I have had 8 Shih Tzu in my life time. I still have the last one she is 17 years old her name is Dixie. She is the love in my life. I have had many opportunities to care for dogs, they seem to love me and know that I am a good person. I think dogs are very sensitive and know this about people. I treat them with love and respect I would want to meet each pet owner , so that each job is decided at that point. I want the customer to be comfortable with me, and to know that I am comfortable with the pet. At that point we would reach an agreement. Honesty and respect for the client the dog and myself is very important.
