My dog Princess is a shih tzu. we dont think she is one really. she has a snout and weighs 25 lbs. she is 9 months old too. she looks nothing like my other dog. my other dog bandit who is a shih tzu has no snout and weighs 9 lb and is 1 and a half old.
Do you have any pics? Any possibility she could be a lhasa apso instead of a shih tzu?
no i dont. on my other computer i do if I can get it working. Yeah I thought about that but i dont think so. she doesnt really look like one.
where did you buy her? If she's from a pet store or a random breeder, there's a huge chance that she is only a little bit Shih Tzu :rolleyes:..
I'm guessing she isn't registered?
Welcome to my world! I bought a "Pekingese" from a backyard breeder (BAD IDEA!!!) and I got an oversized, 20 lb, snouted, gigantic, allergic dog with half the fur a Peke is supposed to have. Did I mention he has a severe underbite and bulgy eyes???:rolleyes: I keep kicking myself for buying him, and now I regret that decision like heck. My guess is your dog isn't purebred and like Bckrazy said, he probably only has a teeny bit of Shih Tzu(and, btw, Shih Tzus have snouts. They're just not as perceptible as a Lhasas, for example).
That said and done, bad breeding of unregistered dogs has ruined a lot of dog breeds. I wouldn't be surprised if your "Shih Tzu" and my "Pekingese" are distant relatives:p :rolleyes:Quote:
