    My new boy ... Alfie.

    He is a four year old ex-breeding Shi Tzu

    There has been a bit of a kerfuffle about the wall in my garden ... to cut a long story short, the lady who home checked suggested changes, came back out this morning, (bless her) got back in touch with the rescue and the foster home and they, Jill and her hubby, are bringing him here this morning, bless them too because it is way off normal for them to do so.

    All being well I will be back to this thread with more about him and, of course, photos.

    Awwwww - he's a real cutie! Welcome to the world of Shih Tzu's, Chris. Wishing you many happy and healthy years together. Hoping that he's a sweet little love-bug like my Sparky is.

    Actually he has an undershot jaw so is not handsome as he could be, imo they shouldn't have bred from him.

    Oh Chris, how cute he is! It's probably a good idea to have gotten one who is a small breed.

    Now Alfie, go and make friends with Ebby.

    Welcome, Alfie!!!

    That underbite is very typical of Shih Tzu's, but I think it makes them even cuter - if that's at all possible. Sparky has it, and I'm always telling him to put his teeth back in his mouth.

    Welcome Alfie! He is just so cute! The three shih tzus (or crosses)at my house all have underbites too. They are such loving little guys and a pleasure to be owned by! Have fun Chris

    Hello Alfie.

    I think you are a cutie, with a very sweet looking face. I loved the pictures too. Looks
    like those time lapse pics. Going from opposite ends & each checking out the other.
    You have a new friend to meet now Ebby.Thanks for sharing pictures of the new addition.

    I'm a little bit partial to Shih-Tzu's, but I think he is adorable!
    Welcome to your new PT home, Alfie. Congrats on the new addition!

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    Thanks guys.

    I Alfie for a walk and he was lovely on the lead ... some heartbreaking moments though, walking in Bobby's footsteps.

    I had to put the pet gate at the bedroom door once again, and lock the cat flap too because Alfie could get through it. I am feeling guilty about Ebby though, just praying she will accept his being here sooner rather than later.
