  I had a male Shih Tzu that was the sweetest little guy in the world. When I decided to get another dog after my Shih Tzu passed away at age 15 I wanted a dog that would be different and not remind me of him. So I decided on a female and I wanted one that was not even close in color. Gracie is a dream come true, now. The first year we had some difficulties but I think it was more her terrier personality than the fact that she was a female. She is the sweetest and funniest little thing I have ever had. Would not trade her for the world.  |
