Yu Honey of Hyning

I  thank Russell and Chila Curtis for allowing me to have Tiny. She was only small in name. She was one of the most intelligent shih tzu I've ever known.

Shown winning 2 points at her very first show. I had her teeth cleaned right after that and she came home missing 6-8 teeth. That ended her show career.

Tiny was a devoted mother  to a fault. She loved all the little ones and would "steal" any babies she could. 

She appointed herself to teach every new puppy how to go up and down the stairs.

In a word: Exquisite

Chinai's  Somebody Special X Ch. Lainee Xtra Perpetual Motion

This was a very sweet memory

I showed the sisters, Darla and Spanky as a brace at the Southern California Specialty show.

It was a huge show an entry of nearly 200 shih tzu/that day.

The show had been so quiet all day long so  you could have heard a pin drop.

Suddenly there was a huge burst of applause as soon as the girls went around the ring in smooth gliding tandem.

Old time breeders came up with tears in their eyes and everyone remarked how beautiful they were.
