Chinese breed of dog (4-3)

I believe the answer is:

shih-tzu

(Other definitions for shih-tzu that I've seen before include "Toy dog with long silky hair" , "Eastern dog breed" , "Breed of dog with long hair and short legs" , "Breed of short dog with long silky hair" , "Small Oriental breed of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Guardian.
