Known for their gorgeous flowing coats and charming personalities, these small yet sturdy dogs are wonderful for families and singles alike. Shih Tzus are affectionate lap dogs with a playful streak and a gentle temperament, making them great with children and other pets. Their minimal exercise needs and adaptability to apartment living also make them ideal for urban lifestyles. If you’re looking for a loving, friendly, and easy-to-care-for pet, the Shih Tzu is a fantastic choice! Some Specs about Shih Tzu Bread Size: Shih Tzus typically weigh 9–16 lbs and stand 8–11 in tall at the shoulder. They are longer than they are tall, with short legs and a short muzzle. Head: Shih Tzus have round heads with large, expressive eyes, a short, upturned nose, and a prominent underbite. The Chinese have described their head shapes as "owl head" and "lion head", and their mouth as "frog mouths". Face: Shih Tzus have facial hair that grows in all directions from their muzzle, like a chrysanthemum flower petal, earning them the nickname "chrysanthemum-faced". Ears: Shih Tzus have floppy ears covered with long fur. Tail: Shih Tzus have a heavily fur-covered tail that curls over their back, giving them a regal appearance. Coat: Shih Tzus have a long, silky, double coat that can come in a variety of colors. Their coat falls over their eyes and forms a beard and whiskers on their face. Shih Tzus require a lot of grooming and their coat should be brushed at least every 2–3 days to prevent tangling and matting.
