Shih Tzus

Her treats

Shih Tzus need loving families and lots of love and attention. They are indoor dogs that need the attention of their owners or at least a companion dog. There have been many stories of this breed dying, usually of lonliness, when their owners go away for long periods. Shih Tzus, like all puppies, are really hyper when they'e young so they will need toys to keep them busy or they'll get into trouble. They are a very stubborn breed of dog with an "I do what I want attitude" so they need to be disciplined firmly. If at all possible, make a schedule. Puppies are similar to humans in that they like routines, so if you set an eating time, play time, and napping time it gives the dog structure and stability. A schedule will also keep them from getting bored and greatly helps with digestion. If you always have food laid out for a dog they'll eat sporadically, and their digestion system will be the same. On a similar note, I've noticed Shih Tzus need familiarity. For example if you want them to kid-friendly, then you must raise them with children. Shih Tzus need exercise like any other dog. One way to exercise them is to go on walks with them. Shih Tzus are small dogs so remember that while sometimes they will have a "big dog" attitude other times they'll be really afraid. Watch them carefully while walking, sometimes if you take them to new places or a place with loud noises the Shih Tzu will act fearful. Like most dogs, they just want to please their owner. The best gift you can give them for your satisfaction is love and compassion for their needs.

Shih tzus can have curly tails, Shiba Inus...

This depends on your personality. If your very active and like to go running or jogging, a golden retriever, shihtzus get tired and have to be carried( I know from expirience.) They're both very loving and loyal. Shihtzus will lay on your lap and sleep FOREVER ;) also they dont shed, but you do need to clean their eyes. GR shed ALOT .

If you need to ask, you shouldn't breed. The only good breeders are responsible breeders who know what they're doing and spend thousands of dollars health checking parents, testing etc. You would be adding to the population of hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs/puppies. Get them fixed.

Short nose breeds tend to get hair that gets into the nostrils which causes them to sneeze. But you maltese X shih tzu could have certain allergies or maybe even the flu.

The royal chinese kingdom is where they were back in ancient times. Today, shih tzus are loved worldwide <3

We had porto systemic surgery done on our Maltipoo in October 2008 at the Oakville Mississauga Hospital in Ontario. The surgery and 3 days of post operation are cost us almost $5,000.

A Shih Tzu is a dog, therefore it depends on eating food containing carbohydrates and other organic material in order to obtain energy. Therefore, it can't be an autotroph, an organism capable of synthesizing its own organic substances from inorganic compounds is an autotroph. Autotrophs produce their own sugars, lipids, and amino acids using carbon dioxide as a source of carbon, and ammonia or nitrates as a source of nitrogen. Organisms that use light for the energy to synthesize organic compounds are called photosynthetic autotrophs Basically, heterotrophs get their energy from food, organic substances. Autotrophs are capable of synthesizing their own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.

They don't have "habitats". They have homes. A typical shih tzu home should a potty for the dog, a food bowl along with a water bowl, toys, and a loving family. It would be nice if you adopted two shih tzus from the same litter because they know each other and will have a companion in their new forever home.

it is seborrea. people with compromised immune systems (people with aids) get it. This sounds like Molluscum Contagiosum.

If you're looking for a breed of dog that is friendly, lives approximately 15 years, is good with children, and likes physical contact, the Shih Tzu is the perfect dog for you. They are also attractive with long hair that you can either brush or cut short, giving you a lot of options on how to personalize your dog.

The dog is possibly marking it's scent on the floor.

Shih-Tzus only come in one size. They do grow as they get older. Once they are about 1 year old, they are quiet tall and long. For example, when a one year old Shih-Tzu jump on you, it might reach your hips! Also, when you look down at your Shih-Tzu he or she might look like they have a long body as well. These dogs don't grow very big. They can reach a size medium.

I bought mine from a private seller for $100 but was able to talk them down to a 2 for 1 deal.

Got two brothers for a total of $100. I convinced them into a deal by saying I didn't want one unless he had a companion to play with while I was at work.

Neither the Pekingese nor Shih Tzu are hypoallergenic.
