Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Tibetan Spaniel (medium coat). Chip is a two‑year‑old little mystery mix — his mom is a Shih Tzu, and his dad clearly had some opinions because Chip looks like he may have borrowed a few features from a Tibetan Spaniel. Whatever the combo is, it worked. He’s adorable. Chip is a gentle soul who doesn’t rush into new friendships. He likes to take his time, watch the world, and decide when he’s ready. Give him a couple of days and a little patience, and you’ll see the sweetest, softest boy come out of his shell. Once he trusts you, he’s all heart. He gets along well with other dogs and seems to find comfort in their company. A calm, understanding home would be perfect for him — someone who isn’t in a hurry and appreciates the quiet joy of earning a shy dog’s trust. Chip doesn’t need much. Just kindness, time, and a family who will let him bloom at his own pace. And when he does, he’s absolutely worth the wait For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp

Overview:
The Shih Tzu, affectionately known as the "lion dog," boasts an ancient and regal lineage, originating from the Tibetan plateau and further refined in imperial China. These charming canines are easily recognized by their striking appearance: a small, sturdy build, a distinctive undershot jaw, and a long, flowing double coat that often requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Temperamentally, Shih Tzus are renowned for being affectionate, outgoing, and playful companions, making them wonderfully suitable for a variety of households. Their adaptable and generally good-natured disposition means they often thrive in families with children and are particularly well-suited for apartment living due to their modest exercise requirements. While generally robust, potential owners should be aware of common breed-specific health concerns, including respiratory issues (due to their brachycephalic, or "smushed" face), eye conditions, and luxating patella. Despite these considerations, a Shih Tzu typically brings immense joy and companionship to their devoted owners.
