ACV customers....here is the first grouping of Shih tzus rescued recently from the nearby Covington breeding operation of 100 dogs. My mother had a Shih tzu many, many decades ago that we learned was the only female in a litter of 4 whose brothers were quickly already American or Canadian champions. We adopted her from my Aunt & Uncle in Virginia and she (Yoko) was the first to be bought from that litter and to of all people, a young vibrant family that were the furthest thing from a show dog home. Well, quickly we learned so much about this breed, the royal dog of China's Forbidden City. Loyal to the death, barks only when there is something to actually bark about, loving beyond measure and beautiful when one allows their coat to grow to its correct length although "leaf sweeper" can take on a whole new meaning. So, back to this rescue of 100 and what it means to you and I.....yes, this is a sad situation. No telling what these dogs have experienced. But, I bet if you give one a chance, the time to settle in and unconditional love - any Shih tzu will return it tenfold. You will have one loyal, intelligent companion. Our Yoko lived to her middle teens. She had 3 beautiful litters. Never put up with any of our Afghans taunting her to a "catch me if you can". She was the Queen Empress of this farm. When I picture Mom with one of her dogs, its always Yoko. Devotion to the end. So, if you can use more of that in your life, trust me, you won't be disappointed. Check these dogs and the others of this situation out.
