Information
Shih Tzu
Breed: Shih Tzu
Ref ID: 6737
Color: Brown / White
Shih Tzu loosely translates to ‘Little Lion’ in Mandarin. Ironically, it was named after its looks because there is absolutely no fierceness to this adorable dog breed. From the laps of emperors in ancient China to the hearts of its present-day owners, Shih Tzus have always been leaders in the hall of fame for canine companionship.

Temperament & Family Fit
The Shih Tzu is known for its friendly and affectionate nature, making it a wonderful addition to any family. These small dogs have a knack for getting along with children, other dogs, and even cats, creating a harmonious household. Their loving disposition means they’ll often be right by your side, ready for cuddles and companionship.
Energy & Exercise
With a low energy level, the Shih Tzu is perfectly suited for apartment living and can get their exercise with short, leisurely walks. They enjoy playtime, but they’re not overly demanding when it comes to physical activity, making them great for those with a more relaxed lifestyle. A few play sessions each day will keep them happy and content!
Care & Grooming
Grooming is an important aspect of caring for a Shih Tzu, as their luxurious coat requires professional grooming to maintain its beauty and health. Although they do shed, regular grooming can help manage loose hair and keep their coat looking fabulous. It’s also nice to note that their minimal exercise needs means you can dedicate more time to keeping them well-groomed!
Training Notes
While Shih Tzus can be a bit stubborn, early socialization and consistent training efforts can yield great results. They may not be the easiest to train, but with patience and positive reinforcement, you can teach them basic commands and tricks. Just remember that these little bundles of joy thrive on affection, so mixing training with lots of love will keep both you and your pup motivated!
