The Shih Tzu originated in China. He has a host of admirers who greatly appreciate his wide eyed expression and his distinctly cavalier attitude to the world about him. He views that world from a fairly small frame which is only some 26.5cm high, but he gives the impression of mental superiority in no uncertain terms.

 

He has a long, dense coat which rewards hard work and gets distinctly ragged if neglected. He comes in a glorious variety of colours, often a white blaze to his forehead, and he carries his high set tail like a banner over his back. He definitely enjoys being part of the family but does not suggest that he is anxious to partake in long, muddy tramps across the fields.

 

He takes a fair deal of cleaning up if he does feel the urge towards outdoor forays in mid winter.

 

All our puppies are now vet checked on a weekly basis and are sold with vaccination card having had their first vaccinations, with our own vet.
