Sleepy Hollow Shih Tzu

Working with Anastasia was a delight! We found her to be very professional and accommodating. Our puppy is a healthy female shih tzu who is a joy to have in our household! She is absolutely beautiful and incredibly friendly. We would absolutely work with Anastasia again in the future!

I purchased an Imperial from this business on 1÷13÷2012. I was sold a very sick dog. He will be 3 years old on 7÷29÷2012. I was looking for an adult dog and I found this one. I fell in love immediately. When I went to pick him up the end of Dec. he had kennel cough so I did not take him then. I went back in 2 weeks and picked him up. I should have ran!!! The home was very dirty and so was the dog! There was a new litter of Imperials and a few other dogs around. There was also an adult female being shipped that afternoon.
It was only a couple of weeks and the health issues began. First it was seizures which ended up in ER and overnight hospital stay! Blood work up the works. I called Anastasia the owner breeder and she said she was unaware of this! In the next breath she said I had another dog I got from the same breeder in VA. and they were shipped together in the same crate! Ok had her there she did know! I asked he to do the right thing and reimburse my money. Also some of the medical bills. She said she would! The next was the poor dog was so underweight said at pick up he was 5 ½ lbs. when he was only 4 lbs. He was lethargic, sweet, loving but very sick. The next was the Giardia, then we had to have 10 teeth removed because of extreme periodontis disease! The dog would not have lived much longer the condition he was in. I spoke to her again she said keep me posted and always a family tragedy excuse for delaying the check.
I have sent her all the medical bills for proof. She said she had warned her fellow breeders about the breeder in VA. Apparently many have purchased from him. She said she sells adults from time to time nothing wrong with them just changing their breeding program! She said my dog never wanted to breed! Well Christ in his condition I am sure he had no interest.
I again told her do the right thing Anastasia pay back the money. I don’t want another dog you will never see him again. He is mine and I rescued him from you. This business is running a puppy mill and needs to be closed down asap! I have had no further communication with her and of course no reimbursement! I have a totally rebuilt dog. He is happy, well taken care of loved by all who know him. He is beautiful but with ongoing health issues. It has been a financial strain but love him and he is worth it. He has to have eye meds 3 times a day for the rest of his life, tested every 60 days and will probably lose his vision in time. All because of neglect! For all you dog lovers everywhere beware of this business till it is closed down for good!
I have all documentation to back up this review. I do not want anyone else to ever experience what I have.
