The Spunky Shih Tzu
This distinctive looking dog can easily win your love. You chose to snuggle up with a Shih Tzu because you can expect certain traits:
Excellent companion
Needs minimal exercise
Sweet, playful, and friendly
Alert, curious, and busy
Good around other pets and dogs
Intelligent, friendly, and easily won over
It will take training, socialization, and attention to avoid problems related to these traits:
An indoor dog that doesn’t do well in the heat
May have a tendency to bark excessively
Can be aggressive, fearful, or snappy if not socialized properly
Can be difficult to housetrain
Fragile and easily injured due to small size
Needs frequent attention from her family
Her large personality and adorable underbite make it easy to understand why the Shih Tzu is one of the most popular breeds in the United States.
The “Little Lion Dog” originated in 17th century China and is believed to be a cross between the Tibetan Spaniel and the Lhasa Apso. She is a relatively new breed in America; in the 1960s, only 100 Shih Tzus were registered in the country! Their popularity rose quickly though, and they were recognized by the AKC in 1969. They are sensitive to heat and require only moderate exercise. Shih Tzus are primarily companion dogs, and they take this job very seriously—they love to be with their families whenever possible. The Shih Tzu is a generally healthy breed with an average lifespan of 13-15 years.
