Susie (AKA Nugget)

Nugget is the smartest dog I have ever had. She just turned 3 in June. We had been breeding shih-tzu for 16 years when she was born. We found out that she was not a full shih-tzu soon after she was born. Our neighbor had a boston terrier and she seemed to have some of his traits so it was a no brainer as to who the father was. She was the only surviving puppy in her litter and we quickly fell in love. She loves to sleep in bed whenever possible. I got her a couple of dresses about a year ago and she just fell in love with cloths. She now has 15 dresses, 5 t-shirts, 2 jackets, and a coat. If I forget to dress her before I finish getting ready for our morning walk she'll start barking and running in circles. Most of my neighbors can't believe how cute and friendly she is. She just lives for compliments. I have had 12 dogs in my life and she is easily my favorite. I wouldn't trade her for the world. I highly recommend a boshih to any one who wants a smart, opinionated, loyal, and loving companion.
