Harvey @ 2 years of age

On 23rd October 2004, Harvey flew from Sydney on the East coast of Australia to his new home in Bunbury, on the West Coast.

Harvey @ 4 weeks of age Harvey was located after a year of searching and studying lines of Australian Shih Tzu's and was chosen on pedigree first, and his placement confirmed after I saw his adorable pictures!

Harvey @ 9 weeks of age He is a mixture of ¾ old Australian/English import lines and ¼ old American breeding. His lineage includes the lovely English Champion Santosha Sunking [Santosha Shih Tzu Homepage] five times in the first six generations, Australia's very successful Duxford [Duxford Shih Tzu Homepage] lines, and the influential American Dragonfires, Louwan and Wingate's lines, amongst others.

Harvey boasts the most gorgeous big head, arrogant expression, lovely dark pigment, a beautiful front, perfect rear, great turn of stifle and the most wonderfully balanced and correct movement.

This little darling is full of charm and just oozes personality plus! Slow to mature, we feel his best is yet to come!

In his spare time, Harvey enjoys Agility in the form of novice jumping, socialising and charming everyone he meets. He also trains in obedience and qualified for his CCD title in April 2008. We will now begin working towards CD.

A big THANK YOU to Michele Thomas of Meinlieb Shih Tzu for entrusting this very special boy to me.

Four lovely gold & white puppies sired by Harvey have arrived in NSW on 4 March 2008 - 2 boys and 2 girls! Enquiries welcomed from Shih Tzu lovers who are prepared to devote time and care to their dog's maintenance and well-being. Show or pet - no time wasters please.
Visit Meinlieb Shih Tzu for more information.

Harvey has been examined by a canine opthalmologist and certified clear of hereditary eye defects. He has also been hip scored due to my concern for the high incidence of Hip Dysplasia in Shih Tzu. His score is well below half the currently published Australian breed average of 18.33
