Friendly and affectionate, baby Shizue is excited to be the latest pup of your pack! Shizue is a girl's name of Japanese origin, spelled as しずえ in Hiragana. Meaning "peaceful," "gentle," and "calm," Shizue has all the great characteristics of a lovable child. Nintendo fans may recognize Animal Crossing's Isabelle, a Shih Tzu known as Shizue in Japan. In Chinese, Shih Tzu means "lion," adding a mighty air to this moniker. In Japan, Shizue Ukaji is an Ainu activist for her indigenous clans of Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands, who just like a lion, speaks up for her people's traditions. With all the gentle nature of a dog and the strength of a lion, your little Shizue will have a well-rounded and magnetic presence.
