Shih Tzu Breed Info

If you're searching for a furry companion that's loving, loyal, and just plain adorable, the Shih Tzu might be the perfect breed for you. These little dogs are known for their long, silky coats, short snouts, and sweet personalities that make them beloved by families all over the world. 

The Shih Tzu breeds are known for their incredibly affectionate nature. These dogs love nothing more than spending time with their humans, whether it's snuggling up on the couch or going for a leisurely walk in the park. They're also known for being great with kids, making them an ideal family pet. 

But don't let their cute and cuddly appearance fool you, Shih Tzus are also surprisingly sturdy little dogs. Despite their small size, they're known for their courage and resilience, which makes them a great choice for families that want a dog that can keep up with their active lifestyle. 

Like any breed, Shih Tzus do have their unique needs when it comes to care and attention. They can be more prone to breathing problems due to their short snouts, and they're also more likely to overheat in hot weather. However, with proper care and attention, these issues can be managed to ensure that your furry friend stays happy and healthy.
