About Bentley

Bentley is a very cute dog, he loves to be carried and if he could he would fall sleep in your arms. He does not like his dog-neighbor. Bentley won second place in a Halloween Competition wearing a viking costume. He works out every day by walking over 20 blocks. He loves kisses and burgers!

Character and Skills

"Lively, very active and independent, this calm, gentle, merry dog needs lots of love and attention. He is the most outgoing of the Asian breeds. He is indifferent toward strangers and barks to announce their presence." (The Royal Canin Dog Encyclopedia)

Shih Tzu's Background

"The Shih Tzu is most certainly the product of crossing the Lhasa Apso from Tibet with the Pekingese from China. In 1643, the Dalai Lama presented the Manchurian dynasty with a gift of small "lion dogs" (shih tzu). The breed was long appreciated by the royal court and China's last empress kept them in her palace until 1908. In 1923, a kennel club was founded in Beijing. In 1930, Lady Browning brought the first specimens to England. The British Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1946. In France that same year, the Countess of Anjou founded a kennel and registered the first litters with the Central Canine Society in 1953. The FCI recognized the breed in 1954. The Shih Tzu is less common than the Pekingese and the Lhasa Apso." (the Royal Canin Dog Encyclopedia).
