The Shih Tzu breed was developed in Tibet and named from the Chinese word for lion. Favorites of the Chinese royals, the Shih Tzu was so prized that the Chinese refused to sell, trade, or give any away, and were not introduced to Europe until 1930.
The Shih Tzu is a true family dog that interacts well with other dogs or animals, and their passive personality makes them a good companion for children.
Shih Tzus have a long silky coat, which typically reaches the floor, making daily brushing a must to avoid tangle. Their coats grow quickly, which means regular grooming appointments are important to their breed.
Shih Tzus have several hereditary health conditions which can include breathing problems, eye issues, intervertebral disk disease, hypothyroidism, and epilepsy.
The Shih Tzu has a very specific diet, which requires meals containing 50% high-quality protein, and foods that contain the right balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
