Rita
Meet Rita, a truly extraordinary blue-eyed lavender chocolate sable Shih Tzu with a rich mocha coat accented by smoky taupe and soft silver undertones. Her striking crystal blue-gray eyes, unique bluish-lavender nose, and luxurious teddy bear coat create a breathtaking appearance that is both rare and unforgettable.
Rita has an irresistibly sweet expression, a beautifully short baby-doll face, and a compact, sturdy build that perfectly reflects the exceptional quality of her pedigree. Her gentle and affectionate personality makes her as charming on the inside as she is on the outside. Raised in a loving home with endless love and attention, Rita is well-socialized and accustomed to daily handling from the very beginning. She comes from exceptional imported bloodlines from Ukraine with over 30 champions in her pedigree, representing generations of excellence in beauty, structure, and temperament.
Rita is more than just a puppy—she is a tiny living jewel. Her rare coloring, captivating blue-gray eyes, and loving disposition make her a truly one-of-a-kind companion and a treasured addition to any loving family. A rare and elegant little princess with the beauty of a crown jewel and the heart to match.
***Dogs may change color naturally as they mature due to many factors such as genetics, hair type, losing puppy fur and changing to the adult coat, pigmentation, hormonal changes, seasonal changes, shaving, etc. Color changes are expected and can occur quickly and at any time. We cannot guarantee a dog's permanent coat color for these reasons.
