I have a Shih Tzu the same colors. His nose isn't real smushed. He is the happiest when I drop a piece of fabric, he knows he shouldn't have it. He also likes to get ahold of batting. I usually catch him right after he gets it. It is hard to see in his mouth. He is good for the Groomer and the Vet. Mine is Dusty, looks like a dust mop before he gets groomed. Dusty is 9-1/2 months old. He doesn't learn as fast as my previous toy Poodles did, but when he finally "gets it" he doesn't forget.
Your Eddie is very cute. I think he will be a wonderful companion.
