Leisure Living with the Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu, enigmatic and regal, and a glorious long, thick coat is a glamorous and beautiful canine. The Shih Tzu often comes across as haughty and disdainful in appearance, however, the true character of a Shih Tzu is a fun-loving clown who loves to provide its audience lots of happiness, smiles and laughter. Be not mistaken by their sweet faces…..the Shih Tzu is not actually an easy going lap dog. They can be strong-willed and assertive. They also are quite “nosey.” Shih Tzu just love to know everything that is going on in a household, and they will do anything it seems to find out. They sometimes think the house actually belongs to them instead of humans and they are in control of all things therein. Owners of Shih Tzu should have a no nonsense attitude when it comes to training these guys, or else the Shih Tzu may end up training you. One thing they generally are not is “aggressive.” Owners of Shih Tzu also need to become strong leaders of the pack, or else one of your Shih Tzu or the only one you have will take this position. They do not realize humans have many other things to do other than just sit with them and pretend like a Shih Tzu as they are. If this could be the case, I promise you, your Shih Tzu would be in absolute heaven, and would never misbehave in any way whatsoever. They love their people and nothing is more enjoyable to a Shih Tzu than being in total oneness with their people. However, we need to rise and take out the garbage now and then. Don’t worry, your Shih Tzu will have its nose in the garbage can, and then on your heels while you take the garbage out. When you come back in, there he or she will be at the cabinet where you are getting a garbage bag out. Now, walk over to the can and place the bag in. Watch it! If you step too quickly, you will step on the feet of your Shih Tzu who is now gazing up at you, standing by your side, as you slide the new garbage bag into the can. After a few times of stepping on their toes accidentally, most of them learn to watch your feet and get out of the way. I have a Shih Tzu puppy now that is only five weeks old. She knows somehow the sounds of when I am coming down the hall toward her area with food. I go down that same hall many times in a 24 hour period. This particular puppy never makes a sound. When I am coming down the hall with her food (maybe she smells the food) she starts to “quarrel.” I can just hear what her actual words would be if she could speak words. She is probably saying: “yes, yes, I want my food, I want my food, right now, and I just can’t wait to get my food, hurry, hurry.” She turns around and around and around when I get to her and is just so in love with her food. She is a character already. I will have her on the web site for sale soon. She is the very tiny type, probably will be Teacup Shih Tzu size. Grooming the Shih Tzu is another essential commitment. This is especially true if you want the long, flowing coats. I want them, but my gosh, what a chore this is to keep them in long coat. I go through periods with my Shih Tzu, sometimes long, and then sometimes the puppy cut, and other times, especially hot summertime, shave them to the skin. It all grows back out and more it seems in no time at all. It takes a good 4 hours to groom a Shih Tzu in full coat, if you do everything that needs to be done in one sitting. I should say it takes me that long. For those who lead hectic lives, you can still enjoy the comical antics of the Shih Tzu and keep their coat in a puppy trim or some other short hairstyle. This does not stop their wonderful personalities. The Shih Tzu, to me, is just like no other animal in this world. It is my favorite. And did I say animal? I often refer more to them as people. They are so very intelligent, and compassionate. If you have a bad day, you can be sure your Shih Tzu will be right there by your side and eventually he or she will do something that suddenly makes you forget the world outside, and you enter back into their world of nothing but good and happy times. In my opinion, there are very good choices for people who need mood elevation or mood enhancement.

Shih Tzu Puppies for Sale: A 2008 Legend of the Saddle Marking The origin of the Shih Tzu is most likely Tibet, however, it has always been categorized as a Chinese breed. Tibet is a remote area full of mountains on the Indian-Chinese border. The relationship between these two areas has had a long time reputation of being quite stormy. Buddhism is the religion of Tibet. Buddhism originated in India. One of the main beliefs of Buddhism is that souls are reborn into another body (not necessarily human). It is a learning process toward the soul leading a perfect, spiritual, Buddhist life. As a result the soul achieves nirvana, leaving nothing else for it to learn on earth. The early Tibetans believed holy Buddhist monks who transgressed were reincarnated as small, short-legged, hairy dogs, which were known as “Ha-pa,” meaning lap dog. These particular dogs lived in Buddhist monasteries and were treated with great respect. The lion inherited the symbols of Indian Buddhism and was a revered figure for the Tibetans. The lion also had a very close association with the Shih Tzu according to Indian Buddhism belief. One legend tells of Buddha Manjusri, the god of learning, who had a Ha-pa, which could turn into a lion for the Buddha to ride. A saddle marking on a Shih Tzu is still a highly prized characteristic for this reason. It is peculiar to me that the first male Shih Tzu I purchased was black and white with a perfect saddle marking. I left early from a job that was draining the life out of me and making me like a person walking around in a trance, never able to neither smell the flowers when they bloomed in the spring nor feel the stillness of fall or the extreme temperature changes of winter. The purchase proceeded many years, still going on, of learning experiences in many different areas and subjects. I learned after purchasing the male of the highly prized saddle marking, which must have been my personal Ha-pa that turned into a lion for me to ride upon through all these learning adventures. I do not see myself as a God of learning, however, it seems as if since the purchase I cannot “stop” learning something continually, every day, I am learning, learning, learning. Before the purchase, my life was pretty stand still, and without a lot of change or movement. I personally feel a mysterious spirituality about acquiring my Shih Tzu. I also feel as though they were a gift from heaven in many different ways, and an answer to prayers for deliverance from the lifestyle I lead. Further, and since acquiring the Shih Tzu, I concentrate more upon achieving “perfection” within my soul. I have lived in a haven with much time to think deeply about my soul. Howbeit, this haven is full of Lions, but not deadly Lions as was with Daniel in the Lions Den bible story. It has been said by many Shih Tzu writers that centuries ago, Tibetans could not have ever seen a lion. They only developed their own version of a lion. The small temple dogs were bred and groomed to resemble the Tibetan image of a lion. The word “Shih Tzu Kou,” (as the breed was known) actually means “Lion Dog.” I really think a cat resembles more the lion. The shaggy mane of the dogs that lived in the highly mountainous regions of Tibet met with great extremes of temperature. The coat of these dogs offered them a practical purpose of keeping warm, and being lap dogs, they also kept their owners warm. To fall in love with a Shih Tzu or many Shih Tzu, at least one must always share the bed of its master or mistress. They are surprisingly still excellent hot-water bottles for their owners. Though I do live in a haven with them, the transition from one lifestyle to another required some very compassionate and comforting companions, of whom the Shih Tzu has provided. Now China and Tibet have never gotten along with each other. Tibet’s history has featured many wars with and invasions by its powerful neighbor of China. I suppose China’s Emperors and Tibet’s Dalai Lamas (spiritual leaders) did just about everything they could to create cordial relations between these two countries that included: • Tactical marriages arranged between royal Chinese princesses and Tibetan noblemen The dogs presented as gifts were considered precious animals. They were never seen outside the Imperial Palace in Peking (now Beijing). They became a symbol of wealth and royalty. For this reason, the ordinary people were not allowed to own them. It was even against the law and punishable by death if the law was broken for the “ordinary” people to own a Shih Tzu. It is now thought that the palace eunuchs that were trusted with the everyday care of the dogs, sold Shih Tzu (particularly those that were not suitable for breeding) outside the palace for monetary gain. It has also been said the eunuchs may have fed some of the dogs (probably the better ones) glass to make them die shortly after the sale to stop others from breeding. At any rate, I am glad some Shih Tzu survived all that and are here with us today! They are a dog breed with a long, mysterious and spiritual history. In my opinion, they are more than just a dog or pet as well. What that more is depends upon who you are perhaps and what your particular need is. Written by: Connie Limon.
