Shih-Tzu Gifts

Shih-Tzu -  Although secrecy surrounds the origin of the Shih-Tzu, Chinese paintings and carvings dating back to the 7th century show dogs similar to the modern breed.

Whether the Shih-Tzu originated in Tibet or China, centuries of careful breeding by the Chinese have created the breed we know today.

Shih-Tzu means "Lion Dog" in Chinese.

Introduced into England in 1930 and recognised by The Kennel Club in 1946
