Pepper is male Shih Tzu who is almost 2 years old. He is black and white but looks grey and white because I keep him trimmed. Pepper is the most loyal and loving dog and has an awesome personality. He is a great watch dog and is not a barker. He only barks to let his family know that there are humans or other dogs walking by our home. He has large bulging eyes that melt my heart everytime he looks at me. His tail curls up over his back his fur is very soft and grows fast. Shih Tzu's can be show dogs if you take the time to grow thier hair long with lots of grooming and brushing. I keep my dog neatly groomed and he needs to be groomed every 6 to 8 weeks. He does not like to play rough like his Lhatese buddy Frosty does. He would rather snuggle and get lots of love rather than play rough. He loves to play ball and gets along well with other dogs but with humans he needs to get to know them before he will approach them. He is a wonderful family dog with a sweet temperment. He is great with my childern and does well with other other dogs but needs to get to know people before he will approach them. He loves to go for rides in the car and also loves to play ball. He is a wonderful family dog and I am grateful to have him!
