Shih Tzus - Breeders - History
Shih Tzus seem to have a long history. His beauty and ability to adapt to various conditions played a role in contributing much to the popularity of the breed all over the world. The Shih Tzu comes from China where it was a favorite pet of royal families. There is evidence that Tibetan monks reputed this tiny creature as a holy dog. Its value shows in the fact that they used to present Chinese royalty with these adorable dogs. It is known that these dogs were sometimes given to Emperors of China during the Manchu dynasty as a sign of great honor and respect.

The breed's appearance in America did not go unnoticed. The US fanciers obtained the first Shih Tzus in the late 1930s. The breed gained in popularity very rapidly. In 1955, the AKC included the Shih Tzu into the Miscellaneous class. Individual dogs drew much public attention. One can only imagine what emotions a long coated cute Shih Tzu with a friendly open look used to inspire when walking along the street. It is only natural that very soon, in 1969, Shih Tzus started to enjoy full rights of the Toy Group of breeds. Nowadays, this temple dog with an imperial background and amiable personality is a famous pet and companion. Shih Tzus have come into homes of many owners.
