Dog breeds: Shih Tzu
Back to list of breeds
The
Shih Tzu, also called the Chrysanthemum Dog, is a toy breed that
originated in Tibet and was originally used for guarding temples.
This breed most likely developed from crossing the Pekingese with
the Tibetan Mountain Dog. They are a small dog that only stands
between 8 and 11 inches tall and that weighs between 8 and 15 pounds.
They have a long and silky coat including a long mustache and beard.
They come in a variety of color variations and combinations. The
Shih Tzu is a gentle and loyal pet that works well for families
with kids as well as people living on their own. They do require
extra effort to keep their coat in shape so make sure to give them
regular brushings and groomings.
The Shih Tzu is a smart dog and can take quickly to training. They
do need a lot of supervision when young, however, as many Shih Tzus
that are left with too much free time in the house can develop house
training issues by sneaking away to use your carpet as their bathroom.
Spend a lot of time 'showing' your dog what is expected before moving
on to more advanced obedience behaviors.
Be patient and consistent and you will have no problem training
your Shih Tzu.

Shih Tzus
I have been breeding Quality
Shih Tzus now for over 20 years. I raise **AKC** only dogs.
I believe in quality not quantity. All breeding dogs need to
have: Thick coats, good bites, no nostrils problems, short and
cobby, nice big eyes with little to no eye white. They all have
passed a thorough blood workup, and pass an eye exam from a
licenced Canine Opthomoligist. They need to have an awesome
personality and be healthy all around. I prefer the small end
of the standard. I have all colors: blacks, blues, silvers,
chocolates, deep reds and red and gold and whites. Puppies are
always raised in my home with lots of socialization. I have
many references by my Vet and clients. AKC, State, and Vet inspected
yearly. Call me or email me anytime!
