Shih Tzu information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

I have two females. I got first one in 2004. she was old and had been very abused and i fell head over heels in love with the breed because of her.When we had to depart with her after four years it was like loosing a child.I got another female two years after my first and another puppy after loosing Pancake. they are very easy to train. be very kind and gentle but stern and lot of praise and they respond very well. use treats they love to eat,but be careful they will get over wt. pretty easy. use low soft voice. if you use loud or to over demanding they will not respond. do not challeng them in game of wills because if you do you have already lost. they love to please their master for nothing more then your love and happiness. I have trained alot of other breeds and the Shih-tzu is one of the easiest.

I take my Shih Tzu\'s to Pet Smart to get groomed also and when I brought them home they were itching right after they had been groomed I wonder if maybe it is the products they use at Pet Smart when they are groomed?

My shih tzu is now 6 months but i have realize that he itches alot at first i thought it was fleas but i had him checked out and that was not it. So i then went to pet smart were he gets his grooming and they suggested itis dry skin so i was recommended to get this oatmel spray it helps but he then to itch again. Can someone give me a suggestion for this matter Cocoa looks so sad when this occurs/ Please

I have a one and a half year old Shih Tzu. She is in her second heat. Is she to young to breed?

how come my 9 month old puppy keeps scratching his ears?

I bought a puppy a few months back that was sold as a shih tzu. As she has matured; the pudgy little thing that she was has become sleek and muscular. Her hair is short over most of her body with the exception of tail and backs of her legs and chest. The face, head and back has straight hair that is short. Is this possible? I was under the impression that all shih tzu had long hair. Have I been had? Or is this little girl unique?

I have a 9 yr. old that has never been bread. Could anyone tell me how to get another good shitzu in my area?

My dog is wonderful, but there is on occasion a man or two that he just doesn't like. I wonder if I should watch him around children. I have just moved to california and i worry he'll bite someone. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my dog. He is so friendly with the family. I love him like I love my children!

Hi! We have this almost 1 yr old male shi tzu and are getting a 7 week female on august 6 and are gonna train her. When she's old enough we are going to breed them and was just wondering if you could give me all the information about the birthing state of her, like what do when she gets pregnant to when she has them. If u could help us it would be soooo much appreciated!!! Thank you.

I have an 11wk shih poo. I was told to feed up to 1/2 a cup a day. Her parents are only 6 and 7 lbs. She acts starving when I feed her twice a day but doesn't when I give her her rawhide or puppy treats. I'm used to large breeds. Is this normal?

I love my 7 month, male Shih Tzu, however, last week we found out he has a genetic birth defect. He is scheduled for a ulnectomy. can anyone tell me if they have experienced this problem and how it was treated????? thank you.

I just brought a 8week old shihtzu and i dont know how many times of day to feed him
