Phoebe is a Yorkie Shih Tzu Mix.

Beautiful dog. Loves my other Shih Tzus including puppies and plays with them all of the time. Barks more than the Shih Tzus and is less tolerant with larger dogs--more jealous.

It's hard to tell if that is her nature or something in her early environment, since we got her at about 9-10 months.

She is easy going with cats unless they hog our attention.

Sometimes she displays some little tendencies which I've been told are the Yorkie. For example, we have a hard time taking her camping because she barks at everyone and everything. Shih Tzus are more inclined to just go their own way and be themselves.

She is the size of an Imperial, blond, with a Yorkie face, smoother hair, and a Shih Tzu tail. We've had Phoebe for almost 10 years.
