Kiera my new Shih Tzu Puppy

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
shih-tzu-kiera1Hi Rebecca, 
Thank you for your email.  I visited your website and I’m glad to learn more about my baby.  This is my first time to have this breed so I’d like to know much about her. 
 
As requested, I attached a copy of her photo.  I got Kiera when she was 2 months old and now she’s almost 4 months.  She’s born in Feb 12.  I’ve watched her closely as she grew and realised lately that she has become bigger than I noticed.  I love to watch her when she’s asleep because she looks like a real human baby especially when she’s dreaming (sometimes barks) and snoring in her sweet slumber…she’s so funny. 
 
I think we’ve given her too much attention and affection that she has now developed some bad habits like growling, jumping, snapping, and has shown some kind of aggression too.  We live in the countryside and in the middle of the farm so when we’re out, we’re in the grass.  She likes eating grasses and everything she can pick up like stones, brids’ poop, or anything on the ground.  She is also distracted with different sounds and moving objects around like birds, few cars, tractors, etc and starts to chase them.  She bites her leash when we are walking although I have tried to control that a bit now.  I learned a lot from your website so maybe I need to refer to this most often. 
 
Thank you for the first issue of the Shuh Tzu Course that you have sent by email.  Looking forward to receiving the rest of the material in the coming days.

R.I.P. COTY THE SHIH-TZU

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Handsome Coty the model Shih Tzu- R.I.P.Hi Rebecca – It is with great sadness that I’m writing to tell you that Coty the puppy love of my life and star of one of your books has passed.  He had renal failure at the age of 13.  I tried everything I could to save him, but just couldn’t help him.  He was the most beautiful Shih tzu that ever lived and I will never be the same with out him.  I will one day look for another baby, and hope that you can recommend a wonderful breeder.  But for now, I thank you for publishing him in your past book.

 
This was His Mother’s day shot from a few years ago.  He did grow up to be a handsome boy.
 
Much love,
 
Felicia

Roscoe the 4 year old Shih Tzu

This is Rosco the  4 year old Shih-tzuROSCOE

Roscoe is a 4 year old male Shih Tzu who is definitely my best friend in the world. I love so many things about him I couldn’t possibly list them all, but one of the cutest things he does that really stands out, is the way he can make himself comfortable almost anywhere. In a duffle bag, clothes basket, on my clothes or shoes, in a closet etc..

Add this fact to the way he sleeps, on his back with his head turned way to the side, make it hard to tell which end is his head and which is his tail. Without a doubt the Shih Tzu is the most playful, lovable, loyal and absolutely cutest dog I ever had. My mom has one also and the two of them together is a show I could watch forever.

Bella the black and white Shih Tzu

Bella the Shih Tzu

Our new house member is Bella, black and white Shih-Tzu.
She is almost four month old. She is a completely new experience to us,as up to this time we mostly had rather big breeds such as Great Danes. After moving to Australia from South Africa we moved into a flat (apartment) and having really big dog would be problematic. But Bella fits perfectly. When my husband is at work Bella keeps me company and is a reason I do not spend too much time in bed in the morning. For any Shih-Tzu owner is of course nothing new – Bella is so cute and funny. She craves my presence and obviously does not like me disappearing from her scope. She loves walks in our green areas socializing with other dogs. In the beginning she was a bit tense but now the getting together with other canines goes better and better. I need only to prevent her from getting spoiled rotten as almost everyone wants to cuddle her. Children are even more heel-over-head in love…
Here are three of her pictures.

Gizzy the Shih Tzu

Friday, June 12th, 2009
Hi Rebecca, thanks for all the great photos you keep posting. Here is a photo of my dog Gizzy as you can see he loves his ball and usually after a long game of fetch he still doesn’t want to give it up, this photo was just before he fell asleep with the ball still in his mouth.

Thanks

Addison the Shih Tzu

Addison the Shih-Tzu- a true cub fan!Rebecca,

I am excited to get my doggy pictures on the web site.

What I love about Addison (named her that because we are true Cub fans) is she is so sweet. Addison is now a little over a year old. She loves me so much and how she shows me this is she sits on my lap with her paws on my shoulders and gives me kisses! Addison has a brother she loves too, he is a miniature Dachshund. They love to play together.

Cosmo the Shih Tzu

Cosmo the Shih TzuHello Rebecca, 

I’ve been meaning to send some pictures of my “fluff” for a while now. I purchased Cosmo from the Lonestar Shihtzu Rescue folks back in October, and he’s been a bundle of joy ever since. He loves to play, take walks and loves car rides. He is so much company to me. He greets me daily with lots of kisses when I return home from work and is a very good boy while I’m away. He hardly ever barks and is not destructive at all, and plays well with other “children”. Please add his picture to your web site and let others see what a cutie pie he is. 

Thanks.
