** REQUIRES FENCED YARD -- NO KIDS  **

** SHIH TZU EXPERIENCE A PLUS **

My name is PIKE and I'm a Handsome Shih Tzu, 5 years old, 12 lbs.

I'm a BIG CUDDLY FURRY BEAR-LIKE SHIH TZU!  LOVE BELLY RUBS!

However, I'm an ALPHA Male and can be somewhat of a Bully.   I will growl and try to BITE you if you do something I don't like but I'm working on being kinder.

I PLAY ROUGH AND I'M IN CHARGE!  I'M AN ALPHA DOG!  ***** NO KIDS IN HOME ***

Sometimes I want to PLAY BITE my mom! AND she is teaching me to BITE SOFTER.

I LOVE to play with my toys.  I will WALK ON LEASH .

I LOVE to run around the yard and not come inside UNTIL I'M READY!!  it's FUN!
