Shih Tzu Puppies are a very loving breed that requires plenty of attention and affection. Their small, short legs make them a great house companion, but they also need daily walks and dedicated indoor playtime. Your Shih Tzu will enjoy roaming your home with you, playing with toys, and greeting visitors.

The Shih Tzu is a relatively ancient breed, dating back to approximately 1,000 years. The dog was first bred by Tibetan monks and then brought to China by the Chinese emperors. The dog was named after the lion, which was associated with Buddhism. This dog breed is soft-furred and cuddly, and its long hair is similar to the petals of a chrysanthemum flower.

A Shih Tzu's coat changes rapidly. It begins with fluffy fluff at a young age and becomes silky as the dog gets older. As they grow, the coat also begins to mat. It's important to brush regularly to ensure the coat stays in its best shape. Shih Tzus are very popular in North America. In 1969, the American Kennel Club recognized the breed. Today, Shih Tzus weigh between nine and 16 pounds. They are typically eight to 11 inches high at the withers. Despite their small size, they have strong bones and muscles and are well-balanced for a small dog.
