Australian Shih Tzus - Cosmo and Bella and their Kids

A Shih Tzu Story - Cosmo & Bella, Family & Friends

Latest News: Well, we finally made it to Tasmania to see Kramer (Oscar) and Tish (Buffy). And of course we got to meet Oscar's four new puppies, plus Bella (puppies's mother), Barney and Benson. Check out the photos below!

(this is Cosmo & Bella!)

Cosmo was born in April, 1995 and came to us in August 1995. He came from the Colbourne family,
respected breeders of the Shih Tzu breed. We adopted Cosmo's half sister Bella
in July of 1996. She also came from the Colbourne family.

Cosmo and Bella have had three litters, the first two litters producing two puppies each,
although unfortunately on both occasions one of the pups died.

The first puppy was Kramer, a boy, who was adopted by Donna from Denvenport, Tasmania. He is now called Oscar and has just fathered a litter of 4 puppies with Bella. Heart of gold Barney is the self-appointed godfather of the puppies!

The second puppy (from litter 2) was Fifi, who lives in Rowville with Cynthia and her family. Fifi is now called Molly.

The third litter produced three surviving puppies, Tish (Buffy), Pia (Tily) and Ziggy (Rory).
Tish lives in Tasmania with Geneen, Pia in Brighton and Ziggy in Croydon with David.

The Shih Tzu breed is definitely the most delightful of all dog breeds.
