The problem with crossing two dog breeds, is there's no way to predict which traits the puppies will inherit from their parents. Therefore the puppy may have a coat like its poodle parent, or shed like the other parent, or have something in between.
There is no such thing as a dog that does not shed at all. Some breeds shed more than others.
A Shih Tzu /Jack Russell is not a breed. It's a mixed breed, or mongrel. Shih Tzu's shed very little, and Jack Russell's do shed, particularly when the seasons change. It's impossible to guess how much a mixed breed will shed. To control the amount of hair that is shed, daily brushing will remove hair before it falls off the dog.
The Jack Russell is a smaller version of a Fox terrrier. A Fox terrier is derived from a wolf. I belive they just kept breeding small-legged Fox terriers until they got the Jack Russell terrier.
Shih tzus do NOT shed.
I've just got a jack russell shih tzu cross puppy. He's called a jack tzu.
Yes. The only types of dogs that do not shed are ones that have "hair" instead of "fur" such as malteses and shih-tzus. The only other type of breed that does not shed are poodles and poodle mixes.
Jack Russell terrier we have one and they love each other!!
All dogs shed fur. Some dogs shed a lot and some not as much. It depends on the breed. But, Maltese/Shih-Tzu mixes don't shed much. You can't tell when they shed though, because their fur is so thin that it seems like nothing.
Unless the Jack Russell was bred with a Golden Retriever then no, it is not physically possible. If your Jack Russell has given birth to Golden Retriever puppies, then clearly, your dogs magic. The only solution.
Jack Russells'. Bodine is a purebred Shih-Tzu. I have a dog identical to him. I'm very sure of this answer.
I have one that is 7" high and 10" long and another that is 9" high and 16" long!
the Shih Tzu does shed especially the female when she is in heat, pregnant or nursing. And they DO mat and they mat a lot! they need to be brushed every day to avoid it
Yes, the cross breed of a shih tzu and a poodle is known as a shih poo.
The Shih Tzu sheds very little hair and is good for allergy suffers.
