ROCCO -DNA

Rocco is one of our alumni.  His mom decided to do a DNA test.  
Look what it showed!   We are both shaking our heads. 
He definitely looks more Peke to us.  
Do you see any hair over the front of his face?  Or hair growing over the mouth?  
Shih Tzus are thought to be from the Pekingese and Lhasa Apso (a long time ago) so there must be some Pekingese in him somewhere.  Whatever he is he is beautiful!

  2. There is a genetic ’difference’ that is rare in some Shih-tzus and they are called Prapso. I actually just saw one and absolutely swore she was a Peke. I had to look it up. It makes them look indistinguishable.
