Buzz is a Shih Tzu Mix!
Studies have shown that mixed breed dogs tend to be average in size, with the typical mixed-breed dog weighing around 40-60 pounds at full growth. A lot depends on the size and structure of the ancestors of your particular dog. Mixes of small dogs should result in smaller dogs, and mixes of larger dogs should result in larger offspring. It should be remembered that all "full-bred" dogs were once mixes of other breeds. The Shih Tzu is a small dog that generally weighs less than 15 pounds and stands under 10 inches tall, so Edward Lewis should be a very small dog.
"Mother Nature" tends to breed for sturdiness, intelligence, playfulness, ability to co-exist with other pets and people and longevity, so we can expect this puppy to be healthy and sturdy. The long-haired coat indicates that this puppy will probably need weekly grooming. The Shih Tzu was a favorite house pet during the Ming Dynasty. Their upbeat attitude and love of playing has kept them popular today.
We are pleased to welcome Buzz to our practice!
