Couldn't resist adding the "posse" into the forum. Three Shih Tzu's which two are are mine, the mother to the right of the photo has been a guest in my home for the past two years while the owner is away in another city for school. Never was a small dog person until I received Geneva (white) as a gift, family Boxer moved with my daughter and grandsons. Sophia (black and white-blue eyes)came a year later and only surviver of a failed litter. These dogs are a sturdy, robust breed, keen to intrusion, and property perimeters. Grained based dog foods are really not fit for their diet in case anyone thinks of getting a Tzu. They are a high maintanence dog, but worth their weight in gold for their loyalty, and constant need of contact with their owner. They are known in the neighborhood as the "Posse". - zephyr
