for a nap. She is incredibly bright and a gentle little one. As you can tell we adore her greatly." Stacey Galiardo and Family
"Our doc-chon, Yogi is 6 months old. We couldn't love this guy more. He is smart, funny, and such a cuddler. He has the sweetest, big eyes and such a pleasant disposition. He does so many tricks and was so easy to train, he is simply a joy! We were so pleased with our experience at TLC Kennel. We will definitely be back when we get Yogi a playmate!" Jessica Carafa
"We love our little Shih-Poo, Molly. She is smart, sweet and very affectionate! Thanks for your efforts in breeding a well adjusted and socialized little puppy! Since adopting Molly, we referred two other families who have also adopted Shih-Poo's from TLC Kennel". Sandy ~~ Mullica Hill, NJ
"This is our adorable little miniature dachshund Maggie. Since adopting her is September 2007, we have had a wonderful year with our new best friend. We travel many miles with Maggie enjoying the ride. She loves to meet new people, and she always greets them with licks and a wagging tail. Maggie is very trainable and is currently completing her obedience classes. She is a tiny dachshund - weighing only 7 pounds - but she lights up a room with a charm. She has a sweet disposition and brings joy to everyone she meets. Thank you, TLC Kennel, for making our family complete!" Donna and Bob D'Agostino ~ Mechanicsburg, PA
Bichon / Doc-chon
"We first got our Bichon Frise Pearl Veteran’s Day weekend 2006. She was the best first puppy any one could ask for. We just loved her and her sweet personality. This spring we decided Pearl needed a friend. We looked on TLC’s website and found the little dox-chon we fell in love with. We brought little Dottie home in July and she just fits into our family great. Everyone who meets them says they are beautiful with great personalities." Frank, Sandy, Vickie Lazowski
"Gabby our shih-chon has been such a pleasure to have as an addition to our family. Some of the training has been rough, but she has made such a difference. Both of my parents are handicapped,and she has a different temperament with them than she does with me.I honestly can't imagine life without her. Thanks so much for what you do." Loveta ~~ Maryland
Shih-chon
"We bought Wally our Shih-chon on Januray 20th, and couldn't be happier. He is the best puppy, and we are just head over heels in love with him. He has been really easy to train, and is great around kids and other dogs. He loves going on walks and playing with his toys, and us of course. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job getting him ready for our home. I couldn't imagine life without him." Heather Cole ~~ Herndon,VA
Shih-chon
"I cannot beleive that my shih-poo Zoe has been with me for only 8 months. I feel as though it has been forever. In a good way. There are no words to express the joy and love she brings to me and all who meet her. She will be trained as a therapy dog, and go to hospitals and nursing homes to visit elderly and sick people. I want others who really need it, to get a little of her love. Thank you for bringing her into my life." Robin
"I purchased my favorite dachshund girls, Daisy and Spirit in November 2003. They are the joy of my life. Thank You for raising such wonderful companions."
Winnie
"My fiance and I purchased our shih-poo Mika in August of 2006 and since then our world has revolved around our furry little baby. She was very easy to train, and gets along great with other dogs, cats, and even bunnies!! Mika is the greatest companion. She loves to be around people, and follows me everywhere I go. She loves her daily 2 mile walk, and enjoys playing fetch, and cuddling in bed. She is the most adorable, perfect dog in the entire world!!" Kate and Brian Travers ~~ Allentown, Pa
"Daisy joined our family in January 2008. She has brought so much joy to our family. We new immediately that Daisy was the one for us. She came through the doorway with so much energy; no bigger that a baby bunny but with so much spunk. Daisy is a very smart, playful, happy, healthy, pampered puppy. We are amused by her inability to greet anyone on all four legs. The moment an admirer approaches her she heads for the ground and rolls on her back---bearing her belly. We look forward to many years of many good times with her. Thanks to TLC Kennel we have an awesome addition to our family." The Kasuba's ~~ Potomac Falls, VA
Shih Tzu
"I just wanted to thank you for the two most wonderful puppies in the world. It is so much fun having them both. Potty-training has not been nearly as bad as one might have anticipated. The puppies are both very social and everyone that we see just adores them. We take them to the puppy store quite frequently and needless to say it's a couple of hours again until we leave because everyone wants to pet and hold them. Thanks again for raising both of our wonderful puppies!" Sam and Linda
Shih chon
"Our doc-chon Oscar is 5 months old in this picture. He is absolute the delight of our family. We waited many years to get our first puppy and it was the best thing we could have done. He is great with kids, and they are great with him. It is a delightfully and interresting mix, we have had nothing but positive comments since we got him. Thank you!"
Tom and Kim Hissick
"Here is Duffy - he is a joy to have in our family. He is a quick learner and loves to go for hikes and play with his various toys. He will soon be graduating from puppy Kindergarten classes. He is very independent and entertains himself. Hope all is well with you guys, take care and thank you!" Selina
Shih-poo
" We wanted to let you know how happy we are with our shih-poo, Bailey. She is just a doll-baby and we feel very blessed to have found her. Since she entered our lives in December 2007, we have been enjoying every minute of her sweet personality and adorable little puppy self. She is an absolute joy and spoils us just as much as we spoil her! She is happy all the time, greets everyone with a wagging tail and a multitude of kisses and gets along easily with all creatures big, small and furry! Even the vet and groomer have a hard time giving her back to us. Please keep up the great job you are doing at TLC and we hope to keep referring more people to you in the future." Jeanie and Jonathan Barr
"We got our adorable Opal from you last year in July 2007. Opal is a total joy to have and a wonderful addition to our family. Everyone loves Opal. She plays well with other dogs and kids. She loves to give kisses and wants to be held when she is tired. you can't help but chuckle when you look at her. She is so funny to watch running around and playing with her big "sisters". She steals everything and hides it under our dining room table including toys from her "sisters", paper, throw rugs and pillows. She doesn't just look bad ... she is bad!! We couldn't love her more!! Brett and Laura Raifsnider
Dachshund
"This is my Shih-chon Bonnie Blue at 7 1/2 months old. She is a dear thing, and was very easy to house break. She is the love of our house, and I don't know what I would do without her. She is a very happy little girl who loves her walks everyday, is a good eater, a good sleeper, and loves to play with any big toy that makes noise. She is a joy to have." Vivian Gayeskie ~ Camp Hill, PA
Shih-chon
"I purchased a beautiful Shih-chon named Diamond in March. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. My girls just love her to death. She is flying through puppy obedience classes, and is the star. She is very happy, and loves being around our other dogs. She loves to lick, is very loveable and sweet, and helps you if you are feeling blue or mad." Natasha Boyd
"I purchased my Doc-chon in December. I immediately fell in love with the little bundle of fur. She fits in perfectly with our other 5 dogs. She loves to play chase and also loves to swim in our pool. She enjoys snuggling up with us in bed and going for car rides. She was very easy to house break, and is a real pleaser. I enjoyed working with the staff at TLC Kennel." Jaryn Trago ~ Willow Street PA
"We got our shih-chon George from you last November. Since he has come into our life he has made everything a thousand times happier. He loves to cuddle and play and drive around everywhere with me in the car. He is so well behaved that I get to take him everywhere with me! He loves all of the attention that he gets when we go out. He has travelled all over the country and loves every minute of it. He is such a character. The bichon and shih-tzu mix is just unbeatable." Anna-Maija Webb
"Bella, our bichon is now 4 months old and is absolutely a perfect and beautifl little girl! She is in puppy kindergarten now and is doing really well. She is learning to use poochie bells as part of housetraining which is going very well also. She is so sweet and just loves to meet new people and dogs everyday. I just can't imagine life without Bella in our family." Sandy Tomlinson
"I purchased my shih-chon last year. Not a day goes by that I am not reminded by him that I made the best decision of my life. He has brought such joy and happiness into my life. He was very easy to train, and loves to be around children and is just a joy to have around. I thank you for what you do, and I hope you know how great of a job you do when it comes to adding a new member, to the families who purchase their dogs from you." Alison McGowan
