AKC shih tzu dam B.B.
She has a soft energy that is submissive to people but quietly and gently won't be bullied in the yard either, she just sits on them and waits for them to calm down. A happy-go-lucky demeanor. Ridiculously smart, we call her Houdini because she's an escape artist. She has a lovely face structure with great round eyes that don't bulge out with a doubled pigment in the whites of the eyes for a pretty eye without a whale eyed expression. She also has a wide jaw with straight teeth set, she is my best dentition and round eye with a good arch to the tail with no double kink/pigtail.
AKC shih tzu dam FANCY
A luxurious lounging tiny princess with soft fluffy hair weighing 8-9 lbs. who doesn't do rain or snow... it might mess up her nails or hair. Princess life has high standards. She has show coat potential for her babies and she is my best conformation of the topline/back and leg set with good arch in the tail with no double kink/pigtail.
AKC shih tzu sire ASLAN
His mother was imported from Ukraine and registered in the TUKU but is now AKC and living in Virginia as far as I know. Adventurous and obedient with high drive and high potential, he's a strong and lean 16 lbs. of muscle. and has great hair that requires much less maintenance when kept long as an adult, I am practically negligent on baths and brushing for him compared to the others and his hair still looks like his picture. I only ever have to trim his legs when he gets into the burrs and his undercarriage. He is brave and plays well with others and is suited to groundhog chasing if it's not too hot outside. He loves sliding on the ice hardened snow like a slip and slide. He has been tested extensively for OFA submitted health records all in good or average standing with healthy joints - hips, elbows, patellas, dentition, CAER eyes, and outstanding DNA with no known carriers. I went all out to prove him in order to get papers on him. He also has great eyes that don't bulge with a double pigment in the whites of the eyes and a wide jaw with straight teeth. A good tail arch as well with no double kink/pigtail.
AKC shih tzu sire TIG
Docile and doe eyed sweetheart who just wants to sleep on the bed with you or follow you around constantly. He is a perfect cuddler and focused on his owner intensely. Soft fluffy hair like cotton weighing in at 11 lbs. He is submissive to people like a ragdoll, so grooming is easy when his hair is clippered short or brushed and combed daily. He has a good topline, arch in the tail, and smaller size for a lighter weight puppy.
PENNY
AKC SHIH TZU
Gentle with a soft mouth and delicate demeanor. Easy to potty train because she truly wants to make her people happy. She may be my husband's favorite due to her soft, gentle demeanor with people, willingness to please, and love of fetch.
HOUNDOOM
Continental Kennel Club DALMATIAN
Low Uric Acid LUA
All dalmatians are into deep pressure therapy, they really like to lean in with their body weight. Passing Eye CAER exam registered with the OFA. Low uric acid. This strong 60 lb. boy was raised by my son and they live in the city where he provides protection as a deterrent to bad guys as well as projects fun and inviting vibes as a conversation starter. They live in an apartment and walk in the city. He can jump a 5-foot fence easy and open doors if it's a push lever. He loves hugs and spending time with his family, long walks are cool too.
FRECKLES
Continental Kennel Club DALMATIAN
A dalmatian wants to be close to you and they are really into PDA (public displays of affection). They can be into shenanigans if bored. Girls just wanna have fu-un, ohhh girls just wanna have fun, that's all they really want (guys too). Deep pressure therapy lover and stealer of kisses. Playful and adoring 35 lb. sidekick who loves hugs and will really lean in for a good snuggle. Easy to potty train and just plain easy to train. One time I asked her to not play fetch with the shih tzu, because she wins hands down and pounces them in the process, and her reward was cuddle time in my lap. That is all she wants out of life so forever more when we throw a fetch toy and the shih tzu dive for it she jumps in my lap, I only showed her that once or twice tops. She's patient and obedient, she doesn't jump fences to try and escape the yard even when they are only 30" tall in the shih tzu yard. She has a passing hearing test (BAER) and a passing eye test (CAER).
