A breed of considerable antiquity, the Shih Tzu traces its roots to small dogs kept by the Chinese Royal Court. These dogs were highly coveted by the emperor, who had his favorites memorialized in paintings and tapestries. Today they are very popular house pets, known for their beautiful flowing coats and gentle demeanor.

The Shih Tzu makes an ideal apartment pet being small, quiet and needing only moderate exercise. The coat should be brushed weekly to keep it in good condition. The hair on top of the head is usually pulled back with a rubber band or clip to keep it out of the dog's eyes.

Intelligent and affable, they take well to training. They are docile enough to be trusted with gentle children, and get along well with other animals. Shih Tzus will make friends with everyone they meet, with their outgoing and friendly personalities they know no strangers.
