Teacup Shih Tzus

October 19, 2006

The smaller size shih tzu are NOT smaller just because they are UNHEALTHY. This is a downright myth or lie being spread by those who are in favor of only one size shih tzu, which they say, is the only size shih tzu that should be on the market. And the ill-will I have heard from this group of people against these little guys is almost unreal, as if these smaller size shih tzus should not have the same rights as the ’standard’ size, maybe not even the ‘right to live’ if this side of the poll had its ultimate way about things. And……as if people who have these little guys for sale command a higher price, that this is proof the breeder is doing something outrageously WRONG. Well……..like I said…….RARELY does anyone ask me for a ’standard’ size shih tzu……

The Great Dane

October 9, 2006

There are some breeds that are instantly recognizable. The Great Dane is one of those: its powerful, yet never clumsy, form makes it the target of much admiration. Of course, its more than the Danes robust build that makes it so easy to spot; its the natural bearing that it carries. This dog has been called the ‘Apollo’ of all breeds, and with good reason.
