Shih Tzu  /  American Shih Tzu Club (AKD 5.8)

This collection contains studbooks, pedigree books, and other registries, statistical compilations, and data sets pertinent to the breeding and sport of purebred dogs, such as champion and top-producer lists, performance records, and health research results.

All individual volumes produced by an AKC parent or member club will list the club as the Creator.

The end date can generally be assumed to be the publishing date. Bracketed dates were assigned by cursory review of content and should be considered an approximation.

A bulk of these items also appear in the library catalog (www.akc.org/searchlibrary), records in which may offer more publication information.

While most of these items were published, many were not widely disseminated or even professionally bound; some might even be considered ephemera and are in delicate condition. More high-production pictorials and pedigree books may be found in AKD 100.3 Club Yearbooks, Annuals, and Pictorials.
