Come and say Hi to Milo
Shih Tzu, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Milo is...
He sings to his squeaky toys.
The biggest challenge with Milo is...
Grooming him. He will not sit still.
The most surprising thing about owning a Shih Tzu is...
How loyal, loving and companionable he is.
What I wish I’d known about Shih Tzus is...
Problems with their eyes and their tummies.
Did you know?
An original Chinese breed standard for the Shih Tzu must be the most romantic ever written. It says (among other things) that they should have the head of a lion, the face of an owl, the eyes of a dragon, the tongue of a peony petal, teeth like grains of rice, ears like palm leaves, the back of a tiger, the tail of a phoenix, and the movement of a goldfish.
