Today I had the pleasure of holding and playing with a little 6 week old shitzu pup. The new owner asked me if I wanted the last remaining puppy (a little male). I don't want the puppy for me, but my mom has always wanted a "teacup" breed and the puppy was small enough to fit in my outstreched hand, and Cassie needs a little companion. As some of you may know I am buying a house in a couple of months, and Graham & Cassie stay with my mom while we are in the process of buying. When we move, I am taking Graham and leaving Cassie. Graham does not like Cassie anyway, and I could not take both dogs out of my moms life, her heart would break. Her and Cassie are really close and a perfect match. Anyway, my mom and I both think it was be a good idea to get a small companion dog for Cassie, since she likes little dogs and she needs a friend.
So when I told my mom about that adorable little puppy I held today her eyes got all wide like a little child and she said, "how much was the puppy and are there any left?" I know my mom has always wanted a little teeny dog and this shitzu is the perfect size and a perfect size for Cassie. I told her I would get her the puppy but I had to study about the breed a bit before to make sure it's a good match. I need to know what their temperments are like. Are they friendly dogs? Are they pretty mellow or are they high-strung? Are they relatively easy to house train?
If anyone could give me any info on shitzu's I would appreciate it. I will look on the web and see if I can find any info about their temperments, but if anyone knows first hand how their temperments are I would love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone,
Leslie
