This popular breed gets its name from the Mandarin phrase “Shih Tzu” meaning “Little Lion”. And what a fitting name, given their long hair and spunky personality! This lively puppy loves affection and a good cuddle, but also doesn’t mind being independent. They walk with an air of royalty, perhaps because they were the chosen breed to accompany Chinese emperors. They are fiercely loyal and happiest when by your side. These puppies are perfect for older couples and don’t mind other pets, as long as they don’t take away from their cuddle time with their owners. This breed remains small at 9 to 16 lbs and lives up to 16 years old.

An estimated 32 percent of New Jersey households include dogs, and the majority of these are found in the counties of Essex, Middlesex and Bergen. New Jersey’s favourite dog breeds are the Labrador Retriever, the Golden Retriever and the French Bulldog. Small breed favourites include the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Dachshund and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. One of New Jersey’s classiest celebs, Martha Stewart, owns two French Bulldogs named Bete Noire and Creme Brûlée, plus three Chow Chows by the names of Genghis Khan, Peluche and Empress Chin. That’s on top of all her cats, birds, horses and donkeys!
