And what about size?
Ok lets clear this up, the "Shih Tzu Breed Standard" says that they are to be no less than 9 pounds and no more than 16 pounds. The "Breed Standard" is a detailed description of the traits that are correct for a specific breed. Some times folks are getting the "Breed Standard" confused with a Standard size. That reference is used in some breeds i.e. Poodles. They have a large size of that breed in their Breed Standard that is call a Standard Poodle etc.
Shih Tzu only have 1 size classification. They are Shih Tzu. They do not come in toy, imperial, or standard sizes according to their Breed Standard. They are classified as a Toy breed, but that is not used as a description for size but as a description for the Group they are shown in. While occasionally you can produce a dog that is smaller, even when breeding correctly by the breed standard guidelines, it just means that genetically that has occurred. The very same way that you can have several generations of 6 foot tall folks in your family and then have some one that is 5 feet tall. Respectable breeders follow the Breed Standard that is provided by the Parent breed Club as a proper guideline to ensure that the breed maintains its qualities. Every AKC registered breed has a specific Breed Standard and a Parent Club for their individual breed. Our Parent Club is the American Shih Tzu Club ) shihtzu.org
