Photo: Ginger of Stain Glass Shih TzuHow did our different dog breeds come into existence? People created each breed by choosing dogs with the desired qualities and breeding them to each other. People designed some dogs to hunt, others to herd, some to guard and some for companions. Our Shih Tzu is in the companion group of dog breeds.
According to the American Kennel Club a breed is defined as: "A relatively homogeneous group of animals within a species developed and maintained by man."
