The
occurrence of renal disease
in young Shih - Tzu puppies and the fact that usually more than one puppy
in a litter and
in some instances, the entire litter is affected leads us to suspect it is inherited and that every effort should be made by Shih - Tzu
breeders to avoid breeding any stock whose former offspring have been affected.
The Boston Terrier Club of America health committee is collecting data on breed health problems to help eliminate these problems as much as possible, but the potential for their
occurrence in the breed makes it essential that potential buyers shop carefully for a
breeder.
