Oneof the oldest known dog breeds, Shih Tzu-style dogs were depicted in Chinesepaintings as early as 624 A.D. During the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 A.D.) a pairof Shih Tzus was given to the Chinese court by king of Viqur. The breedoriginated in Tibet, but it was later bred and developed in China around thetime of the Qing Dynasty in the 1600s. With its noble carriage, the Shih Tzuwas the pet favored by royalty during the Ming Dynasty, from 1368 to 1644 A.D.A breeder and Shih Tzu enthusiast of the time was Dowager Empress Cixi, whoalso bred pugs and Pekingese.
Breeddevelopment was jeopardized during the Communist revolution when most Shih Tzuswere killed, likely due to their association with the existing Chinese royalty.Only a precious few survived. Modern-day Shih Tzus are descendants of theseven males and seven females that were imported to England prior to themassive kill-off. Among those initial 14 dogs was a Pekingese that accidentallywas crossed into the Shih Tzu line. The Shih Tzu was imported to England in the1930s and wasnt considered a separate breed from Oriental breeds by theEnglish Kennel Club until 1934. It arrived in the United States in 1958 and wasrecognized as a unique breed by the
AKCin 1969. It is classified in the toy group. The Shih Tzu name originates fromthe Chinese words, Shih which means lion, and Tzu meaning son or child.While often referred to as the lion dog, the more accurate translation is lionson. Shih Tzu enthusiasts would agree that this charming little guy is indeeda furry child, a true family member.
