The Shih-Tzu is a small, sturdy dog, with a body that is slightly longer than it is tall. The head is
round and broad, wide between the eyes. The square muzzle is short, an inch or less from the tip
of the nose to the defined stop. The nose is broad, with well open nostrils. The Shih-Tzu is an
alert, lively, little dog. Happy and hardy, packed with character. The gentle loyal Shih-Tzu
makes friends easily and responds well to consistent patient
watch dog. Their height can be up to 11 inches and their weight is 9-16 lbs. Prone to slipped
stifle and spinal disc disease caused by a long back and short legs. Also ear infections, eye
problems and early tooth loss. The Shih Tzu is good for apartment life. They are fairly active
indoors and will do okay without a yard. This breed is sensitive to the heat. Their life expectancy
is about 15 years or more. In my opinion they are yappy dogs that bark a lot and they are very
playful when they are in the mood to play. The picture that is attached is a picture of Ashley
Pawelczak’s dog. When I go over to her house he likes to jump on my lap and lay there until I
leave.
Cute!
