I lost a $100 deposit on a male Shih Tzu puppy when I changed my mind and decided to get Bo. The Shih Tzu puppy was ADORABLE!!! But, to be honest the adults had faces only a "mommy" could love. I wanted a Shih Tzu cause my research said that they had very sweet temperaments. I wanted a lap dog and that's what I read that they were. I have a Schnauzer who is DEFINATELY NOT a lap dog and I wanted the opposite of him, although I love him very much. I had decided I'd keep the Shih Tzu in a puppy cut so the coat would be low maintenance. I'm accustomed to having a dog that has to be groomed so that part didn't bother me. Anyway, make a long story short, 15 minutes after I put the deposit on the Shih Tzu, I was looking in the paper and low and behold there was a new add for Yorkie puppies, VERY reasonable, and only 10 minutes away from where I was. The Shih Tzu breeder wouldn't return my calls and when I finally reached him he said "no refunds" which the receipt had said. I couldn't be happier with Bo, my Yorkie!!! I'm so glad I didn't get the Shih Tzu. The puppy was a Christmas surprise for my kids and they've since said they think Shih Tzus are ugly. We adore Bo.
