"Chinese Crested" dogs are an entirely different breed from Shih Tzu's. The ads may be for mixed breed dogs, but are certainly not for purebred ones...Unless the breeder is breeding BOTH kinds of dogs, and are advertising two different breeds in the same ad.
Be careful of breeders who "specialize" in many different breeds of dog. These are usually "puppy mills" where dogs are badly neglected, confined to wire boxes, and forced to breed repeatedly until they die. Responsible breeders usually specialize in only one breed and focus on improving the breed as a whole.

I have never heard of a chinese crested shih tzu. Chinese crested is a breed of its own. Check out the AKC for info. on dog breeds

They are two separate breeds. I have a chinese crested named BuHsi - one of the powderpuffs as I don't like the hairless ones. The Chinese Crested is a wonderful pet as they are very gentle and loving, and they don't often bark. I've never known BuHsi to tear anything up, either. She's mostly all about love, eating, sleeping and treats.

Contrary to popular belief this usage is not lazy or indecent nor is it as recent as many of you seem to think. At least as far back as the time of the American Revolution pls or plz was used in place of please in correspondence , again after the introduction of the telegraph, and most recently with the advent of text messaging, and all for the same reason, cost. During the early days of our country both paper and ink were expensive, so there were accepted methods of abbreviation to cram as much information into a letter as possible pls (or plz) was one example of this. When sending telegrams you were charged by the word (as in typing every 5 characters not actual words) so once again pls was used (among many other shortcuts u for you and so on) to make the sending of a message as cost effective as possible. As for text messaging, when first introduced, you may recall, we were charged per message we sent, so cutting letters out of messages meant a single text could be sent instead of two. It became a habit that carried over onto the internet, even though the need for the abbreviation no long exists,,,,to be fair though I am fairly sure you type OK or okay instead of Orl Korrekt which is the widely accepted original phrase the abbreviation came from, so can you really cast stones?
