Above is an  interesting discussion on Shih Tzu colouring.

And below are some interesting photographs showing colours.

( This web site shows teacup breeding which is not an officially recognised form of breeding here in Australia if I remember correctly. Teacup breeding it is when you take the smallest of small and use them to breed undersized dogs.) 

So what colour would you call my gray Tzu?

Kuri,the most gorgeous Shih Tzu!

Hasn't Kurumidza got even more gorgeous than ever; he is the most lovely grown up Shih Tzu I could ever dream of having (I try not to have favourites)! Although he forgets to be grown up sometimes, as when he finds a kids toys handy - this was my little (40 year old) sister's toy from when we ewre kids, so it was a good thing one of the kids took this cute photo - I would have taken the toy away straight away! Kids toys are so much more fun that doggy toys! We usually mange to hide them from the boy.

I can't wait to see what  kind of puppies he will throw....he is a gorgeous looking future Daddy dog- ain't he? And he gets on well with the other dogs too and is a real people person, to the point that he shows off and demands attention when he is not getting enough or if another dog gets too much. As Erica feeds the dogs and adores them to bits, I think she can proudly say he loves her back the most too. If she sits in the garden for a second, he springs up onto her lap! When Erica's lap is not available his favourite spot is where we fold washing as the tiles are nice and cool, and it is very hot outside these days! He would sit on your feet as you fold washing if you would let him - lovely boy. I am excited about using him as a stud dog in the future. In the mean while he is just pure fun!
(And I am pleased he has out grown the early mornings!)
