In 1969 Shih Tzus were recognized as a toy breed with the American Kennel Club. World War II veterans returning to the United States brought these vivacious little pups home with them from England. Clubs recognizing the differences between Shih Tzus and Apsos were not established until 19, but a standard defining the Shih Tzu’s unique characteristics wasn’t established until 1938. They began to appear in other countries and North America in the early 1900s. Somehow seven males and seven females were saved, and all of today’s Shih Tzus are descended from those 14 dogs. Shih Tzus became popular with commoners in China during the Ming dynasty, but they almost disappeared during the Chinese Revolution. Although we don’t know its exact ancestors, experts believe they are a cross between Tibet’s Lhasa Apso breed and a small Chinese dog like a Pekingese. The Shih Tzu breed is one of the oldest known and was favored by Chinese royals and kept at court as far back as the Tang dynasty, 618 to 907. The 1800s saw a decline in the breed’s popularity, but there were efforts to restabilize the breed after the first World War. They made their way to and became popular in the Canary Islands in the 15th and 16th centuries. France discovered the breed in the 1500s, and they were also treasured there. In the 1300s the breed became very popular with Italian nobility. They were often traded, and that’s how they made their way around the world. The Bichon Frise was created in the Mediterranean centuries ago. Their history isn’t long, but the parent breeds are well-documented.
