Brody the Shih Tzu must be adopted with his companion, Baby the"Shi" Maltese (adopted).

Description:
Brody was surrendered with his companion Baby because their owner could not care for them any more. Brody is housebroken, and while he likes to run free in the house, he is crate trained and will also sleep in his crate with no problem. He likes walks, cats, and other dogs, but not baths. He needs to stay with Baby.  Do you have room for two sweet little dogs in your home?

Are you familiar 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.
