User added info
The Boshih has a semi-flat face. The tail should be long and curly. The hair will be medium to long, straight and come in many colors. The fur can also come in a short length, but still maintaining that soft puppy fur quality even after the dog grows to adulthood. Some fur will be soft or wiry in texture.
This breed is intelligent and fairly easy to train. They enjoy trips to the dog park and leash walks with their owners. They generally strive to please.
The are genetically disposed to issues with their eyes and respiratory systems. Since they are prone to those cute little bulging eyes, they can also pop out of their skull, or get damaged from playing. Also, since both breeds are brachycephalic (pug-nosed, short muzzle, round head) they tend to snore a lot and have breathing problems. It is important to keep them cool in hot weather. Their limited breathing also hinders their abilities to pant and cool themselves off. They can also suffer from sleep apnea.
Some are known to have skin allergies to wild plants such as clover.
This breed loves being around large families and children. They enjoy cuddling and pleasing their owners. They are very active and may not be suited for the elderly because of their playful nature.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.

Lulu has a perfect mix of both personalities. She loves to snuggle like the shih tzu but has the energy level of the Boston terrier. She loves kids and loves making friends especially with larger breeds. A great breed of dog.

Description:
She does really well in apartment life and loves to run around with her toys. She makes friends wherever she goes and thinks everyone is a friend. She really loves to chew, a few of my flip flops have been victims. She was pretty easy to housetrain, we ended up crate training and it works really well. We used to live in a house and then downsized to an apartment and we haven't had any problems with her going back on her bad potty habits. She is just a pure bundle of joy!

Well, she is just the sweetest thing! We got her when she was 7 wks. old. She weighed about 7 lbs. then. How adorable she was! She was the most affectionate of the litter. I really loved her black/white boston terrier markings. She has one blue eye and one brown one.
She is playful and sweet and full of surprises! One minute she is cuddly and the next she tries to bite your nose, playfully of course!
She gets very excited sometimes and when she was smaller would pee on you if you were holding her. She loves company and gets along well with our older dog, Saki, although she does try to aggrivate her.
She was getting pretty shaggy, and although I loved her long silky hair, it was getting hot so we had her trimmed down. She looked so much like a boston! And now you can see her cute little face.
She is so smart! We taught her to say "Mom". Really! It's a hoot! She tries to use it on me when she wants my attention! Hilarious!
I can't imagine every living without her! :-)
