How 14 Shih Tzus Saved Dog Breed from Extinction in 1949 China Revolution

Imagine a breed of dogs so beloved that they were once considered sacred symbols of status and wealth. But what if this breed was nearly wiped out by a brutal war? That's the incredible story of the Shih Tzu. In the mid-20th century, the Chinese Communist Army's rise to power posed a grave threat to the Shih Tzu. These regal dogs, once cherished by the Chinese aristocracy, were seen as symbols of the old regime and were ruthlessly hunted down. The breed teetered on the brink of extinction. However, a small group of dedicated individuals, both Chinese and foreign, refused to let the Shih Tzu disappear. They risked their lives to rescue and protect the remaining dogs, smuggling them out of China and into safer countries. Through their tireless efforts, the Shih Tzu breed was revived and eventually returned to its homeland. Today, the Shih Tzu is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world, a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought to preserve its legacy. ========== Timestamp: 0:00 - Introduction 1:06 - Tibetan Origins 2:09 - Empress Dowager Cixi 3:00 - Threats from Chinese Revolutions 4:31 - 14 Shih Tzus Remain 5:46 - A Tribute to Brandy Pooh =========== Sources: https://shorturl.at/nyh5q
