Testimonials from our happy families

When Izzy was born, we immediately knew she was the one we wanted. She was the only Parti Yorkie in the litter, and Tanishae explained to us what a Parti Yorkie was. We instantly fell in love with how unique and beautiful she was. Bringing Izzy home was the easiest transition. She fit right into our family from the very beginning. Now she’s almost three years old and only about four pounds, but her personality is bigger than life itself. I had always wanted a Yorkie since I was little, so getting Izzy truly felt like a dream come true. She has brought so much chaos, laughter, and happiness into our home. She is one of the fastest learning and most dramatic dogs I’ve ever seen, which makes life with her so entertaining. Our kids adore her, and honestly, their relationship is just like siblings — full of love, aggravation, and nonstop fun. Izzy definitely brings extra spice to our household, and we couldn’t imagine life without her.

We could not be more in love with our precious little Shih Tzu baby! From the very first moment we brought our puppy home, it was obvious how much love, care, and dedication went into raising these puppies. Our sweet pup arrived happy, healthy, playful, and absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. You can truly tell this breeder pours their whole heart into every tiny fur baby they raise. Not only was our puppy up to date on all shots and wonderfully cared for medically, but we were absolutely amazed that our little one was already completely litter box trained! The transition into our home was smooth, stress-free, and honestly a dream come true. Our puppy adjusted so quickly because of the incredible start they were given.The whelping environment was clearly clean, nurturing, and full of love, and it shows in the confidence and sweetness of our puppy’s personality. This breeder doesn’t just raise puppies — they raise little bundles of joy wrapped in fluff, kisses, and unconditional love. If you are looking for a breeder who treats their puppies like family and goes above and beyond to ensure they are healthy, socialized, and thriving, look no further. We are forever grateful for our beautiful Shih Tzu and cannot recommend this breeder enough. Our hearts are absolutely overflowing with happiness!

Our new puppy just left the vet and did great! Everyone there absolutely loved her and commented on how beautiful and unique her coloring is. They were especially impressed that she was already potty trained at such a young age, which has made bringing a new puppy into our home so much less stressful. We are absolutely in love with our new baby and feel so grateful that we found The Whelping Box. Thank you!               Nicole Bran

I loved working with Tanishae! She is amazing! She answered all my questions and made sure I got pupdates every day. She was always quick to respond when I messaged her. She even brought my baby to me! She makes sure the babies are going to good homes and they make it to them! 1000/10 for us!                  Summer Sooley

We had wonderful experience with The Whelping Box. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love, care, and dedication they put into raising their dogs. The puppies are well-socialized, healthy, and obviously raised in a nurturing environment where their well-being is the top priority. What truly sets The Whelping Box apart is how much they care about both their dogs and the families adopting them. They go above and beyond to make the adoption process smooth and stress-free. Every detail is thoughtfully organized, and all documentation is prepared, explained clearly, and easy to understand. They take the time to answer questions and make sure adopters feel confident and informed every step of the way. Even after adoption, their support doesn't end. They continue to check in, offer guidance, and make themselves available if you need anything. It's reassuring to know they genuinely care about their puppies long after they leave for their new homes. The Whelping Box is run by the sweetest, most caring people you could hope to work with. Their passion, professionalism, and commitment to their dogs and adopters shine through in everything they do. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible breeder who truly goes the extra mile.

When we brought Talie and Turbo home from The Whelping Box, we quickly realized we hadn’t just found an exceptional breeder — we had found someone who genuinely loves every puppy like family. From the very beginning, the care, dedication, and attention given to our babies was obvious. They came home healthy, well-socialized, loved, and already full of personality. What truly sets The Whelping Box apart is that the relationship doesn’t end when you pick up your puppy. She continues to care about them as if she is their grandmother — always checking in, celebrating milestones, answering questions, and genuinely invested in their happiness and well-being. You can feel the love and passion she pours into every single puppy she raises. It is rare to find someone so ethical, knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply connected to the dogs she breeds. They are such wonderful additions to our family, and we are so grateful for the incredible start they were given. If you are looking for a breeder who treats her puppies like cherished family members and who truly cares long after adoption day, The Whelping Box is simply amazing.
