Cutie Patootie ShihTzu!
Almost 8 years ago, our family began our search for our first dog. That is when we met Cat, and brought home our sweet Jaxon, who has blessed our family beyond description. He quickly became our best friend, a companion who has brought us more love and joy than we ever imagined possible. Many people often comment on how friendly and playful Jaxon is. There is no doubt that he is a special dog! Last spring, we decided that we should bring home a little friend for our Jaxon. We reconnected with Cat, and soon fell in love with our darling little Beau. From the moment he was born, Beau captured our hearts. Full of love and kisses, he is a sweet puppy, with a gentle disposition. With a bounce in his step, Beau explores his environment with wonder and awe. He looks to Jaxon as his mentor, and learns very quickly from him. It is so cute to watch as he follows his big buddy around the house!
Blessed to live close to Cat, we were able to visit Beau regularly once he was born. Not only did we gain a puppy, but we have developed a dear friendship with Cat. She is a special lady, who loves her dogs, and works tirelessly to provide a good first home for them. The well-being of her dogs is a top priority for Cat. She considers their needs, and works to make sure that they are properly socialized in their first weeks of life. As a result of Cat’s expertise, Beau’s transition to our home was amazingly smooth. Cat has been wonderful to answer my questions and offer advice on both of our dogs. She clearly loves Beau and Jaxon dearly, considering them to be part of her family. Both of our “cutie patooties” have blessed our home and our hearts! We are forever grateful to Cat!

Cat is wonderful to work with. We got Ivy in December. She has been the best puppy. Her temperament could not be better. Cat did a great job socializing her before it was time for us to bring her home. She came to us already being use to having her nails clipped and hair brushed. She has had no fear of load noises. Most of all she loves everyone and is so friendly.
Cat is so responsive. She is willing to answer any question at anytime. When you message her she usually responds within minutes. She is extremely knowledgeable about her puppies. While waiting to get Ivy she sent pictures and videos on a weekly basis and kept me up to date on how Ivy was doing.
When I picked her up she sent her home with a care package. It included a lot of the things I needed to care for my puppy when we got home.
Even after bringing her home Cat is still always quick to answer any question I have.
When it comes time to get another puppy it will definitely be from Cat.

My husband and I received our little girl, Jancy, in May via pet nanny! I will say that we have not ever seen such a smart, loveable and sassy pup before. She's A #1 with us. We took her for her second grooming and the groomer said that she is of good quality. She has been in the grooming business for years and knows quality when she sees it. Cat has always been available via the phone or fb messenger. She has been a pleasure to deal with. I would buy another one from her in a heartbeat.

We made the decision to add Willa to our family when she was around 4 weeks old. She's now 4 months old and we couldn't imagine life without her. Cat has been amazing to work with. She's kept in contact with me from day one and always sent updated pics of Willa while in her care. She's answered any questions I've had along the way and has almost immediately always responded to pm's. Willa is such a doll and we absolutely love her. We couldn't be more happy.

Getting our little Rosko from Cutie Patootie Shihtzu has been the best investment we have made. Cat was and has been such a great breeder to work with. As soon as Rosko was born she let us know and sent us pictures on a regular basis so we could see him grow up. Cat made sure Rosko was loved and very well taken care of. She also let us come see him on a weekly basis so that when we brought Rosko home, he already knew who we were and we were already a family. Even after we brought Rosko home, Cat was always available if we had any questions or concerns about our little puppy. Rosko is still a puppy but it feels like we have had him forever and is a very happy member of our family and I believe that is due to not only his love he gets at home, but also the love and care he got for his first 9 weeks.

I can't say enough good things about Cat at Cutie Patootie Shih Tzu, we are so pleased with our little puppy, Jax. He is such a good little boy. Cat has been so supportive from the time I first contacted her about Jax until present. This is our first puppy so we have a lot of questions and she responds so quickly...almost immediate. Thanks for bringing Jax into our lives Cat...we are all in love with him!!

UPDATE: They loved Jax so much that they have since added Rosie to their home! I just love repeat buyers!!

Jules 7 months and 6.2 lbs. Looking beautiful just like her mom. Thank again for our sweet girl.

We have been shih tzu owners for 17 years, and can tell you they are the sweetest and most loyal little dogs you can find. We are so glad we found Cat. It is nice buying from someone that babies their dogs and loves them as much as she does. We couldn't be happier with our Jules. She is such a happy, healthy puppy. She is a little ball of energy. But is always ready to snuggle when we are. Thanks for such a wonderful puppy!

As a repeat buyer, I proudly recommend Cutie Patootie Shih Tzu. Cat provides a clean environment at all times, answered any questions or concerns I had regarding the care of my new fur baby, and always offers a welcoming feeling. As a buyer I couldn't be more pleased with my girls or the breeding program at
Cutie Patootie ShihTzu.

I am a breeder of Australian shepherds, and this has always been my breed of choice until Sammy came into my life. He has brought much joy and happiness that I can’t even begin to describe. He never ceases to amaze me with his antics throughout the day. I love his temperament and looks, his loyalty, and I find him to be a dog that just wants to please me. And all of the things that I had heard negative about shih-tzu's, I found to be un-true with Cathy’s dogs. Cathy has done an awesome job in her breeding program. My Sammy boy fits right in with my Aussies and loves everybody. I will be forever grateful to Cathy and Shih Tzu place for our little wise guy Sammy. Cathy, thanks again, we love him.

What can we say about Giada? She never has a bad day. A bundle of energy, loves life, and always brings a smile to your face. On the darkest of days Giada brightens them for me. After getting Sammy, we had to come back for a baby sister. Giada is 7 months old now, and is the light of my life, all 7 pounds of her. As her name implies, she is a true diva. We officially named her “Giada BE A Diva?” and boy does it fit… she is destined to be the first in a line of wives for Kona! Thanks again Cathy for another great puppy

Since the first day I contacted Cat Anderson about purchasing a Shih Tzu she was very helpful and loves her dogs. I think it’s wonderful that she isn’t just a breeder, she’s actually a great owner and doesn’t just cage her dogs and use them for breeding; she actually loves and spoils them. Her puppies are just beautiful. When I first saw GiGi, I fell in love right away. She was the perfect match and I’m so glad Cat gave me the opportunity to bring Gigi into my life. I’m grateful and recommend anyone looking for more than just a pet as Gigi is family."
