The Lion Dog

Mateo the Shih Tzu

Knowingly originated in China, the name Shih Tzu comes from the Chinese word which means ‘lion dog‘. The Shih Tzu is a small dog with a short muzzle and large dark eyes with a soft and long double coat. Its drop ears are covered with long fur, and the heavily furred tail is carried curled over the back.

Dreamweaver Kennel’s first Shih Tzu was named Mateo, a black and white Shih Tzu bought from a friend. We got the puppy when he was still 2 months old. The puppy was so active, lively and he really loves to play especially with Macmac (Chowspitz). He always barks, especially when his ‘best friend’ passes by our gate. It was a cat, he barks as loud as he can and jump as high as he can while the cat seems annoying Mateo boy.

Now, Mateo is 1 year and 5 months old and ready for stud. Still he is looking for her first mate.
