This family breeds shihtzus, they say they have faces to die for well they are right my puppy died and they did nothing.  They have no money to send me a refund, Barbara tells me the best they can do is 200.oo at a time. Well were is the money for the puppy I bought and DIED.  This is terrible and I think its time I call the better buisness deparment.  I think they resold the puppy and lied to me so they can get twice as much money.  I dont believe a word they say and hope anyone that reads this will understand that this family is not what they say they are and the puppies are either sick or they are running a HUGE scam.  Either way I LOST alot of money and wind up with a welfare payment plan.  SADLY Dissapointed!

DO NOT BELIEVE THIS COMPLAINT!! ALL LIES!!!!

AUTHOR: Nottrue1234 - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, October 29, 2013

Are you kidding me that you filed a fake report?  Anyone who deals with Barbara, Soho Shih Tzu, knows that she is very involved in the process of getting a puppy.  She knows ALL of her customers by name.  There's no way that she would not respond if your puppy died.  I think you totally made this up.  I spoke to her many times on the phone prior to getting my puppy and she hand delivered it.  I contacted her a couple time after getting the dog and she responded quickly. 

By the way, you clearly did not contact the better business BUREAU if you do not even know the name of the organization.  Liar liar liar.  Why are you preventing future customers from getting sweet puppies???

I hope Soho Shih Tzu sues you for defamation.  My little puppy is the most lovable creature ever.  She is sweet and adorable.  

Potential Customers - please don't listen to this person.  Barbara has lovely adorable dogs.  She is a conscious and responsible dog breeder.  

Soho Shih Tzu - please sue this liar.

Happy with Soho!!!!!!

AUTHOR: liteachr - ()

POSTED: Monday, July 08, 2013

I was so happy with my purchase 3 years ago with Barbara and her little puppies, that I once again purchased a pup this year. Both times Barbara( the owner) was professional, honest and kept me in the loop while my little ones were growing with their mom and sisters and brothers. She sent pictures and videos. My family went to get our first puppy and we were able to see their beautiful home in Suffolk. Our little boy was happy and when we brought him home he was just perfect (OK'd by the vet immediately!)

Our second puppy is just as cute as our first. Because Barbara and her husband live in another place, we happily met them to pick up our "baby"  And once again, immediately OK'd by the VET.  We were thrilled.

Both our dogs were healthy and have the best personalities/dispositions- I feel it is the breeding and the love they are given at the beginning of their lives.   Both of our pups are great with the kids and with everyone who enters our home. Plus they have the cutest little faces, and beautiful coloring. Tails are great too!!!   Our dogs are 9 lbs. and 5 lbs of pure fluff!

We highly recommend Soho Shih tzu's to all our friends and to anyone who is interested. We even keep in touch with some of the owners of the other pups from our litters!!!!!!

Thank-you to Barbara Soho shih-tzus and her family for our beautiful dogs.

very happy with soho shih tzu

AUTHOR: missy j. - ()

POSTED: Sunday, June 30, 2013

I can not say enough great things about Barbara and Bob. I have two of the most beautiful shih tzus and in just me purchasing pets, also gained two wonderful friends. Seeing someone  attack them on here breaks my heart because what ever personal problem they might have with them..noone should ever slander someone on a public forum. And its very easy to see that the intention is to hurt Barbara...anyone that has met Barbara for five seconds will know that her dogs are the most important thing to her. She doesnt breed her pups for money..she does it as a hobby and out of love for the breed. She puts so much love and effort into making people happy with their pets. I purchased a pet two years ago and have had not one health problem...and got another one a year ago and she is the most adorable tiny emperial shih tzu! Even my vet and groomer have pics of my little Chanel because no one had seen such a little beauty. Its clear she came from wonderful parents and Barbara did a great job taking care of them . When i first brought Chanel home , I was very nervous because she was so tiny and was afraid she wasn't eating enough. I must have called Barbra a hundred times that day and she answered every time giving me advice..she even took time out of her weekend to let me bring Chanel over so she could weigh her to reassure me she was eating enough...and tried different foods out to help me keep her on a proper diet. Both my pups are perfection..I was worrying for nothing but Barbara never once made me feel like i was being crazy and was so helpful and I am beyond grateful. I always ask her advice as my second opinion next to my vet because she does know the breed and does care. I cant see any reports on her selling dying pups and not refunding miney being true at all. Its clear once you pull up to her home that she doesnt need the money from breeding AND surely cant be on welfare. They have a beautiful home and treat me like family. I really hope that someone interested in a puppy believes in the positive messages and looks at the countless happy faces and families she has helped create by placing these pups in homes and ignores the disgusting lies! Her website shows all the puppy families and the pics dont lie. Check that out on the soho shih tzu website and then make your decision. I think she is a sweetheart and will always be thankful to her for her help and my two beautiful girls! Missy

This Is a Total Lie/Wonderful Breeder

AUTHOR: Maria M - ()

POSTED: Monday, June 24, 2013

First of all I would like to say how awful it is that this person Heidi is trying to spread lies about her family. "Shame on you" for saying such awful and absolutely ridiculous things about your aunt. You know full well that you are lieing out your a*s but since you like to tango lets dance. :)

  I found Barbara and SOHOSHIHTZU after months of rigorous searching for a reputable breeder. I had high expectations and would not settle for a heartless , just in it for the money type person. After speaking with Barbara the very first time I immediately felt at ease. She knew so much about the breed and was was very forthcoming with whatever questions I had for her.

I put down my 100.00 deposit with no hesitation and during the wait time for my puppy Barbara updated me with pictures of not only the puppy but also the parents of my dog. When it was time for delivery, She drove all the way from another state and dressed the puppy in an adorable sweater along with instructions and food for her. This dog is so gorgeous that I literally walk outside my door and receive compliments on her unique color and personality. We are absolutely in LOVE with our baby and have a deposit down for another. 

I could not be happier with the service and quality that I received from Barbara. I truthfully could not say enough about her and this is why it saddens me to see such a wonderful breeder being ripped apart with lies. 

HEIDI, a little advice, if you are going to bad mouth people on this website and actually want people to not mistake you for the liar you are, you should actually learn some proper English and invest your time in learning something called "spell check". Please stop.

 Heidi, we are just 2 retired people trying to have our hobby breeding program,as my wife and daughter love the dogs and puppies so much,, so why would you try to write bad things that are not true about us.Since i cant get in touch with you and this continues, you leave me no choice but to go to your in laws house on Richmond ave in Massapequa, to see if they can help me resolve this. I hope this doesnt continue and you live your life in Hicksville with your new husband without DRAMA.

Ashamed that your a family member of mine,

AUTHOR: Barbara - ()

POSTED: Sunday, June 23, 2013

 Well Heidi,I see your at it again.If anyone reads this, please call me on this, sorry to say this is my so called niece writing these  ridiculous reports. she use to be the owner of Exotic shihtzu. no longer in buisness due to her scamming . Heidi i know you dont want me to go there. were you arrested again Heidi????.Its public info. look up her name you will find out plenty.look up Exotic shihtzu. Obviously she is trying to bring harm to me, like she did to her whole family, and I am sure this is not the end . As Heidi belongs in a mental institution.

Now Heidi, you say I collect welfare and my husband is on Disability?????? yes Heidi again  look back at your report, you really need to learn how to SPELL. well ok lets do this, Bob is retired ,, hello he gets social security.for your info! And Iam sorry that we get pensions and you dont! He worked his whole life to get what we have, You just took from people , it was easier for you.I am trying to address your ridiculous crap you wrote here, ok You bought  lhasas from me?????? HA! when was this?? you were the one with lhasas!.

Now I can say in all the years I am breeding thank god I never had problems with anyone, I just sold a puppy to a poor lady in Port Jeff Ny Lori is her name. You sold her a pup out of the house in Massapequa and the poor puppy died at 1 year old of kidney failure.Poor woman called me crying and was not happy with you. and I have had more of your past clients with puppies that died.Now as far as me being a rich Bit*h... and living beyond my means? what would you know about my life. I have not talked to you in 3 years.

Your trying to rebuild your buisness and that is fine, but dont go around trying to destroy others, But same old Heidi..............Now my 100 dep... i dont take big amounts like you did, because if something happens people do get the money back, I am not like you, that you grab the money all of it and never again answer your phone.. I have 2 bum checks from you sitting here, for 1400.00 money you owed me, i can post them if you like  they are marked NSF..............because everytime I went to your house in fl your cable  was turned off or some other sh*t.

so lets not go there,YOU collect disability, not us,,,,,,, and you get food stamps, so why not stop your crap,I dont need it dont want it, seriously you have been trying to put me out for 9 years now,when are you going to grow up? My husband is going to see this through, right now he is not happy, Poor Marge Resnick lost all her $$$ to . Heidi btw....

Bob had an uncle who died and we got a nice lump left to us, so please get your facts straight and try maybe bringing your buisness back if you can and stay off rip off trying to hurt others, especially family,If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me on this. ok so now this is your 3rd report,nothing better to do.... i guess, d**n you just got remarried maybe try paying attention to your poor hubby, and H no one would know about lhasas except you, wow thought you were smarter than that lol ... keep this up, I will take action actually Bob will.....

Barbara gets disability checks sorry for u

AUTHOR: D A - ()

POSTED: Friday, June 14, 2013

 IF this happened to you its not becasue the dog died its just that she is always shor on cash so the minute you sent the money it was gone, 200 payment are b s you should get a full refund, those wellfare/ disabilty checks are once a month and have alot of rubber to make make them streach.........................along way, she lives beyond her means.

completely false allegations

AUTHOR: mrs. k - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, July 27, 2012

I bought a shih tzu from Soho Shihtzus close to a yr ago and can not believe someone would defame Barabara in this way. I honestly came across this while searching to see if Barbara had any new puppies to adopt! My puppy is in great health and nothing short of a genius...she was already trained and sleeping through the night the day i picked her up. Barbara even sent me home with a long list of helpful tips and food, toys and clothes! I have been to her home in Florida many times and it far from shambles..

In fact, I was considering buying it when she told me she was debating on selling it! Barbara is the ONLY person that i trust to pet-sit Coco because she has always been so helpful anytime I call her with questions..for instance, when Coco was getting her shots and was fixed Barbara helpd me find a wonderful vet and helped me with her aftercare..I always run everything by her! I would never take my time to respond to these false allegation unless it really made me mad..

I would hate for anyone to miss out on getting any of her amazing puppies over reading outrageous lies. People stop me to stare at Coco everytime i take her anywhere because she is so uniquely beautiful. Coco gets so much attention that even when she isnt with me people in my local town ask about her! She has such a wonderful demeanor and has been wonderful since the day I got her that I have to give Barbara credit for it..I have never seen anyone treat their pets the way she does! Thank u. Mrs. K

I purchased my shih tzu from Barbara a yr ago and am extremely shocked that someone would defame her in this way..I honestly googled her site so I can see if she has any puppies up for adoption! She is such a wonderful person to do business with and my puppy has been nothing short of a genius. When i picked her up close to a yr ago she was already trained, sleeping through the night and barbara took the time to give me lists of foods and helpful tips on how to care for her...along with food, toys and even clothes.

I had never seen anyone care for dogs the way she does..she def does not live in shambles..in fact, she is the ONLY person that pet-sits for coco AND i was considering buying her gorgeous home when she was debating selling it. It is in a beautiful neighborhood and you would never know she bred puppies there from how clean it is..it looks like a model home. Barbara always returns my calls and texts and has always been there for me when i had questions or concerns about coco being fixed, getting shots, etc.

I always run everything by her...I would NEVER waste my time writing anything like this unless it really made me mad and i can see that someone is trying to defame and destroy someone elses reputation and ii would find it a real shame if anyone believed it and didnt buy one of her amazing puppies based on readign lies. Her puppies are so beautiful and every single time coco goes anywhere she gets stopped and stared at...my whole town knows and loves her! I take her everywhere..thank u. Mrs. K

Completely False Statements

AUTHOR: gizmoeq - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, January 07, 2012

I have personally been to Barbara's house in Wading River on more than one occasion and I can tell you that her house is not a shambles.  It is a beautiful home...immaculate.  The first time I went there I couldn't even believe she actually bred dogs there it was so clean.  I purchased my Gizmo from her in 2010 and am currently waiting to purchase my second puppy from her.  Gizmo is the most loving little dog you could every have and I could tell immediately that he was raised in a home with someone who loved him very much before I had him.  Barbara is one of the nicest people I have ever met and was nothing but helpful, informative and honest with me from the very beginning.  Why someone would lie the way they have in the original first 2 posts is beyond me but I can say I have never had a more wonderful relationship with a breeder and I have dealt with many. There is absolutely no scam going on here.  The only scam here is the one being run by the author of the first original posts.
