Shih Tzu Print

Shih Tzu’s have lived the pampered life of royal lap warmers for the past 1000 years in China. The breed remained virtually unknown to the outside world all the way up until the 1930s, when they were brought to Europe. Because their numbers dwindled down to almost nothing during the first half of the 20th century, every Shih Tzu alive today can be traced to one of 14 dogs that were used to rebuild the breed.
