Bracelets/bracelet: Is a marking around of on the paw or wrist of the puppy. Collar: is around the neck which is usually white. Saddle: saddle like the saddle that is placed on a horse Tuxedo: white patch of hair can be found on the chest. Can be white or another color. Markings: Some markings are unique and are described in their own ways. Black Mask: Usually a black coloring of hair on the puppies muzzle like a beard. THe markings can extend upward towards the eye and ears. Dobie Markings: This is a rare coloring in Shih Tzus but the marking can occur in puuppies when the are born and slowly go away. This markings would be simlar to a Doberman Pinscher. These type of markings can be found above the eye, around the jawls, lower legs, and under the tail. These puppies would be price at premium adoption rate. We have not produced a Dobie but Cutie does have Dobie in her lines and many of her puppies look Dobie at birth.
