The Shih Tzu is a superb companion and household member. They are outgoing, happy, affectionate, friendly and trusting towards all.
Barks If Necessary
It is true that Shih Tzu, like other dogs who have hair instead of fur, shed less (a bit every day rather than huge quantities seasonally) and have less dander than most dogs. For this reason they are often classified as “hypo-allergenic.” But no dog is non-allergenic – not even a hairless breed – because a person could be allergic to the saliva or urine of a dog as well as the dander/fur. If you have allergy concerns please visit the store and spend some time with our Shih Tzu puppies and see how you feel. Most people with dog allergies will not be impacted by a Shih Tzu.
The Shih Tzu is known to be especially affectionate with children. It is important that children are supervised when they interact with a small breed puppy like a Shih Tzu. You will be doing a dual training process of teaching the puppy manners while you are also teaching the children how to safely play with and interact with the puppy.
A Shih Tzu snorts and snores because of its short snout.
Training a Shih Tzu can be both an amusing and a frustrating experience. The breed tends to charm his owner into letting him have his own way, which can result in a chubby, less-than-completely-housebroken pet who is difficult to groom. Because Shih Tzu are such people dogs, training methods based on praise and rewards work best. Harsh corrections should not be used with this breed. Introduce desired new behaviors a bit at a time, be firm, and never give in while the dog is misbehaving. If he nips or jumps up on you, ignore him until he settles down, then praise him. Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended and help to ensure that the Shih Tzu grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered companion. When enrolling in a puppy class, be sure that the training methods used in the class are based on positive reinforcement.
Shih Tzus are pet-friendly and very accommodating of other pets.
Shih Tzu have long, straight, non shedding hair. The non shedding nature of the breed’s coat means that owners should pick a length that makes sense for the amount of brushing they wish to perform. Coats that are kept in a longer, show-style cut need to be brushed and combed daily to avoid knots and tangles. To protect the Shih Tzu’s eyes from being irritated, the hair on the top of the head should be trimmed short or tied up into a topknot. Coats that are kept short in a “puppy cut” require less daily care but the coat must be trimmed more often to maintain this lower maintenance look.
Trimming nails and cleaning ears should be part of the Shih Tzu’s grooming routine.
Shih Tzu puppies are small and should be fed several times per day to ensure their calorie needs are met. As they mature Shih Tzus will eat between 2/3 and 1 cup of dry food per day.
Due to their brachycephalic (flat snout) features, Shih Tzus will have minor difficulty breathing in poorly-ventilated environments. These dogs should not be exposed to extreme heat or cold.
The Shih Tzu has a lifespan of ten to eighteen years.
Shih Tzus weigh 9 to 16 pounds
