This Shih Tzu is a Red & White (color code S 146); as a pup, her red was much brighter. It has faded down somewhat to what may be compared to a dark gold, but she is still technically a red & white.

This is a Black & White Shih Tzu (color code S 019). What a beautiful tail. Every black and white Shih Tzu is going to look completely unique, with their colors falling in endless ways.

This cutie-pie is a Brindle & White (AKC color code S 059). Brindle is not actually a color, it is a pattern of stripes and holds many colors. Colors in the brindling are usually gray, black and brown hairs that are intermingled.

This is a Liver & White Shih Tzu (AKC color code S 125). What makes this Shih Tzu liver is her skin points. You can see her nose is liver, not black. And the smaller inset photo shows her as a young puppy; her double color was very pronounced in her coat and it faded as she matured.

This is a fantastic example of color change for Shih Tzu dogs. This Shih Tzu is registered as a Gold & White, color code S 092, but as he matured the gold transitioned into the gray that you see here.
