The Shih Tzu is a small, affectionate, and cute companion breed known for its sweet temperament and fluffy coat. They were originally bred as lap dogs for Chinese royalty, which is why Shih Tzus thrive on human companionship and love being part of the family. They are gentle, playful, and typically get along well with children and other pets, making them excellent family dogs. While they don’t need a lot of exercise, daily short walks and fun indoor play keep them happy and healthy. They have long flowing coat which needs regular grooming or can be trimmed into a puppy cut. Loyaland loving, Shih Tzus make wonderful lifelong companions.
