The Shih Tzu is a breed of toy dog also known as the chrysanthemum dog because its very long and abundant facial hair grows out in all directions. The dog was developed in Tibet before the 7th century from the Pekingese and the Lhasa Apso. In Chinese it is known as the Shih-tzu kou (“lion dogâ€Â). The breed was immortalized in tapestries, paintings, and royal documents. Its coat is very long, dense, straight, and silky, and it is often groomed into a long topknot on the head. Its eyelashes are very long and it comes in all coat colors. Its ears are long and feathery and groomed to flow with the rest of coat so that its ears are almost indistinguishable. Its tail forms a lush, long plume over back; eyes are large, round, and very darkly shining. It is an active and alert little dog that is also trusting, outgoing, and an affectionate companion dog. It was the practice of the Dalai Lama of Tibet to give prize specimens of the Lhasa Apso to the visiting dignitaries from foreign lands, including those from China.
