rare not rear...no - black is a color, Shih Tzu is the breed...look on the AKC website - all colors are acceptable in the breed standard. Get a playmate that he gets along with and that is a good fit for your home and family - color should be one of the last considerations.

Black shi tzus aren't rare, I've owned two of them. What's hard to find is a shi tzu with blue skin. No I'm not joking. In some black shi tzus the hair is so dark it gives the skin a blue color to it. It's hard to find but when you do the hair is usually a dark glossy black color and it can be a very pretty dog. But they shouldn't cost any more or any less because they are black.

There is no such thing as a true black Shi Tzu - if someone has a black Shi Tzu it is probably a cross breed and not worth much, so don't go shelling out a fortune for one.

Black shih tzus arent rare - just most people go for the typical golden white ones. I had a beautiful black one called Kara. We have bred and showed them for years. You will have no problem finding one xx
Sorry blondie but we showed our 'black' shih tzu at crufts and i can assure you she wasnt a cross breed!!!

Beccy24 is right. A black Shih Tzu is not rare, and it doesn't necessarily have to be crossbred to be black. I've seen many black Shih Tzus.

i didn't think shitzus came in black! i know tibetan terriers and lhasa apso's do. i did hear recently someone thought their dog was a shitzu and it turned out to be a lhasa

NOT a "BREED"!
JUST a color & only RARE because THEY ARE *UGLY* & breeders REALLY TRY *NOT* to have any!!! "RARE" in ANYTHING usually means WRONG!!!
& DON'T get another dog for your dog!!! he DOESN'T want competition!

Would that be "rare"??? I think they all have rears.
