Prapso Puppy Named Buchog

by Nimfa
(Philippines)

I have two purebred Shih Tzu, a male & female...they were couples...when they had their 1st litter, there were three boys and a girl. Unfortunately, the female puppy died two days after birth. Of the three remaining males, two of them looked like normal Shih Tzu dogs, but the youngest was different. He seemed to be a prapso Shih Tzu.

I kept the youngest and sold the other 2. After a year I had the female Shih Tzu mated by the Prapso, but there was only one puppy, a female. She too looked Prapso.

My niece got the baby. What I observed with them were that the prapso puppies were more energetic and hyper.

No need to bring them to the pet shop for grooming even though they have thick hair. The coat does not have knots, mats or tangles.

No need to blow dry after the shower, less maintenance compare to standard Shih Tzu

I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in biology, Early Childhood Education, and Nursing, and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling.

I'm a lifelong learner, a dog lover, and passionate about the welfare of animals. Though Shih Tzu is my favorite breed, I've also lived with Poodles, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Beagles, English Bulldogs, Carin Terriers, and a Cocker Spaniel. Little critters that shared my space included guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, tropical fish, and birds. (Oh, and one crayfish and hermit crab that my daughter brought home from school)

When not writing, reading, and researching dog-related topics, I love spending time with my 6 Shih Tzu dogs, husband, and family, as well as knitting and crocheting. She is also the voice behind Small Dog Place and Smart-Knit-Crocheting. Please visit my other two sites or send me a note.
