Description:
Diggaby is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, so I guess that makes him a Shidoodle!! His momma is Mai Ling, a pure bred Shih Tzu and is daddy is a black Poodle. Mai Ling and her 5 puppies were dropped off at Seminole Animal Control by their owner who then called us and asked us to go rescue them. He said he had too many dogs and couldn't keep them. MaryBeth was happy to have us take them as she was concerned about them living in the unheated shelter. It has been my pleasure to foster this little family, and what a joy they have been!
Diggaby is the biggest of the litter. He has the curliest silkiest fur in the litter, all black with just a touch of white on his chest and on his back toes. He is named Diggaby in honor of the holes I now have in my back yard.... He loves to wrestle, most especially with his brother So Big and sister Jinx.
I've included a picture of their mom, Mai Ling, plus Ralph, my Basset/lab with whom they love to play!

Are you unfamiliar with the Shih Tzu breed? Pronounced SHEET-sue, they are known as alert, spunky, happy and hardy. They are bred with an underbite which gives them a constant "smile." Traditionally, their coat is kept long, with ears blending into the body, distinct mustache, and a top knot secured with a bow. However, in our Florida climate, many are clipped short to relieve them of the heat. An alert watch dog, Shih Tzus like to bark but are usually quiet in the house. Originally from China, they were a favorite of the Imperial Chinese court and so revered that for many years after the Chinese began trading with the West, they refused to sell, or even give away, any of the little dogs. It was not until 1930 that the first pair was imported to England. The life expectancy of Shih Tzus in 16 years.
