Shih Tzu Owning Families with small children should always supervise the children when they play with the dog, the Shih Tzu is a sturdy dog but , his size puts him at a disadvantage. The coat requires at least a half an hours grooming per day, which should be a consideration before bringing a Shih Tzu into your home. The Shih Tzu is a true companion. His happy, out-going and affectionate temperament coupled with his friendly and trusting nature make him a great house pet. Characteristics The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy dog with long flowing double coat. Befitting his noble Chinese ancestry as a highly valued, prized companion and palace pet, the Shih Tzu is proud of bearing, has a distinctively arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. Although there has always been considerable size variation, the Shih Tzu must be compact, solid, carrying good weight and substance. Did You Know The Shih Tzu was admitted to registration in the American Kennel Club Stud Book in March 1969. The Shih Tzu is sometimes called the ''chrysanthemum-faced dog'' because the hair grows about the face in all directions.
