Hi, Janice Here from Miracle Shih Tzu

Thank you, Erika, for posting your beautiful Shih Tzu for all of us to see.

You have done a fantastic job with her grooming. Keeping a Shih Tzu in a coat like this requires a lot of work, especially when you have a dog that has a thick coat. Ask me how I know?

Well Tulip's sister, Cherry lives with me. We decided to hold on to Cherry for breeding purposes, and both of the girls were similar in color and coat texture.

For anyone who wants to keep their Shih Tzu's coat in such great shape, you need to know that you will need to devote plenty of time to brush, comb and bathe their dog. Daily brushing is best, but at least every other day is essential to prevent tangles and mats from forming.

Thanks again Erika, for posting your dog's photo. And, thanks for being such a great Tzu parent.

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.
