The Shih Tzu is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Those of us who have lived with them are thinking right now: "And I know many reasons why."
Before they were so popular in America, they were beloved and often reverend pets in East Asia, especially China and within the Imperial Palace. Shih Tzu have a fascinating history second to NONE.
Here are some more things you probably know or maybe not......
The Shih Tzu breed are more than 1,000 years old. There are even records that show short, square, dogs existed in China as early as 1,000 B.C. These little "under the table" dogs are the ancestors of all Shih Tzu we know and love today.
Most of us associate the Shih Tzu as coming from China originally. Fact is they probably came from Tibet, which is a neighbor to China. Tibet sent these dogs (which were bigger in size) to the Chinese royalty as royal gifts. The Chinese then bred these dog gifts with Pekingese, and perhaps other small dogs, reduced their size in some situations and on down through history comes to us the Shih Tzu as we know today.
Lions were favored greatly by the Chinese. It is not surprising the Chinese nick named their Shih Tzu, "Lion dogs." In fact, the Mandarian phrase Shih Tzu translates to little lion, and Shih Tzu do resemble little lions. However, the people in Tibet most likely named them lion dogs because of the association to the Buddhist God of Learning. There is a legend attached to this name lion dog as well. The Buddhist God of Learning, according to the legend, traveled with a small lion dog that could transform into a full-sized lion. That being said, if you own several Shih Tzu, have you ever felt as though you live in one big lion's den?
Anyone familiar with Shih Tzu probably also knows they are nick-named "Chrysanthemum-Faced Dogs." This is because the hair on their faces grows in every direction.
With the death of Empress Dowager the breed almost disappeared. There was a Communist Revolution in which the Imperial Palace was burn to the ground and the Empress gave up by committing suicide. It was also said her Eunuchs fed many of her beloved Shih Tzu "glass," most likely so they would not survive in the hands of anyone else.
However, some Shih Tzu escaped. How this happened nobody really knows, but it is written by many Shih Tzu historians there were specimens from Dowager's breeding program that escaped, maybe they had already left as the Empress gave Shih Tzu to visiting foreign guests as gifts. Yet....when she died her world-renown breeding program of Shih Tzu, Pekingese and other small dogs as well fell apart. It was as if the Shih Tzu breed would just die out and never be again. It is truly a miracle of God some of these guys did survive.
Due to all the horrible events that happened to the Shih Tzu, every Shih Tzu today can trace their roots back to one of 14 surviving dogs. These dogs were 7 males and 7 females. These were used to rebuild the Shih Tzu breed.
High ranking military people brought Shih Tzu to the United States after which they were first imported to England from China. The English sent Shih Tzu to many countries in Europe. American soldiers stationed in European countries took Shih Tzu back to the United States in the 1940's and 1950s.
Famous Celebrity and Royal people who have owned Shih Tzu are:
- Queen Elizabeth II
- Bill Gates
- Rebecca Mader
- Susie Essman
- Geri Halliwell
- Nicole Ritchie
There are various theories of the exact origins of today's Shih Tzu. One of those theories is that the ShihTzu was a cross between the Pekingese and Lhasa Apso. The Lhasa Apso lived in Tibet and were given by the Dalai Lama to Chinese emperors. Some of these dogs bred down to Shih Tzu were so small that could be carried in the sleeves on their owners.
Shih Tzu are glamorous, sweet faced, and also very sporty. Beneath all the beautiful hair is a muscular, agile body that performs well in agility. Shih Tzu are well known for winning agility competitions.
