Shih Tzu Forum:
Shih Tzu Group

Hi all! I'm new here but have a Shih Tzu group that has been open for a while now. 87 members from all over the world and we do have our own website. We would love to have some new members join us. We chat about health and grooming issues as well as other things. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Everything_ShihTzu/

I have a shih-tzu and thought it might be fun and also helpful if I join the group. Thanks, Cindy and Chynna Rose.

Hi! Nice to have a forum we can chat on! We have a 13 month old F spayed Shih Tzu. She thinks she\'s a human baby! Yes we have showered her with love and toys and attention. I have taken the lead in training her - and pretty well I think! Three issues at this time - input would be appreciated: What are you feeding your Shih Tzu, how much and how many times per day? Sleep habits: She is only alone for three hours at a time each day as I leave her at 8 a.m. am back before noon, but I am with her for an hour at lunch then back by 4 p.m. She also comes along with us just about everyplace and loves car rides. She gets exercise daily and is very playful and happy. However, if she goes to sleep at 10 pm or 1 pm she is waking us up by 5 a.m. each day. At first we thought it was my husband\'s daily work schedule she got used to but now after all this time she is still waking us up. Weekends included! Any suggestions on how to break her of this routine? Thanks.

I recently bought a Shih Tzu ( male) which I will be collecting on Saturday and I basically need all the help I can get please please?? To be honest I havent had a dog for years but I bought this one for my 2 & half year old grandson who lives with me and myself of course!!! For the moment I work full time but this will change soon as I am finishing up. My main concerns are leaving the puppy all day for the 1st few weeks and of course the toilet training. I intend to hopefully crate train but its the bit before that that has me worried. .i.e leaving the puppy all day and where best to leave it. I have read a few books but the more I read the more worried I get about it. My kitchen & living room are open plan and may be unsuitable to leave a puppy loose but I have a utility and large downstairs w/c. Do you think any of these would be suitable? I would be very grateful for any help you could offer me.
