Most docile / trusting lovable dog I've ever had. A must for the lap dog lover. Mother was a pure bred shih- tzu. I tried to breed the mother for years (She wouldn't have anything to do with her breed). One day I was driving down the driveway and the bad boy of the neighborhood (Boston Bull) found what he wanted. I kept one and gave the other 2 away. I call Roxie my down syndrome dog "Never grows up and is always loving"
