Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is a fairly popular breed,
and it originated from China. Their coats are long, and it can come
anywhere from a peach-golden to black and white, or it can be a trio of
colors. His coat indicates that he is
not very happy to take a long, muddy hike in the woods, and he carries his tail
like a banner over his back. They also
give the impression of mental superiority, and their expression does too. Both genders are lightweight at 10-16½
pounds. The male is 10½ inches tall, and
the female is 9 inches. They are still
friendly, yet independent, and still make good companions.
