Tashi the Shih Tzu
Puppy
Breed: Shih Tzu
Tashi's mom says: I received Tashi for my birthday. After several months of research and an exhaustive search for just the right little girl, we found Tashi with a great local breeder. I knew she was mine the moment I met her and looked into her eyes. The wait to bring her home seemed to last forever. Although I have owned lots of dogs in my life -- a beagle, cocker spaniels, and lots of mixed breed dogs -- Tashi is the most amazing dog I have ever shared my life with. She takes her job of being a lap dog very seriously and will insist that I provide the lap when she thinks it's been too long. Health issues often limit my activity, and she provides me with immeasurable comfort at those times. She is truly the love of my life. She brings me great joy again and again every day.

Tashi is just beautiful, a little soft furball! I'm sure it was fate that brought you together. There's a reason they call all dogs MAN'S BEST FRIEND!
Tashi looks like she is the sweetest little girl and I'm sure she is the apple of her mom's eye. What a cuddly baby.
Oh Tashi! What a good girl you are to your mama! You are blessed with fabulous looks and a wonderfully kind soul--- I hope you and your people have many happy years together!
Tashi is truly Amazing, Adorable, Awesome - Triple A - God brought you together. I gave her 11 biscuits, but the didn't register.
I'm so glad you found Tashi!! She is such an adorable puppy. She will be a wonderful companion for you and bring you much comfort, joy, and friendship. Most of all, undieing love. May the Lord bless you with many years together. She is truely a precious gift from God!!!! Lots of snuggles and belly rubs from us and our critter gang.
She is PRECIOUS!!!! My mom had a Shih Tzu and she was one of the best babies. They are very cuddly aren't they? I wish when my mom passed on I could have taken "Bitty", I couldnt but my mom's neighbor did and she lived out the rest of her life in comfort with them. God Bless you and your precious baby...may you have a long and healthy life together!
Tashi is one of the prettiest Shih Tzus that I have seen. Her eyes seem to look right into your soul. What a doll. You are blessed to have such a cute and cuddly bundle of fur to warm your lap and your heart.
Beautifiul, beautiful girl!!! Luck you -- enjoy your cuddles and snuggles with such a pretty little girl. Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous....
I have a Shih Tzu as well. She has given me loads of love for the last couple of years. I too, have health issues. These fuzzy little babies are very sensitive & will always be close by. Tashi is adorable!!! Enjoy her! :)
She's picture-perfect, and I'm so glad that Tashi has brought such love and joy to your life. She's a beauty!
Good start to any morning, Tashi and milk on the breakfast table! Really could eat her with a spoon...hold the sugar, she's sweet enough!
Much love, good health, happiness and warm laps to you!

Isn't it wonderful the amount of love and comfort these little dogs bring, with their beautiful eyes and obvious joy. Tashi is certainly one of these, and you are very lucky to have her. When one has health issues they instinctively know it, and show their love and concern with every move. There is no better company than a little doll like Tashi! Enjoy her to the fullest.
Normally I'm not fond of shitz tzu, however yours is definitely the exception to the rule. I just love her chocolate dipped ears and expressive little face. One word of advice though. When she demands your lap - make her sit or down/stay before getting it. Otherwise she will become boss and start threatening your friends and visitors - because she will think she owns you..
Other than that, I'm sure she is a wonderful companion and fulfills her role in your life to perfection! I know my blood pressure reduces when I enjoy all these puppy pictures, and when I play with my own three mid-size girls :)

One of our babies is a shitz tzu. He's not nearly as cute as Tashi.
She's so cute. Beautiful eyes.

Tashi is adorable, but being a "tzu" mom I am probably somewhat biased!! :-) They are wonderful little dogs and I know you will enjoy her for many years.
My boy Sparky sends her a big doggy woof and kiss, and dozens of biscuits from me - his mom.

Tashi is just a sweetheart. I have a cavalier king charles who also demands a lap to sit on. They get very attatched to you, which is lovely. I hope you have many wonderful years with Tashi. She is a little darling!
Ooh, lucky you - I'd love a little Tashi for my birthday! She sounds like a bundle of joy. 11 biscuits for Tashi.
My heart melted. My own Tashi was a LhasaApso that lived 15 years. Incredibly smart girl, she was too. Did you know that Tashi means "luck" in the language of Tibet? I hope your Tashi brings you lots.
Tashi is a beautiful little "therapy puppy". I think you got a very prescious birthday present. May you and Tashi have many wonderful years of cuddling. Hugs, kisses and 11 biscuits.
Tashi is so precious. I have a Shih Tzu too. I love her with all my heart. She is like the little girl I never had. I have fibromyalgia so I know what the physical limit is like. When I get so tired and need a nap she lays on the pillow with me. It's like she knows.
Tashi is a lovely little girl. I had a Lhasa Apso and a Shih Tzu and they are truly sweet little lap dogs. Tahsi you continue to take good care of your mommy. I hope you get lots of cookies, belly rubs, and snuggles. :)
tashi is a lovely furball-i have a lhasa and had a shih tzu and they are totally the best doggies!
Tashi is a beautiful girl and I'm glad she is a good companion for you. Animals are truly a blessing.
I had a friend whose mother had Alzheimers and her Shih Tzu would sit in her mom's lap all day and keep her company. Such sweet dogs.
Tashi is beautifully groomed!!

I have always known & believed in the theraputic effects of animal companionship. More recently, this phenomenon is being studied & documented. It sounds like this little one is "just what the doctor ordered!" Many years of happiness for both of you!
oh yes, 11 biscuits! I keep forgetting this part---btw does anyone know what the biscuit score does?
That's a face NO ONE could ever resist,and if they could something is wrong with them.Enjoy your little companion.I'm glad you two found each other.
Ok so I was always a big dog owner and then got a beagle and now have two girls one beagle one half beagle and I love these little dogs! she is a cutie alright! remember to keep her clipped and well gromed
Tashi, is a beautiful lovable puppy, i have 2 my self Cindi Lou & Mugsy Sue, I one of mine looks alot like her. They are the love of my life, being alone they make my days and nights full. At one time i 3 wouldn't mind it again. Tell Tashi, Cindi & Mugs say Hi, and wish they could play with her.
Stay health and just Love her as much as you can, as you know she will always love you back.

I too have a Shih Tzu! Dottie Jean is 19 months old and just the love of my life! she looks like a white and black version of your Tashi! Enjoy her, and savor every precious little snort snuffle and sneeze and every snuggle and tounge bath! God bless you and Tashi!!!
She is beautiful!
And beautifully presented!
*sneaks extra doggie treats under the table for Tashi*
shhhhhhhh

Just look at that face! I do believe that Tashi has the sweetest face I've ever seen! Lots of hugs (and biscuits) for her..........
Tashi is adorable! Fate brought you together, I'm sure. My grandmother has a Shis Tzu also, her name is Samantha(Sammy) and she takes her role as a lap dog VERY seriously. Lots of *HUGS* and *KISSES* for Tashi!
They are soft (replying to comment above), just like a favorite teddy bear, except alive and kissing. It's a feel you crave forever, especially after you've lost an old one.
Congratulations, Tashi and your mom on finding each other.
I'm sure Tashi has your heart irretrievably wrapped around her paws by now, but please don't abide what HDonald says above. Apparently he/she has had a bad experience. Tashi is NOT the exception to the rule when it come to Shih Tzu. She is the norm. They're known for being lovable, affectionate, comical, playful and smart. As a breed, they're the most loving companion you could dream of.
After a lifelife of love and companionship and rescue of this breed, I can guarantee you that they will not "start threatening your friends and visitors." That's just so ridiculous to anyone who knows the breed. They only danger friends and visitors face is being loved to death.

Tashi is not at all jealous of any friends or family. She even allows me to hold other dogs without a display of jealousy.
When she "insists" that I provide her a lap so she can do her duty as a lap dog, it's most often because she senses that my pain has increased and I need to sit down anyway. She just provides the gentle reminder so I'll not push myself too far.
Thank you all for your sweet comments about my wonderful little girl. It's been such fun to share her with others in this way.

She is adorable and very similar in colouring (British spelling...) to my wee Harry.
I believe in fate and that is what has brought you and your wee girl together, you were meant for each other. When my Mum passed a week later my first King Charles Tango came into mine and my Dads life, we had him for six wonderful years and he passed on a week after my Dad. I believe he was sent to keep my Daddy company until it was his time to join my Mum.
I wish you many,many happy years with your percious wee girl.
God bless

ps I tried to give her 11 biscuits but it would not work....

Just adorable, I could never resist that face either and it sounds like she has a soul to match...enjoy each other!
Love Tashi! You and Tashi are so fortunate to have each other. Shis Tzus are just amazing and I am sure you have a terrific little love to spend time with. Soooooooooo SWEET :)
Much Love from Elizabeth and MIss Katie =O)

Tashi, you are so pretty!!!!!!!! And I just love your coloring. Keep getting spoiled! A million treats to you :-)
Enjoy your beautiful girl, and don't be surprised if she ends up golden and white instead of liver and white -- she looks exactly like my boy Sam did when he was her age, and he lightened to a gorgeous gold as he got older. Many very happy years with her!
For the record, I've been mommy or co-mommy to four tzus and auntie to three more, with my current baby Chester being half tzu and half Lhassa, and I can tell you Tashi is a perfect example of the breed. I've never met one who got demanding or threatening or anything else the above poster 'warned' about. My only piece of advice is to keep her in puppy clip -- less work for you, and much happier and more comfortable for her, not to mention they're so darn cute that way!

Wow--this is one cute little pup. I read a couple folks wrote and said they were volunteers at Shis Tzus abuse centers. Where are these centers? I'm almost 59, not in the best of health and all alone and in serious need of companionship. I think a puppy may be too much but a year or two old pup would be great!Can anyone help??
very cute pup, its got that intelligent look, i love it when dogs have that look its sooo adoooorable
Tashi is a beautiful little girl. My step Mom has one just like her but he is about 16 years old and his name is Mr. Wiggles but he is not in very good health. I know that you will have many memorable years with such a sweet doggy as Tashi.
Your Tashi is the spittin' image of my Dreyfus, also a Shih Tzu, who has been my "baby" since Thanksgiving 1996. He is 11 now, but still a sweet little character, who competes for my attention with his compatriot Mai Li the Lhasa Apso. Tashi is adorable. I hope you have many years together. Don't let that post about her becoming possessive of you be a concern. As others have already told you, this is a non-issue. Your baby will definitely communicate that she loves you, but not in a negative or threatening fashion.
Tashi is a regal beauty and a little lovebug. It sounds like she is your perfect mate. Thanks for sharing her gorgeous pics and your heartwarming story. Many happy years together.
Tashi is darling! She has the most striking coat and her coloring is gorgeous. I have a mixed breed who is part Shi-Tzu and part Maltese (or Bichon??? we're not sure, the shelter took a guess) and I see so much of him in Tashi, especially the lap dog part. He's one of the best I've ever had the privilege of providing a lap to, and he knows how to snuggle in for a nice extended session.
Congrats on having such a wonder companion!

awww...shih tzus are the cutest ever and tashi is no exception!
why does she not have 11 biscuits?!?!

I'm in LOVE :) I have a Shih Tzu with almost the same coloring as Tashi. Mine has light colored eyes and a light nose. I just ADORE her therefore your Tashi gets 11 billion biscuits from me :) They are so sweet..
Tashi is very beautiful & her eyes are so compassionate & expressive. Whenever I've had a dog connection like that, at first I thought I picked them, but in reality they picked me & just let me think it was the other way for a while. I'm currently looking at adopting a sweet little lhasa mix & have been looking at possible names. Tashi was one of my top choices as it means "Lucky" or "Auspicious" in Tibet. You probably already knew that. Thank you for sharing pics & stories. Many happy times to you both.
There is nothing on earth more loveable than a shih tzu. They are the absolute GREATEST possible companion dogs. Mine will be five at the end of this week, and I still find myself constantly stopping dead in my tracks, looking at her and smiling at how amazingly sweet, irresistable and loving she is. I can't imagine a more loving companion, especially for someone who frequently finds themselves unable to wander too far from home. Enjoy your baby girl. She is truly precious!
For Mr. Myke: If you go to http://www.google.co m and do a search on "shih tzu rescue" you will find a lot of options, in many different regions of the country. You just need to sift through and see what you can find.
And I would agree, that an adult shih tzu could make a great companion option. They are so people-friendly that they will usually tend to take well to new owners, and (with the exception of the grooming) are generally pretty low maintenance (assuming decent health, of course). For someone with shaky health they are especially good choices because they don't have huge exercise needs. Their biggest need is YOU and your affection.

I thought this might have been a professional portrait! What a gorgeous girl and talented model. She looks like she's got the biggest kindest heart. Many wonderful happy healthy years to you both.

Tashi sure is a photogenic little girl! What a blessing to have a companoin who is so tuned into your needs.
Too hard to pick a favorite pic. She is absolutely the most precious little girl! Beautiful, beautiful face. Shih tzus are sweet, expressive, loving companions. I have two myself! Glad she makes you happy.

I'm a little behind on looking at my daily "Daily Puppy" feature. I would never delete the older emails however, and go to the most current Daily Puppy. I'm afraid that I'd miss out on seeing all of the cute, adorable puppies!! Tashi is a [b]prime[/b] example! She is absolutely [i]gorgeous[/]. God Bless you and your beautiful, sweet companion. I am very happy for you both. Your pictures are [red]awesome[/red] too! This one looks just like out of a book or magazine. Very professional looking.
p.s. I too don't get the bisquit thing. I am never able to give 11 bisquits, but only a tiny piece of one bisquit. Am I doing something wrong?

What a cute puppy. I just want to hold her a snuggle her. She looks like so soft. Zillons of biscuits
What a beauty little Tashi is. Her sweet nature is obvious by that darling facial expression of hers. I hope you and this precious girl have many happy and healthy years together. Lots of hugs and kisses for Baby Tashi.
Tashi is so cute. I received a male Shih-Tzu a week before Christmas. He is 4 months old. I was the same way you were. As soon as I saw his face, I knew he was the one. The lady I got him from commented to me, O', he is the one with attitude. I said, "O' yes, he is the one I want. Buzz is sable/gray and has never been cut. I plan to take him to a groomer the end of next week. I was on the Internet looking for pictures of Shih Tzu puppy cuts when I saw your Tashi. I told my wife. This is the cut I want for Buzz. I copied your pictures and plan on taking them to the groomer with me. Thank you so much.

What a darling baby you have! I also have a Shih Tzu puppy and love him to pieces! They are the most amazing dogs, you just can't go wrong with them. I put Mario's picture up on http://www.sweetcuteandcuddlypups.c om/Shihtzuhaircuts.html Maybe I will here also after seeing your's!
I am in love with this baby, she is beautiful and has gorgeous eyes. I have a beautiful male shih tzu Jack, he would love Tashi as well. If I was to own another baby she would be my choice, she has pulled my heartstrings and am in love again. Got to love those Shih Tzus !!!
Lots of puppy hugs and kisses,
Eve
What a beautiful little girl Tashi is! We have a shih-tzu as well and he is just the greatest dog in the world. We love Rudy to pieces!
Tashi is identical to our Dutches. We lost her last month in an accident and miss her terribly. It was somewhat conforting to see Tashi's picture. You are blessed. Love her all you can, you never know when they may be taken away.
