Texas Breeder Imperial Shih Tzu
Designer Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier

     Rare Colors, True Chocolate and True Blue

                                                    "It's All In The Pigment"

The Liver and Blue colors are rare colors since they come from recessive color genes.The color of the hair is not crucial to classifying a dog as Blue or Liver color.

More significant would be the color of the “points” (eyes, nose, lips, paw pads) and skin. If these features are Liver rather than Black (except for the skin) then the dog is Liver.

If these features are Blue, then the dog is Blue, regardless of what the hair color may appear. 

Conversely, if these features are Black (except for the skin), then the dog is not Blue or Liver even if the hair appears to be Blue or Liver.

Shih tzu are classified by thier nose colors it is the nose that determines color.

Black NOSE-Red,gold,silver,black,black and white.brindle

Blue NOSE-At birth they may look black and may take up to 8 months to change to blue,the nose will have a purple and blue shine.Blues come in many colors True blues,platinums,lavenders,Rose,silver,charcoal and brindles.

Liver Nose
the color of the nose pigment is liver,from dark chocolates to light creams.

Coat colors in a shih tzu can change from birth they usally lighten ,but some darken.

Nu Vet Plus

     

I recently discovered this new supplement and have put all of my dogs on it. It has all natural human grade ingredients.  I have dedicated an entire page to it here on my site.  Nu Vet Plus is a great find for me.  I had previously given my dogs Pet Tabs, as my veterinarian had recommended.  However, I discovered they contained lead.  That was a shocker.  So I started researching new supplements to give my bitches the nutrients they need to come thru whelping and the puppy nursing process with flying colors. Then it continues to protect my pups tiny undeveloped immune system.   I am happy to say this is the greatest find.  My bitches are extremely happy and healthy and have the desease protection they and their pups need.  It also does wonders for controling skin allergies and scratching that is prevelent in small dogs. I have noticed a remarkable improvement in the health of my dams and their pups. Visit my page on Vitamins and  Supplements and give it a try!  You wont be disappointed.  It is also 100% guaranteed or your money  back.  No questions asked.

Sincerely

Yvonne
