James Mumsford, an American teacher and composer, perhaps described the Shih Tzu best:
“Nobody knows how the ancient eunuchs managed to mix together: a dash of a lion, several teaspoons of rabbit, a couple of ounces of domestic cat, one part court jester, a dash of a ballerina, a pinch of old man, a bit of Beggar, a tablespoon of monkey, one part baby seal, a dash of a teddy bear, and, for the rest, dogs of Tibetan and Chinese origin.”
With their flowing hair sweeping the ground and their topknot elegantly tied, the Shih Tzu does appear snobbish, suited only for lying about a palace on silk pillows.
