Do shih tzus stick there tongue out and why?

Answer 1

Yes, they do.
My male pure bred 2 year old shih tzu sticks his tongue out (it makes him look like he's smiling).
They do this because they are either:
- tired
- need water
- excited

Answer 2

They are so small, they can't defend themselves easily against bigger dogs, so they have sharp teeth to defend themselves.

Answer 3

Shih Tzus do snort, mostly when they are playing or trying to smell something. My Shih Tzu does it all the time, I think it's cute :) Best breed ever <3

Answer 4

Because they smell with their tongues and it helps them to navigate

Answer 5

to cool down
