Dog Charm

Dog Charm

The Bichon Shih Tzu mix is one of the most popular mixed breeds available today. Its small size makes it ideal for city dwellers, and its tendency not to shed means it is the perfect pet for allergy and asthma sufferers.

Some toy dogs are nervous and high strung, but the Bichon Shih Tzu has a fun, carefree personality. The Bichon Shih Tzu wants to spend its every waking moment with its owner. This is not a breed that should be left at home all day while you're at work. Take your Bichon Shih Tzu with you whenever possible. The dog will charm everyone it meets, and both you and the dog will enjoy spending time together.

The breed is a cross between the Bichon Frise, a French-bred lap dog, and the Shih Tzu, a Chinese-bred lap dog. Looking at Bichon Shih Tzu pictures reveals that the breed gets it flat face from the Shih Tzu and its fluffy coat from the Bichon Frise.

If you enjoy taking pictures of your dog, the Bichon Shih Tzu is an excellent subject for photography, and your photo album will soon be full of Bichon Shih Tzu pictures. Most Bichon Shih Tzus have light-colored coats, so the best background for photographing the breed is a dark backdrop, free of any distracting clutter. Using a dark, neutral background will ensure that your pet is in the spotlight.

These dogs are far too active to sit for a photograph, so have your camera ready during a vigorous play session with your Bichon Shih Tzu. When your dog starts to tire, pick up the camera and start taking photos, shooting no higher than your dog's eye level. Take a variety of shots, capturing your dog playing, resting, and looking directly into the camera.

Thanks to digital photography, bad shots don't cost you a thing, so don't be afraid to take lots of pictures of your dog to ensure that you will get at least one or two great portraits from each session.

Take your dog to your veterinarian for a complete examination as soon as you get your dog. The vet will diagnose any health conditions, give your dog all the required vaccinations, and set your dog up on a schedule of regular health maintenance so your dog can be the perfect Bichon Shih Tzu picture of health.

Because the dog does not shed, it requires regular, specialized grooming to keep its coat from getting too long and overwhelming the dog. A short, perky cut will give your dog the fluffy look typical of the breed and let his personality come shining through. Most Bichon Shih Tzus love the grooming process and will gladly prance around the house to show off a new clip.

The Bichon Shih Tzu has the best of both breeds. Its tear ducts and longer nose eliminate the watery eyes and breathing problems that some Shih Tzus have, and the cross-bred has fewer of the skin problems that seem to plague the purebred Bichon Frise.k

A professional breeder of champion toy dogs, Rebecca Simpson is in great demand as a lecturer about the dangers of puppy mills. It's fun to compare pictures of your Bichon Shih Tzu with Bichon pictures and Shih Tzu pictures to figure out which characteristics descended from which breed. Gathering Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu information from a variety of sources is a good way to keep up with changes in breeding and care. Consult with your veterinarian about the best care for your Bichon Shih Tzu mix.

If a dog ate a crystal pendant, then what?

I lost a sentimental pendant in my bedroom-while quickly changing for work...I found a charm and later the kitty brought the chain ; but I cannot find that pendant! I am starting to think my dog ate it!? She would almost eat anything...if so, would I see her symptoms? I am serious...The only other thing is if the kitties dragged into another room like the one did with the chain...I wished they tell me! Which one would likely do something with the Crystal Heart pendant? Where????

If a dog ate something abnormal to his/her body, you would see symtoms, if it was lodged in its intestines. Some signs of Obstructions are :

-Throwing up bile, not being able to hold food down
-Lethargicness
-Not being able to Poop
-Not eating
-Not playing

Trust me, if you see any of these things, schedule an appointment with a vet!! If your dog can't swallow water, take her to the emergency!

BUT, this may not be the case... Maybe you misplaced it... Maybe your dog did digest.. Does he hide things in a pile, under tables, etc? Check.. Does he bury his bones and other belongings?

PS- Make absolute sure, if you cant find it, that your dog DOES have an obstruction. Vets were trying to talk me into paying 3000$ surgery on something they thought was certain to have obstruction, but i took her home anc cured her myself.

Good Luck either way....
