At times, they actually turned prayer wheels during daily Buddhist rituals. In the Chinese, Shih Tzu means “lion dog,” referring directly to their looks and strength of character. They also earned the moniker of “chrysanthemum-faced dog”, which refers to the way the hair grows outwards from the center of the dog’s face. Speaking of their faces, it’s part of the reason why Shih Tzu puppies for sale are so popular! ### **They’ve Been Here Time and Time Again!** Hands down, they are one of the oldest breeds in existence. It is said that they can be traced to Chinese paintings circa 500 AD. There are also documents that reflect how Shih Tzu puppies for sale were gifted from China to the Byzantine Empire. Much later, they became the official breed of the illustrious Ming dynasty, who kept them as pets for the royal family for centuries. Enjoying this read? You'll love our puppies.
