Bailey (2) (On Trial 5/11/12)

Bailey is a purebred male shih tzu aged 2 years. He has the most beautiful soft coat which feels just like silk and he just adores cuddles and belly rubs.

He gets along well with other dogs and he can stand on his back legs and beg which is just the cutest thing ever.

Bailey is not a barker, walks well on the lead and does not fret when left alone. He loves playing with his toys especially the squeeky ones.

Bailey is not yet fully housetrained because his foster carer works and isn't able to do it, but with some attention and training in his forever home he will learn quickly.

He is a versatile little boy who could fit into almost any loving home preferrably without young children as he needs kind, gentle treatment and Would do absolutely fine in a home with another dog or as an only dog.

Bailey is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside when the family are home and to sleep inside.

Bailey has a low shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep him comfortable and beautiful.

With just a little training, Bailey would make someone a fantastic companion as he is just adorable.
