What is the truth about the Imperial or Tiny Teacup Shih Tzu?
Here is an exert from the Imperial Myth written by the American Shih Tzu Club. “The terms “imperial and “tiny” have been used interchangeably when describing undersized Shih Tzu.

The myth of the “imperial: or “tiny teacup” Shih Tzu is just that, – A MYTH.
