The temple dogs of Tibet, for over 2,000 years, the Shih Tzu were presented to the Chinese as gifts. It is thought that these dogs resembled the Lhasa Apso and that in China these were crossbred with the Pekingese. The Shih Tzu (pronounced shidzoo), or "lion dog." A white forehead blaze and tail tip are desired by show people and many others. This breed is lively, loves to go for a good walk, loves people and makes an excellent pet for apartment living.
