Pixie - BoShih

She is the most adorable and lovable dog. It seems like she is stuck in Puppy stage. She is 12 pounds, 3 years old, and she was a rescue. I wish I had her since she was a puppy though. I really wanted to breed her, however she had to be spayed. She tends to be a little "needy" but that is what I wanted in a dog. I wanted a female that would follow me everywhere, and she does! She is the best dog that I could ever of asked for! She always looks sad, but I know that she isn't! She has the do everything for me nature of a Shih Tzu, and the chewing and energy of a Boston! Her coat does not shed if I clip it down. The undercoat is that of the Boston, and the top coat grows long and needs to be cut like the Shih Tzu, but for some reason if I trim it all down to "puppy cut" 1/8th of an inch on the trimmer it never sheds! She was very easy to train, and excelled at doggy training classes. She will do anything for a treat literally! I am lucky that she only chews her toys, although she did chew a leather belt and wallet in half once, but not shoes!
