The Chinese name 西施犬 pronounced xishi quan certainly does not mean "lion dog." It could associate the dog to the famous beauty Xi Shi, written 西施. "Lion dog" could be written 狮子犬 pronounced xizi quan much closer to the Engish name Shih Tzu. The lede correctly says various theories exist of the breed's origin. But the lion dog theory of the breed's name does not fit with the Chinese name 西施犬. Colin McLarty (talk) 02:48, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
