Here are some more information for Guardian Lion:
The Shih Tzu, is a breed of dog which originated in China. The name is both singular and plural. They are reported to be the oldest and smallest of the Tibetan holy dogs. This type of dog has been around for a long time. They were bred to bark when people or animals approached the palace of the Emperor of China this alerted people to the presence of unwanted visitors. It is believed that this ornamental breed was created by breeding the Pekingese with a Tibetan dog breed, the Lhasa Apso. Recent DNA analysis confirms that this is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. This dog is also known as the Chinese/Tibetan Lion Dog or the Chrysanthemum Dog. It is called the chrysanthemum dog because its face looks very much like the flower.
The Shih Tzu is characterized by its long, flowing double coat, sturdy build, intelligence, and a friendly, energetic, lively attitude. In breeding all coat colors are allowed. The Shih Tzu coat can be styled either in a short summer cut, or kept long for conformation show. This dog does not have fur like many other breeds; they have hair similar to a human's. Instead of shedding, it loses hair gradually, much like humans lose hair in the shower or while grooming. They need to be brushed daily with a bristle brush and any topknot should be tied with a bow or band so the dog can see well. This breed sheds little to no hair or dandruff making them great for most allergy sufferers.
The American Kennel Club Shih Tzu breed standard calls for the dog to have a short snout, large eyes, and a palm-like tail that waves above its torso. Their height at shoulders is 9 to 10 1/2 inches. The dog should stand no less than 8 inches and not more than 11 inches tall. The Shih Tzu should never be so high stationed as to appear leggy, or so low stationed as to appear dumpy or squatty. Regardless of size or gender, they should always be solid and compact, and carry good weight and substance for its size range. This falls under the Toy category of the AKC.
The American Kennel Club and the American Shih Tzu Club defines them as a dog that weighs between 9 to 16 pounds as the official breed standard. Descriptions like "imperial", "teacup", "tiny teacup" are used, but dogs that fit such descriptions are often an undersized or underdeveloped Shih Tzu. Both the AKC and ASTC consider these variances to not be in conformity with the official breed standard. These tiny variances are also not what were defined as a standard by the Chinese imperial palace or by the professional circuit. Breeders who deal in designer dogs are not eligible for membership in some clubs. For example, the American Shih Tzu Club, the official guardian of the breed standard, denies membership to such breeders.
The life span of it is 11-14 years, although some variation from this range is possible. Some health issues common among the breed are wheezing, snoring, spinal disc disease, Porto systemic liver shunt, renal dysplasia, and hip dysplasia - in standard sizes. In addition, they also can suffer from various eye problems. These as well as many other breeds, may present signs of allergies to red dye #40, and owners should respond to scratching in the absence of fleas by eliminating pet foods that contain this commonly used additive. Also they should have their teeth checked regularly because they tend to lose them early.
The Shih Tzu requires a little more care than some other breeds, and potential owners who are looking for a low maintenance dog should probably choose another breed. Because their snouts are small and borderline nonexistent, drinking water from a bowl often contributes to their unclean faces. Owners sometimes use water dispensers like those used in hamster and rabbit cages. If the dog is drinking from a bowl, it is sometimes necessary to keep on eye on them; water can enter their face-level noses more easily and inhibit breathing. The area around the eyes should be cleaned gently each day, with cotton and warm water. Providing them with bottled water or water that does not contain chlorine helps to keep eye mucus to a minimum. These dogs are high maintenance regarding grooming and cleaning.
The Shih Tzu can be very independent when it comes to play and exercise. Unlike bigger dogs like Golden Retrievers and Labradors, they tend to be quite content when left alone. Most enjoy exercising outdoors and, when exercised regularly, have plenty of stamina. Most enjoy a long walk, although they are also quite happy to run around the house. However, owners must remember that they have quite short legs, so a Shih Tzu's idea of a long walk is much shorter than ours. They can tire very easily. A dog whose coat is allowed to grow out needs daily brushing to avoid tangles .A short haircut, also known as a pet trim or puppy cut, avoids this extra level of care. However, since the breed is obviously adapted to a cool climate, letting the coat grow out for the colder seasons is appropriate.
These dogs are considered to be snub-nosed dogs which makes them very sensitive to high temperatures. This is why airlines that ship dogs will not accept them for shipment when temperatures at any point on the planned itinerary exceed 75 degrees. Also, like many other breeds, the claws need close attention. This is not specific to them but all small dogs. It is important to remember predators that normally hunt rodents and rabbits do not know the difference between such and a Shih Tzu. When caring for the owner must remember that they should not be let out with the protection of a real or electric fence but with its owner's watchful eye because a hawk or eagle can swoop down from above and carry a dog off.

Güzelyurt(morphou)
Many trees died from neglect or disease, but by 1980 the situation was under control, and exports of citrus fruits began an upward trend. Sunzets, the juice and canning factory of Asil Nadir, Turkish Cypriot exmillionaire, is conspicuous at the town’s outskirts. Unfortunately, as the citrus groves increased in size and number, the development of irrigation techniwques could not keep up, leading to water contamination along the coastline.Arriving at the large central roundabout of the town, you drive into the little car park in front of the museum, beside the Ayias Mamas Church. The Güzelyurt Museum is open daily from 08.00-17.00 and the museum guardian has the key to the church.
A visit to both takes about an hour or so.The museum opened in 1979 and contains downstairs a remarkable assortment of stuffed animals of the island, including pelicans and other birds, reptiles, foxes, rabbits and sheep. Particularly memorable, if somewhat grotesque, are the aberrant lambs, freaks of nature, one with eight legs, one with two heads on its tiny frail body. Upstairs is the archaeological section, room in the far corner is the most interesting, containing both a 2nd-century statue of Artemis, whose unusual, multi-breasted from will be familiar to anyone remarkably well preserved gold jewellery.
Outside, the guardian will , on request take you across the courtyard of Ayias Mamas Church, round the edge of what are now the disused 18th-century monastic cells, A modern wing of this accommodation was, pre-1974, one of the Bishop of Girne’s residences.Inside the church, it is as if the service had only just finished. The walls and iconostasis are resplendent with icons, many of them Venetian, and all of them in excellent condition. Behind the iconostasis , the cupboards still bulge with silver and gilt cups and chalices, and lavish richly coloured robes. One reader describes the church perfectly: ’a Miss Havisham of a church, frozen in time.’
The tomb of Ayias Mamas himself is on a side wall beside the entrance, draped in red curtains. In the centre of the sarcophagus is a wooden flap which lifts to reveal two holes where, according to the guardian, ‘ the Greeks poured oil inside’. Tradition held that the saint’s body exuded an oil which cured earache and calmed stormy seas, an oil which was collected from these two holes. Ears, in silver and in wax, still hang beside the tomb, their owners waiting patiently to be healed.
Ayias Mamas himself was a popular saint who earned the undying respect of the Cypriot peasantry in the 12th century by refusing to pay his poll tax. He is always shown in icons riding on a lion, because the story goes that when his Byzantine ruler sent for him to be brought before the court and punished, the saint rode in astride a wild lion and was promptly exempted from his taxes for life. Around 14 churches are dedicated to him throughout the island.
