Pinky Byrd (Houston, TX)

Pinky Byrd

Now with Pinky Byrd we really did start out with a pink nose but that too has changed. The nose has darkened considerably to at least a light brown. Pinky also has the tricolor coloring on his color markings which gives him that certain pizzazz. Life is getting boring in the little birthing box and we are wondering about getting out and about. I do find these little sons of the shih tzu father precocious. When they were 1st born I thought that they looked like little bull dog pups with such a flat nose. But father is a shih tzu with 1 of those special shih tzu smunchy faces...i.e. hardly any nose at all. Personality is expected to be quite active and interactive and maybe even a bit scrappy like dad. Pinky is a bit smaller than his 2 sibs so according to the chart he will be pushing it to make it to six pounds. Now we are talking really small. I think a more versatile weight is around 8-10 pounds. especially if 1 wants to train for obedience and agility. This breed excels at this and it is a fun sport....
