Although cross breeding is discouraged in all breeds, members agree that no Chinese Imperial Dog shall be crossbred to any other breed in order to protect the purity of the CHINESE IMPERIAL DOG. This is what the CID club who breeds under developed shih-tzu. They have a member who cross breeds and still allows her to do so this club is a joke

I really think you got lucky with your dee dee . Please look @ akc weight requirement for shih-tzu. I have 4 shih-tzu and though I have also produced small shih-tzu my vets never liked that. I live in a large city and have had 3 to 4 vets because of my shih-tzu going into labor and having to resort to a er type clinic for animals. I have met a vet yet who agrees with the breeding dwn of shih-tzu. My vets if anyone would like their Vet Qualifications says that when you breed under 9 lbs in shih-tzu you breed down organs. I only want to make comment here for I have not been to this site in awhile. Please beware of shih-tzu under 9 pounds. Ask your vet WHAT is really bred DOWN when they are reproduced sooo small. Organs are down sized. Its like who would in their right mind Go against not only akc who says up to 16 pounds but most of all against a Vet. I think the vets know and ask your vet if breeding down shih-tzu is wise ethical or moral. MOST OF ALL ITS Wrong according to 4 vets in Mobile with degrees from some very influencial colleges. Please buy shih-tzu the size it should be. I noted that the breeder reported have a small male(3 lbs) and I assure you under weight shih-tzu is inhumane if bred to be under weight on purpose. Who would want to go against nature ? 10-16 pounds is a shih-tzu A true Shih-tzu that is healthy and no organs bred down. Always find a reputable breeder in your area then maybe ripoff animal services can take down this area of ripoff. Remember if your son was 5'4 you would love him or 6'2 Healthy is the key to shih-tzu and downsizing is not a wise choice. I have king charles girl and boy and I hope some idiot doesn't comes along and wants to down size this new found breed of pets I love. Oh my king CHarles is spayed along with my Tzus.
