What a sweetheart.
I think you "need" to get him.
I have a Yorkie and a Shih Tzu and I can't think of anything better than a mix like that.
My Shih Tzu hardly ever barks, unlike Rudy.
Rudy has a stronger personality but Lucky, my Shih Tzu, is much more a love bug than Rudy. So, put the two together and I think you'd have a really great dog all rolled up into one!!
