Jo-Kin's Northern Blueberry

"Mustikki" was "The Puppy Of The Year 2010"

Mustikki is a little black princess indeed, though she is not entirely black, I know. If someone does not like her appearince, one will defenitely love her personality! She has the attitude, no one will mess around with her. I call her also a "Paris Hilton dog" because she just loves to be on lap - the more the better. Cuddling, scratching, kissing, hugging - she loves it.And what is even better, she is so small that she is easy to carry around, which she also likes a lot.

Mustikki is our own "tea cup Shih Tzu" because she IS tiny! Someone would really call her "imperial" or "tea cup" or something.. BUT her size is, in fact, totally according to the official breed standard. Ans she is, in other ways too than just the weight, a full Shih Tzu, though on the smaller end of the size chart. And since Shih Tzus in the show rings are usually so big, she looks even smaller next to them. That is why she has not been in the rings since the puppy times - and she probably never will. She lives happily ever after, retired from the show rings so young, with her "mom" (who gives her all the attention she wants) near to us.
