breed, separate from the Shih Tzu.

A first generation Chinese Imperial dog has been certified by weight and measurements stated by the parent club of the CID
To be a second generation CID both parents of the dog has to be a registerd Chinese Imperial by the Chinese Imperial Dog Registry of America, Than when the Pup reaches 14 months must also be certified by weight and length to be register by the Chinese Imperial Dog Registry of America.
A 3rd generation Cid must also be verified at 14 mnts
The Cid is becoming accepted by the RARE breed registry soon.
In years to come when the CID breeders have 300 to 400 3rd generation Cids will they become a new breed reconized by the American Keenel Club foundation Stock Service. Than AKC will make the Chinese Imperial Dog is own breed and can be in AKC dog shows and we will compete with the Shih Tzu.

We feel we have every right to show off our best puppies and Adult Shih Tzu in the ring just as any magnificent breed of dog.
In our diligent efforts to become a breed variation of the Shih Tzu, and by not adding another bred of dog to our Imperials we found we can and do show and be accepted as Chinese Imperial Dog by many dog registries such as apiregistry.com and soon AKC. Our healthy Imperial Shih Tzu deserve this right.
Our purebred Imperial Shih tzu are registered with the AKC - American Kennel Club as a Shih Tzu
We breeders of Imperial Shih tzu and Chinese Imperial Dog, specialize in breeding the smaller sized dog which are often called the Chinese Imperials, Imperial Shih Tzu and incorrectly termed as a Toy Shih Tzu, Miniature Shih Tzu, Teacup Shih Tzu, or Pocket Puppies.
Our sizes ranging from 3-9 lbs but many of our puppies mature in the 4-7 lb ranges. We rarely have standard size Shih Tzu. We breed for healthy, quality, temperament and wonderful personalities.

~ Imperial Shih Tzu by Jensen ~ Chinese Imperial Dog & Imperial Shih Tzu What does "Imperial" Shih Tzu mean according to Websters Dictionary ? Of Superior or Unusual Size or Excellence Here at Imperial ShihTzu and the Chinese Imperial Dog breed our Chinese Imperial Dog and Imperial Shih Tzu for quality, health and temperament. We prefer our AKC Shih Tzu and our Chinese Imperial Dog to have short level backs, no eye white, straight legs, baby doll faces and tiny noses on gorgeous heads and sweet expression. Size or color of our puppies are not our highest priorities, but when I get a beautiful Shih Tzu or one that has vibrant color, I am very pleased. Our Chinese Imperial Dog are registered and shown with NCA National Canine Association our Shih Tzu are AKC American Kennel Club registered. As a Chinese Imperial and a ShihTzu breeder I prefer the origional smaller version of the breed that standard Shih Tzu was created from and to strive to mantain the same quality as the ShihTzu except we prefer ours origional parent of the Shih Tzu to be shown much smaller, shorter backed and less nose. We fondly call them " Imps " or Chinese Imperial Dog. Chinese Imperial and many Shih Tzu breeders feel the origional smaller version is the highly prized dog Many people refer to them as Tea Cup but that is not a correct term for a Shih Tzu. This term teacup is a poodle or yorkie term. Our Imperials and Shih Tzu are our family and we want homes where they will have loving parents that will feel the same about them. If you feel that you have that type of home for one of our puppies and desire to be considered for adoption, drop me an email or give me a call. Let's get to know one another. Later, if we both are still interested, then maybe you can drop by for a visit so that we can meet and you can meet my Chinese Imperial Dog and our Shih Tzu dogs. Member of the American Kennel Club Debbie Jensen © COPYRIGHT 2002-2008 A very good Article Imperial Shih Tzu: a Great Family Pet by Rebecca Simpson In the mystery of legends of China and Tibet, the origin of Shih Tzu is entwined. In the study of anthropology, various theories have been proposed to determine the exact origin of Shih Tzu. When one theory expounds that contemporary Shih Tzu originated during Manchu dynasty, the other puts much emphasis on the origination of Shih Tzu in the Imperial Court of China through the silk trade routes. As hypothesized by different scholars, Tibetan sleeve dogs are the ancestors of Imperial Shih Tzu. American Kennel Club (AKC) propounds the standard breed of Shih Tzu, while most common breeders use the terms ‘Imperial size’ or ‘Teacup size’. In the Imperial Palace of China, Shih Tzu was bred. Following the instructions received from the Chinese Empresses Dowager, the preference was only given to the smaller dogs, while the bigger ones were simply either discarded or sold in the dissident marketplace. The smaller ones were regarded as the highest honor provided to the diplomats from the Empresses. Hence, these smaller puppies were raised with maximum care. The tiny Imperial Shih Tzu is raised for quality, health and temperament. As defined by AKC, Imperial Shih Tzu features a short back, straight legs and baby doll face with tiny button nose on elegant head along with a cute and affectionate expression. The puppies may be available in different colors like chocolate, red, mahogany, liver, blue and other colors. Typically, the puppies may come in gorgeous coats, round eyes, soft little bodies and elegant heads. At the time of breeding, special care needs to be taken while selecting mating partners in order to properly breed the best personality, health and temperament in the offspring. Typically the temperament of an Imperial Shih Tzu is nice and sweet. They are basically cheerful, spunky and steady dogs. Royal affability, bold behavior and frequent arrogance set them apart from other type of breeds of the same family. Their behavior is very friendly with almost zero trouble. The Imperial Shih Tzu responds very nicely during patient training. Because of their alert nature, although they prefer to bark outside, they stay calm and quiet inside of the house. There is a huge market for the Imperial Shih Tzu. But many individuals and families have a preference for the Imperial Shih Tzu because of its small size. These types of dogs are easy to carry. Many tiny Imperial Shih Tzu owners take their dogs almost everywhere. Owners tend to treat these elite little dogs like treasures or extraordinary beautiful jewels. They are so small that they may require hand feeding and they need daily additional nutritional supplements also. Quite naturally you cannot purchase a Shih Tzu for the price of most other breeds. The price is settled depending on various factors like breeding pair, gender, color, markings and size. If you are ready to pay $2500, you might be able to buy a beautiful teacup Imperial Shih Tzu that tip the scales at a whopping full grown size of six pounds or less. Typically, you can start bargaining for an Imperial Shih Tzu at a base price of $1000. The size of the standard Imperial Shih Tzu is typically between six to nine pounds. For a standard Shih Tzu, you may only need to spend $500 for a dog that weighs in at nine pounds full grown. Member of the Chinese Imperial Dog Club of America Created with love for you to cherish
