Shih Tzu

Shih Tzus are small, sturdy toy dogs prized for their luxurious, flowing coats and endearing “chrysanthemum” faces framed by a short muzzle and large, dark eyes. Originating in Tibet and refined in Chinese imperial courts, they carry themselves with a proud yet gentle demeanor. Their compact size and adaptable nature make them perfect for apartment living, while their affectionate temperament ensures they form deep bonds with their human families.
Known as devoted lapdogs, Shih Tzus thrive on companionship and respond beautifully to positive-reinforcement training. They require daily short walks or indoor play to stay healthy, and their long hair benefits from regular brushing or a manageable clip to prevent tangles. With their cheerful disposition, minimal barking, and ability to get along with children and other pets, Shih Tzus bring warmth and joy to homes of all kinds.
