But before you purchase or adopt a Shih Tzu, find out more about this cute little breed with this special information:
- A Shih Tzu has one of the more high maintenance dog breeds when it comes to grooming. You need to keep its coat clean, healthy and trimmed. It has a flowing double coat that makes it look like its floating off the ground, if you let the hair grow to show length.
- This dog is very eager to please and is very friendly. It’s short but will stand up to a much larger dog.
- The name Shih Tzu translates to “lion dog” and this is because of its fearlessness.
- The Shih Tzu is one of the most loyal breeds. It is an extrovert and will do well with other pets.
- Despite its long hair coat, this dog sheds minimally. It is therefore recommended to owners that may have allergies.
- The Shih Tzu is intelligent but could take time to train. The key is to train it early and to continuously add more commands and perfect commands every day.
- This dog can watch over your family or property since it will bark and growl when there is an intruder.
- The Shih Tzu will be contented just to be with you and will thus work well for people living in small apartments.
- Be careful when taking this dog for a walk outside since it cannot tolerate too hot and too cold environments. Check the temperature first before taking it for a walk.
