All About the Shih Tzu Dog Breed

Blog Introduction: The Shih Tzu is a small dog breed with a long history. She dates back to ancient China. Bred as a companion animal, the Shih Tzu is well-known for its lively and affectionate personality. Here is everything you need to know about the Shih Tzu dog breed!

History of the Shih Tzu Dog Breed

The Shih Tzu’s origins can be traced back to ancient China, where they were bred as companion animals for Chinese royals. Eventually, the breed made its way to Tibet, and from there, they were introduced to Europe in the 1930s. The first Shih Tzus arrived in America in the 1950s and has been a popular pet ever since!

Physical Characteristics of Shi Tzu Dogs

Shih Tzus are small dogs, typically weighing between 9 and 16 pounds. They have distinctively round faces with large, dark eyes. Their long and silky coat comes in various colors, including black, white, brown, and gold. Although they are classified as toy dogs, Shih Tzus are relatively sturdy and muscular for their size.

Shih Tzu Temperament

Shih Tzus are known for their lively and affectionate personalities. They are also intelligent dogs who are easy to train. However, their small size can be easily injured if not handled carefully.

Shih Tzus are not well suited for households with young children. But a Shih Tzu might be a perfect choice if you’re looking for a loving and loyal companion dog!

Conclusion: If you’re considering adding a new furry friend to your family, you might want to consider a Shih Tzu! These small but mighty dogs are full of personality and make great companions. Just be sure to handle them carefully, as their small size makes them susceptible to injury.

Do you think a Shih Tzu would fit your household well? Then check out the rescues and shelters below for possible Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu Mixed breed puppies and adult dogs to adopt.

Contact the Rescues and Animal Shelters below directly for information on adoption and costs.

Find Shih Tzu Dogs for Adoption under $200, $300, $400, $500, and up.
