The best information indicates that the Shih Tzu originated in Tibet, where it was kept in temples as a scared dog. It is known that they were occasionally given to the emperors of China during the 17th century as a tribute of great honor. There are paintings dating back as early as the 16th century showing dogs resembling a small lion. If translated the Shih Tzu's name means lion. In the early 1930's a Shih Tzu puppy was presented to Queen Elizabeth and this really started the breeds start in England.
