Nikolai
Nikolai is a charming tri-colored boy with the sweetest personality and a love for snuggles which will melt your heart! As the smallest in the litter, petite pup combines the best of both his Yorkshire Terrier father and Shih Tzu mother, resulting in a companion expected to stay wonderfully small, perfect for cozy laps and carrying in your arms. His soft, flowing coat will be a joy to pamper, and his chubby little frame and playful spirit promise endless entertainment as he toddles around your home. Picture him curled up beside you during movie nights or gleefully playing with his favorite toys, always ready to be your loyal shadow. His breeder begins potty training early on pee pads, giving him a head start on becoming the well-mannered companion you've been dreaming of. If you're searching for a pint-sized best friend who thrives on affection and closeness, he is ready to find his forever family!
***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.

Shih Tzu
The dam has a coat that is white and black parti in color. When she's not taking care of her puppies she enjoys playing, running, snoozing, snuggling, socializing, and walking.
