Shih Tzus

It depends on its weight.

If its fat use Purina OM (overweight management), or if it is pretty normal you could just give it regular dog food. I usually feed it about 1/3 cup three times a day.

Put her on a good quality Puppy dry dog food. She needs calories now as she is producing milk. Feed her at least twice a day. Don't feed some generic cheap food.

Yes, they do. I dog-sit for my grandmother's shih tzu or she dog sits my Yorkie from time to time. They get along great!

probably infection, this should be looked at by a vet a.s.a.p.

Shih Tzus cost around $200-300. Honestly, I would recommend this breed to anyone, Good luck!

all though it would be funny to have a bullsh*t. i wouldn't recommend trying that

about one hour to help her feel clean and give her a nice warm bath that also helps her not swell to much but make sure that when you going to give her a bath she sees her puppies

they vary depending on percentage as well as the parents colouring etc. Mine looks more like a cocker spaniel but smaller in size

Those small black spots are normal, so don't worry! However, if these are lumpy then call up your vet to make an appointment.

A Shih-Tzu will be in heat if they lack of water. For example, when you are walking your Shih-Tzu you need to bring a bottle if water for your dog. Sink water preferable. You can also tell if your Shih-Tzu is in heat by seeing if he or she is sticking its tongue out. Running and playing can lead to heat and giving the dog water after she or he plays is preferable.

Why wouldn't they be able to? My shih tzus sleep fine in the dark.

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.

I have 2 shi-chis and one is about 11lbs and one is about 13. They are full grown!

Fifteen years is about the average for a healthy dog.

Shih tzus come in many colors and all are acceptable by standard and none are deemed rare. Liver colored are a little more rare though. It's better by standard to have white showing on the top of the head and tip of the tail, but that is only for show dogs and they are still accepted without those marks. Also, chocolate is not listed as an official color yet. It should show "liver" on the papers, and it's nose has to be brown also to fit that color. Hopefully, they will change this soon as more people are looking for "chocolate" than "liver" and the description of chocolate is much more accurate than liver.

I have a 7 month old shih poo puppy, she is all black and has a lovely personality but as with every breed there can be different temperament with every dog but over all the breed is so caring and considerate.

1. it takes at least two months for a shih tzu to have puppies.
2. bigger shih tzus it takes THREE to FOUR months to have puppies

small ones can weigh 10 pounds large ones can weigh 17pounds

It is adviced not to breed pitbulls with other dogs since pitbulls have a stable temperament and mixing it with other breeds can jeopardize this and produce dangerous and vicious dogs. Pit bulls are mostly kind dogs unless their owners are not because the main trait a pitbull has is that it will do anything his owner asks him to.

Female dogs go through a heat cycle, called estrus, every six months. She will have proestrus, or a bleeding cycle, before her true heat cycle during which she is very receptive to the advances of male dogs. This heat cycle lasts for several days up to three or four weeks. Some female dogs will undergo personality changes during this time, the most common changes being anxiety and irritability.

no you should not because that is what protects them from the sun.

its basically their suncream!
