Description:
Jinx is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, so I guess that makes her a Shidoodle!! Her momma is Mai Ling, a pure bred Shih Tzu and her daddy is a black Poodle. Mai Ling and her 5 puppies were dropped off at Seminole Animal Control by their owner who then called us and asked us to go rescue them. He said he had too many dogs and couldn't keep them. MaryBeth was happy to have us take them as she was concerned about them living in the unheated shelter. It has been my pleasure to foster this little family, and what a joy they have been!
Jinx is all black with a small white spot on chest and a touch of white on her chin. Her back toes also a little bit of white on them. She is the second largest in the litter, the biggest girl. We call her Jinx, short for high jinx ~ if someone is missing, it's Jinx. She is the most adventurous of the group and the bravest. She is always the first to try something new, to explore the far reaches of the yard.
I've included a picture of their mom, Mai Ling, plus Ralph, my Basset/lab with whom they love to play!

Are you unfamiliar with the Shih Tzu breed? Pronounced SHEET-sue, they are known as alert, spunky, happy and hardy. They are bred with an underbite which gives them a constant "smile." Traditionally, their coat is kept long, with ears blending into the body, distinct mustache, and a top knot secured with a bow. However, in our Florida climate, many are clipped short to relieve them of the heat. An alert watch dog, Shih Tzus like to bark but are usually quiet in the house. Originally from China, they were a favorite of the Imperial Chinese court and so revered that for many years after the Chinese began trading with the West, they refused to sell, or even give away, any of the little dogs. It was not until 1930 that the first pair was imported to England. The life expectancy of Shih Tzus in 16 years.
