Shih Tzu (confirmed introduction)
Shih Tzu can easily give people a sense of pride, but in fact its character is very brilliant. The Shih Tzu originated in the 17th century. It is an ancient ornamental dog with a small size and nostalgia for its owner. It is a thick, colorful toy dog. This dog is very famous in China and its price is relatively expensive.
As far back as the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the sixth and seventh centuries, a small lion dog that was very similar in appearance and appearance to the Lhasa Apso appeared in many literary and historical materials and pictures. About 1645, the Manchus marched into Tibet and brought the Tibet to Tibet. The Tibetan Lhasa Apso was also brought to the local area and raised in the Forbidden City. Through continuous development and training, the Shih Tzu was produced. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty in 1908, the dog began to be smuggled overseas. During the Second World War, the U.S. military brought Shih Tzu dogs from the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom, the United States and other countries successively recognized the Shih Tzu dog as an independent breed and established exhibition standards. Then the dog often appeared in various dog shows.
The Shih Tzu’s ancestors lived in Tibet, China. There is a Tibetan puppy similar to the Shih Tzu in paintings from the sixth century AD. It is said that in the middle ages of the 17th century, the Shih Tzu was obtained by crossing the Lhasa Apso lion dog dedicated to the emperor by the Dalai Lama of Tibet and the Pekingese dog. The foreigners called it "Shih Tzu" to show that it was as beautiful and fragrant as the Chinese beauty Xi Tzu. The Shih Tzu is also like a lion, and according to the dialect, it is also like a dog with a face like a chrysanthemum.
Although the Shih Tzu is native to China, most of the purest breeds have flown overseas, and the number in China is very small.
