Detailed Description:
Each Shinese litter offers a bit of variety, but they are all very similar in many ways too. If you’ve never owned a Shinese (hybrid AKC mix), you are in for a wonderful treat if you get one. They are the perfect blend of both breeds (AKC Pekingese and AKC Shih Tzu) in personality, sparkle for life, loving ways, and utter devotion to their owners. When I started breeding I thought I would never dream of breeding for a hybrid mix, but then I met one and was totally blown away! I was hooked! They are unique and fabulous in every possible way! I wish I had known this when my kids were young. They are a perfect family pet.My Shinese have one AKC registered Pekingese parent and one AKC registered ShihTzu parent. They are a hybrid mix of the two AKC recognized and registered breeds. They are also known as Shih-Nese, Peke-a-Tzus, Peketzus, and Pekachus and many other combination of names. My Shinese cannot be registered with AKC even though their parents are AKC registered because they are from two different registered breeds, but happily, my Shinese can be registered with many other registration organizations.Name of Breed:Shinese (Hybrid mix of 50% purebred Pekingese and 50% purebred Shih Tzu) First generation breeding from purebred parents. Shinese should never be bred to further dilute the mixture to unknown qualities. If both parents are AKC registered there are many registration organizations that the Shinese can be registered with.Country of Origin:Tibet – Both parent breeds of a Shinese are originally from Tibet as far back as the 1600s and were raised as royalty companions.Size: Shinese have a shoulder height of about 10 inches and weigh 9-16 lbs if average. Some may weigh less and some may weigh more. They have a large, domed skull, pronounced stop (depression where the muzzle meets the forehead), undershot bite, and short muzzle. Shinese have a tail carried over the back and should have head and tail in correct proportion to the body.Coat:The Shinese has a long double coat similar in texture to human hair. It can be a variety of colors including black, red, beige, and white. The Shih Tzu is distinguished from the Pekingese by the topknot, or ‘pienji’, on its head. Shih Tzu lose hair gradually as humans do rather than shedding in the standard sense.Character:The Shinese is an independent dog which is intelligent, dignified, lovable, affectionate, sociable, and cheerful. Easily trained, fun-loving, brave little watch dogs, alert to any unusual sound, very regal with head held high, and walks with a proud prance. Being 50% Pekingese, the Shinese can be stubborn if not given the right mixture of love, affection, encouragement, and praise along with discipline. Being 50% Shih Tzu, the Shinese can be exciteable during any fun activity.Temperament:Ideal family or individual companion, loyal, playful, friendly, affectionate, wonderful lap dogs, and bedtime cuddlers. Shinese get along well with children and other pets as long as they have been raised with them. They make dependable guard dogs and have been known to do amazing things to protect loved ones. They are small and cannot be defense dogs, but they will let everyone know if there is potential danger around.Care:Shinese with a long coat require a lot of grooming. The coat should be brushed every few days and bathed every 3 to 6 weeks. A hair bow or clip can keep the hair out of the eyes. Shinese with a shorter ‘puppy coat’ can be brushed less frequently. Special cleaning solutions can be applied to keep the hair around the eyes clean. Ear passages should be cleaned regularly, nails should be clipped monthly, and the face should be wiped after eating. Water can enter the nostrils easily and the water messes up the facial hair so many owners teach their Shinese to drink from a ‘licker’ like a parrot bottle. The Shinese has a lifespan of 15 years on the average. Keeping the dog under constant supervision and restraint when outdoors lessens accidents and can help extend life considerably. Regular Veterinarian check ups with vaccinations and parasite prevention are important for longer, healthier, happier life. Common health problems in Shinese are liver shunt (a congenital circulatory disease), renal dysplasia (symptoms include bone fractures and ‘rubber jaw’), eye injuries, ear infections due to floppy ears, and pinched nostrils. Back and joint problems can cause lameness or arthritis. Scratching in the absence of fleas may indicate an allergy or dry skin. Quality breeding from bloodlines without common congenital disorders is important when searching for the right breeder.Training:Bred to be with people in the home as a family member, these little dogs live to please and train easily with love and consistency. Shinese can have a somewhat obstinate nature as any Pekingese or Shih Tzu can have. Patience is important in housebreaking. Shinese can be trained to use potty pads in the bathroom or other out of the way room rather than going outside. Shinese should be taught to enjoy grooming from puppyhood as it will be a constant factor throughout its entire life.Activity:This small breed is perfectly happy to play and exercise in the house or apartment and does not require walking or a fenced yard to get enough activity. They love to go anywhere with their owners though, including walks and playing in the yard. Fresh air and sunshine are important, so a patio or window seat is a healthy alternative to walking and fenced yards. Remember that small dogs are always a favored meal by large flying and ground predators. People steal small dogs from yards and cars for many reasons. It is very important that they are protected at all times from every danger. With their thick hair and short muzzles the Shinese find it difficult to regulate their body temperatures and can become overheated quickly in relatively cool temperatures. Leaving a Shinese alone in a car or yard is not an option because of possible theft and overheating issues.Rating (between 1 and 7)
