The Miracle Shih Tzu Difference: 

What makes this site unique is the combination of several factors:

• Research-based content
• Regular updates with the latest findings
• Practical, reliable, and tested solutions
• Clear, actionable advice
• Real-world experience

With all that said, let me assure you that this is not a site where only facts and figures live, but where you can count on me to provide compassionate advice for your concerns. I do this because I am genuinely a fan of this breed, and my forty years of living with them have provided me with plenty of experience.

When I say I have forty years of extensive experience, I’m not talking about having one or two dogs, but often having a small “herd” of them running around my house. From the cradle to the grave, I’ve likely experienced many problems you might also encounter.

Now, What’s On Your Mind?

As a lifelong Shih Tzu enthusiast and advocate, I understand the joys and challenges of living with these wonderful dogs. (Let's face it, no dog is perfect, right?) I aim to share knowledge that helps you build a stronger bond with your Shih Tzu while providing the best possible care.

Till next time,

Janice

Wonder How I Built This Website?

I'm not a coding expert or even a graphic designer.  I was able to make this site and update it regularly without any help from expensive web developers.  Want to Know How?  You could do it too! In my SBI review page, I provide all the information you need to help you make a decision about starting an online business. I'd also love to share a video of my online journey.
