Tigerlily, my Prapso

by Emily
(Cheshire, uk )


I got my little one 9 years ago after going to visit a litter of regular Shih Tzus. My girl was the first born in the litter and slightly larger than her siblings. She also had a very calm temperament whereas the other were all very bouncy and excitable. She was obviously different from the others but we thought perhaps her long coat just hadn’t grown in yet or there was some how another father. We did some research and discovered the Prapso and immediately realised this is what she was. Several years ago there really wasn’t much about them but now they seem to be turning up in litters everywhere which is wonderful because they’re such gorgeous little companions. I hope to meet another Prapso in real life on day and find another in the future.
