We at HST welcome all genuine new members and look forward to hearing about yourselves and you fur babies.

Unfortuanatley we have had some problems with people joining using fake ID's with no intention of contributing anything of value to the forum.

We are not concerned by these sad people who obviously have nothing better to occupy them other than snooping around on here.

Please do not be put off by this announcement; we are a fun forum with a core of knowledgeable ShihTzu fanatics with a passion for the breed, but we also have to let these people know that we are not being fooled by their attempts to infiltrate out forum.

May we also add that password sharing is not allowed and will result in the instant ban of the member, IP addresses are checked on a regular basis so anyone found to be doing this will have their membership terminated.
