Breeder of top quality Shih Tzu Puppies

Shih Tzus come in many colors and it is so hard to tell what color is what.  I am going to be working on gathering information on different colors of puppies when they are born or when they are young, and then some of them older so everybody can have an better idea of what color is what.  If you have one that is interesting and want to add it to my page please send it to me.

In 1989, the rarely seen "blue," which contains no black pigmentation was added to the AKC standard.  At birth, the blues, except for white marking on the parti-colors, are a blue-gray, silver-gray, mouse-gray, or best described as a flat lead color.  With maturity the colors can be spectacular, clearing out to a peach, amber, silver, lavender, apricot, or any shade of gray from platinum to gunmetal.  But one thing reminds the same, they contain no black pigmentation, their paw pads, eyelids, nose will all be blue. (When adults, the nose pigment and eye color may be so dark as to appear black, until compared with a true-black pigmented nose and eye.)
