Families with small children should always supervise the children when they play with the dog,
the Shih Tzu is a sturdy dog but , his size puts him at a disadvantage. The coat requires consistant grooming if you
want your dog to look and feel his best, which should be a consideration before bringing a Shih Tzu into your home. They are
beautiful when their hair is clean, long and brushed. Their hair can be cut short if you don't have time to deal with
it. The Shih Tzu is a true companion. His happy, out-going and affectionate temperament coupled with his friendly and trusting
nature make him a great house pet.
The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy dog with long flowing double coat. Befitting his noble
Chinese ancestry as a highly valued, prized companion and palace pet, the Shih Tzu is proud of bearing, has a distinctively
arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. Although there has always been considerable size variation,
the Shih Tzu must be compact, solid, carrying good weight and substance.
