Yay for the Shih Tzu and rooting for the Lhasa. Have one of each, curled up and fast asleep (one is snoring) next to me. They're my 'lil best in shows
You're so right, magemay! We each have a Best In Show already!
Back in the 80's, the Yorkie Best of Breed winner, Ch. Shadow Mountain Sparrow Hawk, was the sire of my female's litter and we were watching him show in group on TV while she was carrying his pups. Talk about exciting!
Oh Wow, that must have been a pinch me, I can't believe it moment! How exciting!
They are my passion and every time I watch the shows or even see other dogs, I want more.
Our little shih tzu passed away 3 years ago at the age of 19. She was adopted at the age of 3. My husband took her passing so hard that he said absolutely no more.
A year after she passed and late one morning, I took some donations to our local shelter, walked in and our eyes met and knew I was in trouble. Took some pictures of a shaven-to-the-skin, black and white, rib showing little shih tzu boy and cried all the way home.
My husband remained steadfast until about 5pm and surprised me when he said "Well, let's go take a look."
We flew down there, I drove.... fast. Couldn't wait to get there, I was so afraid he may not be there when we arrived.
They brought him out to us, looked very serious and said, "We have something to tell you that you should know." My heart dropped. The woman said "He doesn't speak English." Oh my gosh did we laugh. He knew only Spanish!
He was 3 at the time, the same age as our Lhasa, who is now his best bud. And he speaks fluent English, now.....lol and his hair grew in beautifully, so did his little pudgy tummy!
We're so happy he picked us.
