Near a window is an ideal spot for your grooming table. Use a pegboard on the wall nearest your Shih Tzu grooming table. The pegboard should hold almost all your grooming tools. Grooming tools that are within easy reach is most efficient. Put up a shelf to store spray cans and any items you can’t hang from a pegboard. Your Shih Tzu grooming table should be the center of the décor. A grooming table with a swinging tray underneath for additional storage of frequently-used tools and products is a most desirable feature.

The cross in Tibet that was taken out of that country through India has been called the Apso, while the Chinese cross has more of the Pekingese. It is the opinion of some that all these breeds were interbred to create the first Shih Tzu in China.
The translator of the booklet was Mr. C.S.K. Chou, but there is no identification of the actual writer was. In reference to the Lhassa Lion Dogs the passage says: “There is also every evidence to show that these dogs have been bred down from a larger-sized breed and this theory is supported by the great variety of size and weight which is found in this class of dogs.”
These differences of opinion cannot be dismissed as being “the smaller sizes are only rejects or Shih Tzu puppies born with excessive health problems.” This is just not true at all to account for the smaller size Shih Tzu puppies that have always been in existence. The statements of breeders who have these small sizes obtained them through “faulty and irresponsible breeding, or instances of in-breeding and line-breeding of relatives is also “false.” The truth to any breeding can be traced on the pedigrees to prove the smaller Shih Tzu was not the result of in-breeding and line-breeding with close relatives. These smaller size Shih Tzu have been in existence since the Chinese Imperial Palace days. There are several documented Shih Tzu history facts to prove that this is the most probable reason for the smaller Shih Tzu, so many people commonly “nickname” the Imperial Shih Tzu or the Teacup Shih Tzu. The size of a Shih Tzu does not dictate the health of that Shih Tzu. Health problems exist in all sizes of the Shih Tzu, and not the direct result of producing a smaller size Shih Tzu.
Never blow into a gurgling Shih Tzu puppy’s mouth! Never blow into a Shih Tzu puppy’s mouth and nose before it has first been shaken-down. If you fail to shake a Shih Tzu puppy down before resuscitation is attempted on a visibly stillborn Shih Tzu puppy, you will force the amniotic fluid present into the Shih Tzu puppy’s lungs. The Shih Tzu puppy will die of asphyxiation, drowning in its own life fluid.
