Shih Tzu Dog Breed Profile

Shih Tzu Breed Profile

A lovely companion dog with an independent personality and a slight distrust of strangers.

Loyal to their owner and family. Has a slight arrogance and often thinks he knows better! They make excellent pets for children and will happily play all day. Can live in town or country, and although will adapt to the family's lifestyle, they still enjoy daily exercise.

The Breed Standard stipulates height at withers not more than 27cm. Weight: 4.5-8kg.

Generally healthy, but there are one or two breed-specific areas to watch out for, especially eye infections.

Plenty of grooming tools required!

Remember! All breed profiles are general and every dog is an individual.
