Chinese Imperial Shih Tzu

Chinese Imperial
Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu breeders have long been aware of the Imperials. They noticed puppies in
the litters, or an entire litter, that were not quite the same as the others. Far from
being 'runts', these little babies had short bodies, larger eyes, very tiny high domed
heads, longer legs. When I began breeding almost 20 years ago, the ones under 6
pounds were called Imperials, and the ones 6 to 10 pounds were called tinys.
Breeders who particularly liked these babies began keeping the tiny ones under nine
pounds from many different litters, and then breeding them to other tiny ones that
were not related, but kept from another litter. This has greatly strengthened the gene
pool for the Imperials, or Imps as they have lovingly come to be called. After much
hard work, all of our Imperials here at the Farm weighing under 8.5 pounds have now
been weight, height and confirmation certified to be Chinese Imperials. All of this
information was sent to the Certified Pet Registry and Tammy, one of the owners of
this great registry certified all of our Chinese Imperials as true to form and
confirmation. She has also stated I am the first IMP breeder in the nation to
accomplish this arduous task. We are very proud of our IMPS that are from our
exclusive Tiny Dancer Bloodlines. OUR IMPS ARE ROYALTY INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We wanted to give you an update on
that sweet bundle of joy we got from
you almost 2 years ago, named
Phucee, now named Zoe. She is such
a wonderful dog and is a perfect
addition to our lives. She took right
to us and our home. She has gotten
quite spoiled over the past two
years. Her best friend is my mother's
cat. ....You had such an excellent
facility and I recommend you
continuously!! Thank your for all your
efforts. Sincerely, The Reynolds.
