Shih Tzu – Petrie

Pure bred Shih Tzu Puppies. Last black and white male left. Mum and dad are both our family pets they are both very chill laid back babies. They are both free roaming inside/outside pets but always sleep inside. This is their first litter. Picture number 4 is mum. This gorgeous baby is ready for his fur ever home now. Puppy has been vet checked vaccinated wormed and is micro chipped. Upon leaving he will take with him a small puppy pack to help you and the puppy settle into their new home. You are welcome to arrange a viewing time and day to come view and meet your puppy and/or I will send photos and videos to update you on your puppy’s progress. The puppy is currently being raised in a family home as an inside pet, as they are not really a permanent outside dog breed. This pup loves pats and cuddles and is very social with interaction while he waits for his snuggle time with you. He has been toilet trained to use the dog door, so heads outside for number 1,s and 2,s. Please if you can offer a loving caring home for this little man please contact me. I’m looking forward to meeting you.

More about the Havashu The Havashu breed has been part of the designer dog category since the 1990s. The Havanese’s parent breed dates back to the 1400s and was brought in by Spanish settlers who settled in Cuba. On the other hand, the Shih Tzu got bred in royalty as a lap dog companion and a gift to noblemen in ancient China and Tibet. The resulting cross of these two luxury dog breeds resulted in the Havashu. Their association with celebrities has increased their popularity. Most of the breeds now originate from the U.S, with some coming from the UK, Canada, and Australia. If you love small lap dogs, the Havashu is a perfect choice. The Havashu is an adorable dog that is highly affectionate, energetic, and easy to train. They are good for first-time dog owners and families. If you’re looking for an intelligent and playful dog, the Havashu is an amazing pet for you. They love to have human company, so it’s important to be able to play with them and give them enough mental and physical stimulation. Havashus are small dogs that will highly enjoy your company. Bringing home a Havashu will be a fun adventure with your little furry friend. After you have decided which pup calls to you - send me a message to arrange a facetime on 0401065493 Location is Miranda, NSW

The Ultimate Shih Tzu Guide

About Shih Tzu

The name “Shih Tzu” means “little lion,” which is a misnomer given that the dog itself is anything but vicious. A perennially popular pooch, this regal and ancient breed also has other nicknames such as “Fu dog,” “Tibetan Poodle,” and “under-the-table dog.”

Grooming

Shih Tzus mat easily, so brushing or combing their coat daily is advised.

Origins

It is believed that Shih Tzus go all the way back to 8,000 BC, making them one of the 14 oldest dog breeds in the world.

Some say they were originally bred by Tibetan monks who sent them as gifts to Chinese emperors. Others say they were created in China by crossing other breeds with either the Pekingese or Lhasa Apso.

It was only in the late 1920s that Shi Tzus were introduced outside Asia – first in England, then in Ireland. Two decades later, they were brought to the United States. It was in 1969 that the American Kennel Club recognised this breed as a member of the Toy Group.

Key Characteristics Of Shih Tzus

Are Shih Tzus Family-Friendly?

They sure are. Shih Tzus make excellent family pets because of their affectionate nature. They are happiest when they are with their humans, and they are great with children and other animals.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Shih Tzus may suffer from:

Allergies

Patellar luxation

A condition where the kneecap dislocates or moves out of its normal location within the knee joint.

Bladder stones

Juvenile renal dysplasia

A congenital disorder where the kidneys fail to develop properly, leading to impaired kidney function and often resulting in early-onset kidney failure.

Umbilical hernia

Nature / Temperament

Playful, affectionate, loyal, intelligent, independent, and friendly

Suitable Environment

The Shih Tzu is a very adaptable dog. It doesn’t mind where it lives as long as it is with you. It will do well in a small apartment or a large house – whether in the city, suburbs, or farm.

A backyard is not essential, as this breed should not be kenneled outside in the first place. As a housedog, the only time it should be outdoors is when it is exercising or playing.

Other Considerations

– They are sensitive to heat, so it is recommended to always keep them in an air-conditioned room on hot days.

– Shih Tzus are prone to eating feces, whether their own or not. Luckily, this problem can be handled by picking up and throwing away the excrement immediately and making sure you watch your dog closely when in a public place.

– Beware of unscrupulous breeders who refer to their Shih Tzu puppies for sale as “teacup” or “imperial.” This breed is only either small or large.

Average cost of a Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu for sale typically range between $1500 and $4500AUD.

How can I take good care of my Shih Tzu?

Nutrition

A Shih Tzu will do well on high-quality dog food. The recommended daily amount is ½ to 1 cup of dry food daily. Treats can be given during training but moderately. Clean water should be made available at all times.

Some dogs are prone to obesity, so it is suggested that you watch your Shih Tzu’s calorie consumption and weight. If you must, consult with your vet about your canine’s diet.

Grooming

Keeping your dog’s coat clean and tangle-free requires daily brushing and once-a-week bathing. If you wish to keep your Shih Tzu’s coat short, it is recommended to make appointments with a professional groomer every six to eight weeks.

Exercise

Shih Tzus are not extremely active dogs, so they require minimal exercise per day. A short walk in the backyard or a few minutes of playtime indoors is enough. Other activities they will enjoy include hide-and-seek, ball chasing, and tug of war.

Training

This dog can be difficult to housebreak, so crate training is advised. Do not allow your Shih Tzu to roam around your home unsupervised until it is completely trained.

When training your canine, use a method that is based on praise and rewards. Try your best not to use harsh words. Also, be firm but calm when it is misbehaving.

If you choose to enrol your dog in puppy class, it is recommended that you make sure the training methods being used are based on positive reinforcement.

This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Shih Tzu Questions

The Shih Tzu is sometimes called the “chrysanthemum dog” because its facial hair looks like flower petals. It has an undershot jaw, which is another unique characteristic.

This dog’s coat is long and silky. It comes in 14 different colours and three different markings. Most have a little white spot on their forehead which is called the “Star of Buddha.”

No, it does not. This dog is a low-shedder and is even considered hypoallergenic, making it a suitable pet for allergy sufferers.

If you are considering bringing a Shih Tzu into your home, it is recommended that you adopt from a responsible breeder. This way, you can be sure that the dog you get is healthy and happy. Shih Tzu puppies for sale typically cost between AUD $3,000 and $6,000.
