Dear Mommy Steffy,
I just wanted to say hello and see how you're doing. Mommy & I think of you so often, thank you for helping us find each other. I'm such a big boy, no more indoor potty mistakes and everyday I learn something new. I had my rabies & the last of my shots I weigh 8.5 pounds. Mommy thought I was overweight but they say no, I'm just right. And I'm tall too, whatever is left on the coffee tables and chairs, belongs to me since I'm quite the jumper ! I walk 3 times a day and Mommy has lost 22 pounds since she brought me home ! She even met a nice guy while we were at the park and they are dating now. The best part is he always brings me a treat when he comes to visit, so I love this dating thing !

Below is a picture of me in my new harness, it's time to go to the park .


Love always,


Deuce


P.S. Mommy says that my coat is beautiful. It's black on top and brown underneath and it almost makes me look chocolate (remember mommy wanted a chocolate at first). God is so amazing !

Hi Steffy! I just wanted to send you some pics and give you an update on Josie Lou's progress. She's doing wonderful. =) Not even 5 months old and potty trained. She goes right to the door...now if only I could teach her to whine a little in case i'm in a different room. Lol. She's very spunky and has so much energy. She just cracks us up! But she can also be very laid back - she knows when it's time to let mom and dad relax some. She's been sleeping in our bed with us for over a week now and she'll sleep for like 7 hours straight. She is definitely grandma's girl - my mom is just obsessed with her 'grandchild'. Haha! Josie goes everywhere with me, she has become quite the car-dog and loves to sit on my lap. She's up to date on all her shots and healthy as can be - weighing in at 5.7 lbs at her last vet visit...which was Oct. 2nd.

Hope all is well!! And thanks again for our baby - we love her so much!

Hi Steffy,
It has been quite a while, I know, but I thought I would send you an update on my little guy Cooper. He is most certainly the best little joy that has come into our lives. I waited 41 years to get a dog and I made the right choice in getting my little Coop. He brings many smiles to our face every day. I must say he is the king of the castle and knows it. He gets plenty of belly rubs and has established his spot in our bed. His personality is just amazing. I miss the little bugger when I am away for any length of time.

I am sure I will most likely come back for a sibling for Cooper. I check your website frequently to see who is looking for a home. I hope all is well with you. Cooper is doing awesome.

Hey Steffy, hope things are well. We just wanted to share with you some cute pics of Winnie. (Hope). She is SO cute and cuddly and we adore her beyond belief! She is very sweet and gentle, she also loves to give kisses. We are so lucky to have her. She weighs about 10 lbs. now and is still very fluffy and soft.

Thanks,

Hello Stefanie - just wanted to send you some updated pictures of Bongo. We absolutely love him. This was a birthday present for my daughters and me but he is a big time mama boys and I love it. He's my little shadow and just wants me to hold him all the time. He's just like my little baby. He's 5-1/2 months now and is about 4lbs. He is completely potty trained and is such a great dog. He loves his big brother Simon and Simon tolerates Bongo crawling, barking, and biting all over him. It's so cute. Thank you so much for our wonderful gift. He is just so precious to us.

Bailey is doing great she is such a sweet heart and an amazing puppy. 7 months she is so smart and playfull and fully potty trained. She listens and plays hard and sleeps in her own bed with no problem. She has been to class and were going back to the next level of training and tricks! She can almost roll over fully on command but it takes some work (work meaning me pushing her over afte she rolls on her back LOL) she's 5.8lbs an hadn't really grown much since she hit 6 months. Bailey is amazing with other dogs and babies, sometimes she gets scared with big dog at first and people who run to her too fast but after a good hand sniff she's playing and running to them! Thankyou again for this perfect angel I love her so much and I know she loves me back!


p.s. I traveled with her on a 5 hr flight back to Cali and I had her in a puppy bag under the seat infront of me and no one knew there was a dog on board because she was so quiet and sweet she just slept and looked up at me from time to time to make sure I was ok. When she doesn't see me sometimes she gets a little scared.

Hi Stefanie,
Well, I just don't have the words to encompass just how much I love this dog. He is the most precious, perfect sweetheart. I have never fallen this hard for one of my pups....he's just so amazing!!
He goes so well on his paper!! It makes such a difference! I remember crying in the mornings when Dixie was a puppy because she would poop in her crate and manage to smear it everywhere.....every morning was such an ordeal. It's amazing I've ever gotten another dog after how bad she was!
And he isn't yippy at all. When my other dogs start barking he just sits there calmly looking at them. It's amazing!
He is so obviously VERY well socialized........it's such a big deal. I don't think first time dog owners can really appreciate what a difference it makes but I sure can and DO......so let me just say a resounding, THANKYOU!!!!
He seems like a natural born heeler, when I put him on his baby leash to go out to potty he stays right at my side....is his neck going to be too fragile for a regular leash/collar deal? Does he need a harness?
He's so funny. Everytime I would take him outside to go potty, he would just sit on my feet and look up at me....like he's thinking "okay, I'm game, now what?"
But when my eleven year old daughter took him out yesterday, whammo! He peed! And he pooped outside last night! He's peed pretty regularly outside today. He does better for her. When I take him out he likes to sit on my feet.
Totally and completely in love,
will send some photos soon.
Now I know why you have repeat customers.

Dear Steffy

This is from the Ellis family. I know, it has taken a LONG time. More will be coming,
including pictures of the entire family. These are pictures of your Molly, our Ellie., taken
within the last week.

She is the "glue" of our family now. I do not know what we would do without her.
She is PRICELESS.

Ellie is very happy and well adjusted. She has 3 dog friends that live next door. She is
part of a pack. The dogs are two dachshunds, and a dachshund/chiwowa mix. Life
is good for her, and our life is far better having her as part of ours.

Hope you enjoy the little picture video that my 12 YO Alexa put together.

Steffy,

I would like to take some time to say thanks and to give you a recommendation for anyone looking for a Shorkie.

In November of 2008 I began to look for a puppy for my small girls to be given as a Christmas present. I work overseas in the Middle East in support of the Global War on Terrorism. The reason that I was looking to get them a puppy was to keep them busy during the times that I was gone, which is on average 10 months out of the year. Another great thing about it was that it would have them start to learn "responsibility" (OK, that's just the dad in me....).

During the entire adoption / purchase process Steffy had been nothing but wonderful and informative. I almost felt bad because she was trying to answer questions from me out in Iraq, from my wife in California, raise the puppies, deal with her other customers, run her family, etc. There were a few times that I had called Steffy in the middle of the night because it was the only time I could get to a phone out in Iraq. Again, she had been nothing but wonderful, always sending us new pictures, videos, etc.

A few days before Christmas we went to Ontario airport in California to pick up Rascal. I had brought my girls with me and there was another family there to pick up Rascal's brother. When Steffy had told me that all the Shorkie owners are like a family I didn't believe it, but meeting Lynette and family I understood.

Well, Rascal is all grown up now (at least I hope, he just clocked in at 11 pounds at his checkup lol). He has been WONDERFUL with the kids and such a blessing. Him and our girls (5 and almost 3) are inseparable, especially our youngest. They are all the best of friends. He gets along great with everyone and is full of energy, but still will curl up next to you on the couch anytime that you let him. He is so smart too, never needing any major training, just basic house training was fine. He has never tried to run off or anything and is a pretty good guard dog, always barking to alert you if something seems wrong.

I had never seen myself getting a smaller puppy but am glad that I did. In the end it is not like even having a puppy, it is like he is our son and we can not imagine life without him now.

Thanks to Priceless Pups for making our family complete!

Semper Fidelis,
Robert Steele

we think our little guy’s name is Skipper (I’m not a fan of that name, so I’m still holding out for something else). In the meantime, we have all sorts of cute, adoring names we call him. He is wonderful – so unbelievably cute and friendly, and very spunky! He is a crack up with our big labradoodle – he loves to jump up and try to grab Boomer’s tail, and they have a great time wrestling together. My initial fears were unwarranted, and Boomer seems to know intuitively how to control is vastly bigger size. “Skipper” does great in his crate at night, he’s a good eater, and very healthy. We are having so much fun with him. I’m attaching a picture I took today. I will send more as he gets bigger (right now he’s just over 2lbs).

I saw that William had sent you a message, so i thought i would send one myself just to personally thank you. You must be one amazing woman to raise such wonderful pups. Griffy, now known as Maximus Griffin Smith, is the sweetest, cutest, sneaky, loving, cuddling little dude ever !!!! All the way to the airport my nerves were on edge, i was scared he would be so frightened, but he seemed fine once we got him. Max was just a little shaky, so i wrapped him in the blanky i bought for him and i just held him close and i just softly talked to him until he stopped shaking. The past couple weeks with this baby have just been the sweetest. He is the first thing i look for when i get home from work at night. And there he will be, in his play pen just waiting. He truly is a sweety. I cant thank you enough !!! Our daughters , as well as our Pitt Patches just love him. Right now as i type this to you, i have Max in my lap, he's sleeping. Its like having a new baby, well without the nursing and crying....haha Anyways, thank you once again. You are going to bring amazing joy into so many lives with your priceless pups. Take Care and we will talk to you soon,

Here are the pictures of Wes I promised a few weeks ago. Sorry it took so long to get them to you. He is so much fun to have around. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make us laugh with something he has done. Today he ended up in my daughter's wastebasket head first with just his hind legs sticking out the top. I guess he was checking out what she had in there. He uses the pee pads pretty well although he likes the edge and doesn't realize that sometimes he isn't on it far enough. He also thinks it's great fun to grab the edge in his mouth and run across the room with it. He goes back to the vet on Friday for his next round of shots. I'm sure he'll do just fine.

Sorry it's taken me this long to write to you! With all the holidays it was a little hectic, but thank goodness it's slowd down since then! :) The kids were absolutely thrilled about our new little baby. We had him waiting out by the Christmas tree when they woke up, and they didn't think he was theirs. They asked us if it was our friends dog. When we told them he was ours, they were soooo excited. My son and daughter both to this day have said he is the best Christmas present either one of them has ever had. He is the sweetest little guy. He loves to play with us, and loves to cuddle. He barks only when we're playing, when he tries to act tough. It's so cute!! We couldn't have asked for a better puppy for our family. Thank you so much for everything. You really made it a very comfortable process, and I really appreciate your accomidating when we wanted to pick him up. Best wishes to you and your family, and the new babies to come! Happy New Year!

Just wanted to send you some pictures of Tinkerbell "Tinka" and thank you for sending us such a wonderful fur baby! She is doing wonderful and has fit into our family perfectly! Tinka and our boston Molly have become best friends laying together and sharing bones. She had a perfect check up at the vet and is adjusting very well to our family. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me and answer my questions making sure we got the perfect puppy for our family. Everyone who meets Tinka comments on how friendly she is - thank you for raising such wonderful fur babies. I will make sure to send new pictures as she grows.

Happy New Year! I wanted to send you some updated photos of Maggie Mae. She is almost 15 months now and has passed all her obedience classes, including Canine Good Citizen. I think Maggie wants to be a therapy dog, or at least spend some of her time giving back to the community. I love her more each day; not quite sure how it's possible, but I do! She's amazing and the best addition to my life and I thank you again (for the millionth time) for breeding such dollbabies. We will be looking to get Mag a little brother or sister in the next year hopefully. Here are some pics of summertime, her 1st birthday party, Halloween, and Christmas! Enjoy and take care!
