Shih Tzu Dog Breed Profile

Added on Nov 8th, 2009
We have two shih tzu's 6 and 8 called Sushi an Yumyum . Sushi is great with everyone including other animals whereas Yumyum is a little wary especially of young children , she also is totally blind with both eyes having been removed at different times because of infections after a cyst and a detached retina . Sushi is paranoid of banging doors , backfiring cars , fireworks and some background music on the TV whereas Yumyum doesn't get put out by any of those things .They are so inteligent and do have their obstinate ways sometimes but mostly they are really good . I would and often do , recommend them to anyone , we love them to bits. Sushi waits outside the shower door until I come out and he loves the surfboard in the pool . Because of Yumyum's blindness , she is so aware with her hearing , she still chases things when you throw them and generally finds them with a lot of sniffing .We came on this site because one of them was snoring for the first time this morning and we are no longer concerned .
