                                                           around Manly Surf Club where
                                                           he is quite content to sit on a
                                                           bench next to me and watch
                                                           other dogs, their owners and

                                                           had his DNA tested a few years
                                                           back as we were curious of his
                                                           breed and we get asked most
                                                           days ‘what he is’ so thought it
                                                           wise to find out. The result came
                                                           back and concluded that he was
                                                           indeed a Bull Terrier mixed with
                                                           a Shih Tzu so he is literally a
                                                           Bull’shih-t'....you get my meaning.
