Best Answer

Normally around 10-15 lbs and about 11 in. from the base of the neck to the base of it's tail.

For reference, about the size of a 6 month old child.*


*It is not recommended that you have, adopt, steal, or otherwise obtain a baby, just to know how big a full grown shi tzu will become. Babies take approximately 9 months to create, plus the six months for it to reach a shih tzu size.

I own a full blooded male shih tzu who is between 18 and 19 lbs when I take him to the vet. Also he is about 13 inches tall at the shoulder. When I purchased him I was told shih tzus will grow to be between 8-12 lbs. He is the biggest shih tzu I have ever seen, but he's still my baby :)

A miniature Shih Tzu weighs about 6-10 pounds as an adult while on a normal diet. I recommend this breed to anyone.

You cannot breed any dog with a Shih Tzu, it's the same for all small dogs.
