Here is Russell Stover.  He is a blue Shih Tzu (even though he looks brown).  His mother is blue and his father is chocolate.  He will be 2 years old in October.  He weighs 12 pounds which is average for a Shih Tzu.  He has champion blood lines. 

When he was a tiny puppy, he was dark brown.  He hated his bath.  My husband had to hold him in the tub while I scrubbed.  We both were soaking wet when finished.  It is hard to believe that such a tiny brown puppy could make such a mess.  Now that he is older, it is easier to give him a bath and it doesn’t take two people.
