SHIH TZU
The Shih Tzu, according to tradition, was developed in China's Imperial
courts by the crossing of ancient Chinese and Tibetan breeds. This royal
Toy dog became extinct in China following the revolution of 1949 but
fortunately, a number of Shih Tzu had been taken home by diplomats so the
breed was continued in England, Norway and Sweden. In recent years the
breed has become enormously popular in the United States as a sturdy,
lively, alert Toy dog that is a happy companion. Shih Tzu in the show ring
have a long flowing double coat; family pets look charming in a variety of
short-hair clips.
