I'm a happy, fun-spirited, responsible person and we all know dogs can sense those traits when they meet a new person! I have potty-trained and raised puppies! I have a shih-tzu of my own and he is 5 years old now, I got him when he was 2 months. He was sick as a baby and I nursed him back to health. A lot of dogs with squishy faces have problems breathing and I know what to do when they start having their breathing/panic attacks! I have never been afraid or intimidated by bigger dogs, I love dogs of all sizes. I truly believe they are man's best friend. I work from home on my computer, so my schedule is flexible! I can't wait to meet your pup!
