My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My wife and I got stormy from a small independent breeder in 2015. He picked us out shortly before our wedding, and then we brought him home right after our honeymoon. He is a very goofy dog, prefers people over other dogs but will have lots of fun with the right dog as well. He doesn't act like a typical Shih Tzu, he loves to play fetch on the beach (will ignore everything else, dogs, people, etc. and only wants the ball thrown), loves the water and to swim. All in all he has a lot of traits of other larger or different breed dogs wrapped up in one little Shih Tzu body.

As much as it pains us, we unfortunately cannot keep Stormy anymore. My wife and I have two small children, a 3 year old and an 8 month old. In a combination of jealousy (he's attached to my wife) and other stubborn behavior, he will insist on being next to the kids on the floor no matter how much we try and move him away. But then he has started snapping at the kids if they bump him, even nipping my son a few times.
