jasper is a black with white goatee shih tzu - lapso aso cross. looks 100% shih tzu. we named him jasper after the jasper park bear mascot to remember our trip out west.he is our second dog,he is a great playmate for our standard poodle wyatt. he is only 6 months old,still in the puppy stage.but looks like he will turn out to be a good dog. i was surprised to find that a smaller dog is actually more work than larger dog.....so don't let size fool you.

Pros: hypoallergenic,cute,lovable,playful,

Cons: house training issues,likes to chew,grooming costs.

Tuck is about 2yrs old and is one of the sweetest dogs i have ever met. He loves to cuddle and has to be around people! he is a little ocd about his toys and playing fetch. overall he is very sweet and i couldn't ask for a better dog!:)

Pros: He is very clean and never sheds.He also loves to cuddle!

Cons:

My Shih Tzu Gizzmo is so sweet I love him so much. He loves to have his belly rubbed and travels in the car with us. As long as he is with us he is happy. Gizzmo is always wanting to play with his toys. Gizzmo loves to bark and bark. He is sweet though and that his way of telling us that someone is at the door. SHIH TZU'S ROCK

Pros: Does not shed, very sweet, loving, playful

Cons: Barks A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have three of these lovely animals. They are mixed with long haired rat terrier. Even though they are not pure bred they are beautiful. They are sweet, very smart, and very loyal. My girls have lots of energy and love to give. They all have the same parents and I love them so much I can't help but get one out of every litter.

Pros:

Cons: My ONLY con is that they are very rambunctious sometimes.

They are affectionate, adorable and smart. I wish I could afford 10 of them. They like to play with us but they also keep themselves entertained. The secret is to have more than one! Heavy maintenance on the hair. I like it long so spend lots of time brushing. Summer is "puppy cut" time because of the heat. They can't tolerate heat/humidity so we keep them inside when it's hot.

Pros: Sweet. Small enough but not too small. Lots of kisses.

Cons: Lots of hair maintenance. Lots of ear cleaning.

I have had many dogs, (pound puppy), over the years. This year I got a little white shih tzu, since I didn't know much about the breed I got a book about them, after reading the book and talking to friends that have shih tzu, this breed does not like water. Well some one forgot to tell my baby dog. We have an above ground pool, she is always the first one in the water, she now cries to get in the tub, she want to play in the water all the time, she is so cute, we love her, (she makes everyone love her:).

Pros: Very Loving, very smart

Cons:

Although cute and fluffy, these pets need a lot of grooming and proper care. Caring for your Shit Tzu will make you and you dog pleased.

Pros: Adorable, cute and fluffy

Cons: Need a lot of grooming, have ear infections if don't have hair taken out of the ears, have to have their eyes clensed well

I have had my Shih Tzu for 6 years now and she me wrapped around her little paw. I keep her long coated, wash her once a week, and have no problems with keeping her looking great. She gets so excited when we come back from being gone for a short while ---like its been forever to her. She rushes to us if we sneeze and acts so concerned--too cute. She does so many things that make us totally love her.

Pros: Fun loving, playful, loves her walks, LOVING!!!!

Cons: None at all!

Pros: Sweet and adorable, does not shed, and is very playful.

Cons: Training issues, and chews alot.

My baby is 12 weeks. I got him at 9. He is absolutely the sweetest creature God created. I love him so much. He is spoiled. I took him to work and literally every, single person fell in love with him. I love coming home and he's there to greet me. He's also my alarm clock. I think it's the cutest thing.

Pros: Lovable, listens (knows his name already), very playful

Cons: Pottytraining, barks, and chews on everything

My dog absolutely radiates love and positive energy. I have always been a cat person and getting Maddy changed everything...She is so in tune to my moods she is always there when I need her. She is so very loyal and such a good girl I have read on many websites on how hard they are to train but I can count on one hand how many times she has actually gone on the floor in the house. She doesn't bark...She is just the best companion a person could ask for I will have more of this breed in the future...I can only hope to find another dog as wonderful as the one I currently have she is just wonderful!

Pros: Most loyal, Sweet, Very attentive, Loves everyone...Loves puppies and other dogs...Loves my cats

Cons: Lots of grooming..No other issues
