The name “Shih Tzu” means little lion, but there’s nothing fierce about this dog breed. This pooch is a lover, not a hunter.
Bred solely to be companions, Shih Tzus are affectionate, happy, outgoing house dogs who love nothing more than to follow their people from room to room. Since ancient times, they’ve made themselves comfortable on the laps of people from all walks of life, even emperors!
They have a loving personality and will make a great family pet for anyone’s home. They are charming, goofy and have a happy-go-lucky temperament.
Easy grooming and low shedding for these pups and will get to be around 10 to 90 pounds depending on the size of the poodle parent which could be toy, miniature or standard.
