Giant Ball of Love!!

We bought "Rambler" back in July (we call him Guinness now) and we fell in love immediately. He fit right in with our Jack Russell mix and they haven't stopped running since. The only problem we have with him is that everyone who meets him wants to take him home!!! He is a just a giant ball of love!! Amy, Tampa, FL, 08/07/09

Thanks For Our Darling Little Chihuahua, Tootsie!

Hi Shannon, I am VERY pleased with our little girl. She's adorable, better than the pictures! I love everything about her-her color, body style, she is awesome. Our two other girls like her too. Chloe acts like she wants to mother her. They play well together and Chloe isn't being rough. I want to tell you I was so nervous about her flying and when they handed us the crate at the airport all I looked for is something moving in it. I guess I didn't need to be so worried, she was wagging her tail and licked our finger through the crate. What a trooper! She sat on my lap and chewed on toys on the way home. She was a good little girl. She is a very good natured puppy. She ate her supper with no problem and I just put her to bed in her playpen. She is going to fit in just fine with our family. We'll talk again soon. Thanks for a darling puppy and all your help! Bonnie, LaMoille, IL, July 30, 09

UPDATE 08/08/09

Hi Shannon, It's been a busy week but thought I'd let you know how our little girl is doing, JUST GREAT! We Love her, and we finally agreed on a name for her. It's "Pandora", it means "talented one". A name has to fit the puppy when you look at her and I think it fits her well. She's a good eater and is doing well with the potty box training. She is a smart little girl. She's my peanut. She also likes the warm blanket that I heat in the dryer for the girls at night. Puts her right to sleep. She is tiny but she keeps up with my other two girls. She's quick! My husband said I have good taste because I picked out a "good puppy". I say I found a good breeder! - that has a lot to do with it! Good job Shannon. We'll send pictures - my son is the only one with a digital camera, we are going to have to get one so we can send pictures and keep you updated. Talk again soon, Bonnie

Hi Shannon! Bailey is here and he is GORGEOUS! He got here 2 hours ago and we are all settled in and he is resting right now. He is adjusting great and the kids have been tremendous with him. In fact, he fell asleep with the kids as they were watching tv. He is absolutely perfect! Tash, Redwood City, CA, July 16,09

Wonderful Puppy!

We wanted to thank you so much for Henry. He is a wonderful puppy, and so far, seems to be very smart. He has taken to his potty training and crate training with ease. He loves our other dog and we couldn't be happier with the way things are turning out. Thank you also for all your advise and guidance during the shipping. It made us much more comfortable about the process. The Norris family, Colorado Springs, July 11,09

We LOVE Him!

Hi Shannon, Just wanted to send you a little note about the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier that we got from you. He has to be the most loved dog ever. He is so full of personality and just so tolerant and loving of our 3 teenage boys. We love our other Wheaten, but Willy is one of a kind. Everyone who meets him loves him. He is just so attentive and fun loving. I can't describe the joy and laughter he has brought into our family. He must have a very heavy head because he likes to rest it on us. He is our joy. Thank you. Love , Barb M. and family. Lake Worth, TX, May 4, 09

Hi Shannon.

Lola (Marianna) is doing absolutely amazing! She comes to work with me everyday and now knows our daily routuine. Every one of our customers adore her! She's famous in our plaza :) I have one recent pic of her saved in my phone, but as of yet I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to my computer. I would have pics, but the lil booger won't stand still long enough for me to take her pic! I couldn't be happier to have her as a part of our family! She knows that I'm mommy and follows me everywhere (sometimes daddy gets a lil jealous lol). I definately will send you pics in the future to show how she has grown. She is absolutely beautiful :) Thank you so much for everything! You may be receiving many inquiries about your Chi's as I've been handing out your website to everyone! Talk to you soon!

Thought you might like some updated photos of one of your puppies. This is the male (chester) now Dozer, that we purchased earlier this year. He will turn 1 year on 12-30-08.

Terrific Little Girl!

Hi Shannon, Alexis has been wonderful so far. Its only been 2 days and she is already crate trained. She has also caught on very quickly to potty training. I suspect she will be fully potty trained by weeks end. Its truly amazing how smart chis are as I remember how easy it was training our 1yr old boy chi, T-Rex. The two dogs seem to be getting along very well and T-Rex has really shown us his maturity and patience as he adapts to the new member of our family. He has been yielding his needs for our attention to hers and has been very sweet with sharing his toys. We'll send you some pictures so that you can monitor Alexis' growth and progress. Thank you again for such a terrific little girl.Have a very Merry Christmas!-Kim,San Francisco,CA 12/22/08

TINY PABLO

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! I also wanted to let you know that I took Pablo to the vet today to get him checked out and on a wellness plan, and he did great!!! He is totally healthy! He is also adapting very well--eating and drinking regularly and everything! I'll send you pictures very soon! Thank you so much for everything!! -Taylor, Laguna Miguel, CA 12/22/08

PRECIOUS DELILAH!

Hi! Just wanted to let you know our DELILAH (calli) is precious. We are so happy with her. She is such a delight. We are the ones from Iowa that purchased the Havanese. I will send pictures. She is a stinker at times , but we look at her face and cant help but turn compassionate. We have a lab and she is such a mother hen towards Delilah. She follows our lab everywhere and they play so well. I think it has been great for our lab as well. She did so well with potty training. I cant say enough good things. She is precious. Thanks so much for everything. Merry Christmas! Jennifer and family,Marion,Iowa 12/22/08

Rico is Adorable!

Hi Shannon,We absolutely ADORE Rico! He is so sweet & lovable. Everything about him is ADORABLE! What a Great Christmas present. He feels right at home and acts like he owns the place. We have had quite a few successes in the litter box. Thank you for bringing him out to Denver for us. Thank you & Merry Christmas to you all,Waverly, Denver, CO 12/21/08

Thank You For a Beautiful Puppy!

Hello!Things have been pretty chaotic with a new puppy the past few months, so now that things are finally settling down, I wanted to write you to say thank you for our beautiful puppy.We got "Ruby" in September (we call her Hazel now). She was clean, healthy, and happy. Everywhere we go we get compliments on her beautiful colors and markings. And she has such a sweet temperment and such a funny personality! I really didn't know what to expect when we picked her up at the airport, but I couldn't have asked for a better dog. It's funny, because we actually tried to get a different puppy first and she had already been taken, so Hazel was our second choice. I guess things work out the way they are supposed to, because I wouldn't trade her for anything now. Thank you so much for all of your help. You made a really important decision a really good one. I appreciate all the time you took to email me and let me know what to expect.
Sending along a Christmas picture, hope your holidays are jolly!
Sincerely,Sarah,Portsmouth,NH 12/19/08

Shannon,

Merry Christmas to you!!! Millie (English bull dog) is doing sooooooo good, she's my princess angel. My husband and I couldn't have done better ANYWHERE!!!!! I thank you so much for bringing us together. She's now 8 months old and 50 pounds. She has MANY dog friends. Millie hasn't learned her real truth (she's a dog) We love her!!!!! Have a safe and healthy new year, Judy, Dave, and Millie

UPDATE 9/7/08

Millie is doing wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant tell you how happy I am with her. Shes now 34 lbs and growing. She loves everyone, she gets her whole body moving when anyone comes near. Her 2 best friends are a female boxer and a very large pit bull. Shannon thank you once again for your help bringing Millie to us. WE LOVE HER!!!! Judy, FL

Hi Shannon,Just a quick note to tell you how happy I am with Millie. Shes adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She goes everywhere with me so shes going to be very well adjusted.

If you ever need a reference you can always use me, I'm a VERY satisfies momma (customer)!! Thank you again,Judy in Clearwater,FL

Tasha~Wonderful Addition to My Family

Hi Shannon! Thought I would drop you a quick line to let you know that Tasha is doing great. She hops around all over the house like a little bunny rabbit and I think you could run all of the lights in Muskogee off her boundless energy. I've also decided she must have been a comedian in a previous life because she loves to entertain and keeps you laughing. She and Bruiser, my shih tzu, are getting along superbly. She looks like a little cricket trying to hop on him when she chases him, and he jumps backwards like he's afraid that she'll give him an electrical shock, but clearly he adores the attention from her. I am already totally smitten by this little cutie and all her puppy kisses she gives so eagerly. She has personality plus, and is perfect in every way. I'll keep you posted on her progress and will send pics soon. Thank you for such a wonderful addition to my family!~~Shirl,OK

Zues the Schipperke

Hi Shannon, I was reading your website comments from others and just wanted to tell you a few things. First, my kids love the puppy. (We call him Zues cause my 2 yr old son can say that pretty well). He took him for a ride in the back of his huge tonka truck. Zues looked so proud. My daughter thinks he is "so adorable", this boy gets lots of hugs and kisses from all of us. He has gone to work with me and was so well behaved. We are working on the potty trips outside. Despite only a few accidents, he is doing way better than I expected. I want to thank you again for your kindness in working so well with me on purchasing him. You made a scary situation (buying online and out of state) for me and made it into a wonderful success. I mentioned to you before about me talking to other breeders and something told me then after talking to you that you knew what you were doing and were very experienced. You proved that to me with flying colors. I have told many people about you. Keep up the good work! We will keep you posted and send pics soon.~Amanda

She is Truely a Treasure!

Hi Shannon,
I am finally getting these pictures to you of Delilah's arrival in
Fairbanks Ak. These are of us getting her at the airport shipping
office.You can see me in the jeans at the counter with my daughter and also my
husband in the background in one picture. Most importantly, you can
see my daughter Kory, with long hair in braids, holding Delilah. Delilah
looked like she wasn't quite sure what she thought about all of this,
but you can absolutely tell what my daughter was thinking about her. :)Delilah is doing great. She is truly a treasure and we are very glad and happy to have her in our family. She is very smart and very loving as well as playful and downright silly. She is also a "wild" puppy at times and seems to think she rules the roost (she does).You'll have to put her picture with Kory on you website that shows
pictures of previous puppies that have been sold. That would be cool! If you want to use us as a reference just let me know and we'd be happy to do that. I saw the "new" puppies available and although very cute none were as cute as our Delilah (in our objective and unbiased opinion). I told Kory that we were very lucky and got just the right puppy for her and our family. Buying a puppy off the internet can be a little scary as well as risky considering that we almost got scammed on the first one that we checked into but we got the one that was meant for us. Thanks for all your work in getting her here to us and for not giving up.Take care. It was great doing business with you and we love our baby.Barb, AK

Wonderful puppies.....

I purchased two very sweet Wheatens from Shannon. Our puppies are wonderful additions to our family and Shannon was great to deal with. I would definitely recommend this breeder.

VERY CARING, LOYAL BREEDER

I just received a yorkie from Puppy Dogs By Design. Little Bunny arrived very healthy, happy and well taken care of. They called to check on her to make sure all was well with her arrival. Bunny is very well adjusted and there is no doubt that she was well taken care of. Very honest transaction. I would recommend purchasing your next 4 legged companion from PDBD, a very honest person and wonderful caring breeder. - Darlene

Awsome Puppy/Awsome Breeder

We recently purchased a Wheatie from Shannon, and it was the most positive experience. She was great to deal with and our puppy, Murphy, is fantastic. She did a terrific job not only with his breeding but also his socialization. He had to fly from Tulsa to Dallas to Pensacola, FL and then endure a 2 hour car ride. He arrived in excellent condition and started bonding with us immediately. This is day 3 with us and he is happy and comfortable, plays hard, sleeps well, eats well, and is coming along nicely with potty training. He is Mr. Personality! If you are looking for a puppy, I strongly recommend that you contact Shannon. Please email if you have questions. -Ellen Price, FL

Dinky Japanese Chin

This seller is wonderful and I highly recommend her! We are thrilled with our precious Japanese Chin. She was exactly as described. Shannon was wonderful and called me if nessecary at work and at home in NY to discuss Dinky and answer any questions I had. You can tell that she truly loves these dogs and raises them with so much love. - Stacey

Ollie is GREAT!

The puppy is GREAT! He went to a Memorial Day Parade and he was a big hit. We are amazed how social he is. He likes to be with people (Even at 4:00AM) He had us all up very, very early. The boys named him Oliver and call him Ollie for short.. He is getting along well with our other Wheaten. Please let us know if we can serve as a reference for your kennel. I will be happy to provide my name and number for potential customers. I would be happy to provide feedback. Thanks,Fred

Puppy Purchase

My puppy arrived on wed.the 31st.She was flown from OK to CA in the very best care.Her breeder had extra food and toys in a baggie and all her papers were intact.She has been a special gift to our family.She loves everyone and has been easy to potty train. Only a few mistakes but less and less everyday.She has a great temperment and personality ++++.Could not have asked for a better dog.Thanks Shannon,Your doing a Great job. -Cindy

Havenese Female Pup

This breeder is a wonderful lady who breeds excellent pups. Our Havenese puppy arrived healthy, happy and everything they said she would be and more. They were very helpful with any questions I had about the breed, the care or anything else I ask her. P Grever

Shannon B Raises the Best Wheatens

Dear Shannon, Hannah arrived at the airport along with another puppy from Texas. Hannah was so calm in her kennel. You included toys, food, and other extras which shows how much you really care for your pups. The other dog had nothing and was squeelings the entire time. When Hannah arrived at her new home she was ready to eat and then play. She came so well adjusted that it is clear to me all the people and puppy love she had at your farm. Her personality continues to expand and she gets along so beautifully with my other two dogs. I only wish I had enough room in my home for more of your beautiful and well adjusted puppies..I am talking you up all over my neighborhood so others will be so blessed as to have one of your puppies. -Nancy

Our Baby

Hello, Boy is our baby fistey! Oh he is one of a kind. We are in love. We are getting a new fence for the boys and we have had to keep his inside. He is doing great and vet checked perfect just like you said. So we will send you pics as soon as we get them. He got over the stresses right away and is blending in perfectly. So talk to you soon. -Jenn and Bill

We Love Zoe!

Barkley in Palm Desert, Ca.

Hi Shannon,

The puppy is great!! He has all his shots up to date and will be getting fixed next week. He has been a joy. He knows how to sit and come, is almost completely potty trained and starts puppy classes next week. He has really been a joy and I will definitely recommend you to anyone I hear looking for weatens. His name is Barkley and I think he weighs about 17 pounds now. Here are a few pics of him- his personality is great, too. Very social around people and other dogs! Loves to play and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to be outside. He has a thing for some roses I have in my back yard, which we are working on :). Anyways, just wanted to thank you again.

Thanks and take care-Brent

Everyone falls in Love with Her!!

Hello Shannon,Willow is doing wonderful and is so playful and happy. Everyone she meets just falls in love with her. I've attached some pictures as well. She's also learned to use the bathroom outside and lets us know when
she needs to. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Have a great day!-Daneill
