What Families Are Saying

We are so grateful to have found Gloria and Smoochie Poochie Pups
"Last November 2025, we decided we were ready to open our hearts again to new fur babies, after losing our two 16 yr old poochons earlier in the year. This time, we did our research and vetted responsible and ethical breeders. After weeks of research and much disappointment, though, I was ready to give up. But then I met Gloria of Smoochie Poochie Pups. I had so many questions for her but she patiently responded and encouraged me to reach out if I had any other concerns. Since I live in California, we did many video calls so my husband and I could see the poochon pups that were available. They looked happy and healthy! We couldn't decide on which pup so we got both sisters! As they were still too young to travel, Gloria was wonderful about providing weekly (sometimes daily!) updates and pictures of how they were growing. When they were finally old enough to travel, Gloria hand-carried
the pups and flew to California to deliver them to us. We met her at a quiet part of the airport and when we saw "Peanut" and "Petunia" in person, we knew right away that they were well-loved and well cared for puppies! They weren't afraid of us and in fact rolled over onto their backs so we could scratch their bellies! We took them for their first checkups with our vet and both received a clean bill of health! Peanut and Petunia are now 5 months old. They are such a joy to have, not to mention absolutely adorable with the best personalities. We live in a very dog friendly town and people stop us all the time to ask what kind of dogs they are and where did we get them! We are so grateful to have found Gloria and Smoochie Poochie Pups and have been enjoying every moment with our fur babies!" - Jacky Tany from San Jose, CA with her 2 sister POOCHONS Peanut and Petunia with their "designer" purses!!

We would recommend her business to anyone!
“It was very important to us to find a reputable breeder for our shih tzu and we found everything we were looking for and more in Gloria and Smoochie Poochie Pups. Gloria kept us in the loop from before Trudy was even born and shared pictures in real time with us as she and her siblings were born. She arranged for us to meet our puppy at just 5 days old so we could surprise our children for Christmas and then kept in constant contact for the next 8 weeks with pictures and videos until we were able to take her home. We got to witness her first eye opening, first solid food, and first steps thanks to Gloria’s great updates! We could tell Trudy was well cared for and raised in a clean and loving environment. We would recommend her business to anyone!” -Lauren VanSpeybroeck

From the very first conversation, I knew Gloria was the right breeder for us.
"Throughout the process, Gloria kept me updated and shared every little detail, which I appreciated so much as an eager dog mom anticipating the adventures ahead. She was thorough, thoughtful, and welcoming when we came to meet our little guy. Hank is the sweetest, most lovable, and incredibly smart pup — he even does agility and is a model student at daycare, charming everyone he meets!
I 1000% recommend Gloria, not just because we have our amazing Hank, but because she is genuinely called to do this. You won’t regret working with her. We still send monthly updates to “GG” to let her know how well Hank is thriving — he’s truly a joy in our lives!"

Working with Gloria from Smoochie Poochie Puppies was a complete joy.
"Working with Gloria from Smoochie Poochie Puppies was a complete joy. When I made the decision to pull the string and get a puppy she was so informative and kind through the whole process. She kept me updated on all things puppy! Always answered any questions I had. Sent pictures and progress reports on my puppy. When I got there for pick up, Gloria couldn’t have been nicer and you could tell the puppies had been well cared for and loved! Even after we were home she continued to check in and was more than willing to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Gloria and Smoochie Poochie Puppies to anyone looking for a new, loving puppy!!"

Gloria is the best, and, you won't regret getting a puppy from her.
We called Gloria and made an appointment to see the little shichon puppies. Gloria was so friendly, knowledgeable and the kennel was spotless. I could tell she loved the puppies and what she was doing. We met the puppies and fell in love. We picked Maggie. Maggie was our first puppy from Gloria. Maggie is so smart and sweet. After a few months we decided to get another Shichon, this time a boy. Monte loves to cuddle and play. Both of the puppies were easy to train and are so obedient.
Gloria is the best, and, you won't regret getting a puppy from her.

She even texted us a few days after to make sure our little boy was acclimating well.
We’ve had our puppy for about 5 weeks now and couldn’t be more happy with our sweet little love. Gloria was responsive and personable from start to finish and you could tell she cared for these pups. She even texted us a few days after to make sure our little boy was acclimating well. We are so excited to have this new little bundle of joy in our lives!
