My little Louie chose us out of the litter; she came straight to me. She looked like all of the other puppies.
We noticed her hair hadn’t grown too much (her brother lived a block away, and he was very hairy lol) I did some research online just because I knew she was a Shih Tzu but didn’t look like the rest.
I love the fact we never had to get her hair cut (although we trim her up here and there, but it does grow back.... like her feet, around the butt) she has seizures though, and I’m sure that’s just her, not a Prapso problem which I’ve never heard of
