- Before adopting a Shih Tzu dog, you must have done some research depending on your family’s living style and place. In case you are searching for a small pup to make up for the space in your home, the name ‘Shih Tzu’ must have popped up on your screen. This dog is considered to be among the expensive dog breeds. But what you must be concerned about is how adaptable the dog is with families.

I’m a shih Tzu owner and they are not as difficult as described here. As any other breed they have there own needs. Small breed with small stomach. Healthy food and healthy snacks are best, my dog doesn’t shed,. To help with the anxiety, we got a second dog. They keep each other company. They are indoor dogs. Keep grooming and vet visits. My dog loves children and loves playing. They sleep with us and we’re trained for daily routines with consistency and they act independently with their daily routine. As long as you keep in mind that they require care just like any other living thing, they will be with you from 15 to 17 years.
thank your comment , I am a multiple owner I would never have an other breed
I had a baby girl her name was Chelsea the best dog I ever had, she was like a baby. I got her when she was 4 months old and had to put her a sleep when she was sixteen. I miss her every day, she was with me all the time. They are the best I'm looking for another one. Just can't find one like her yet. Never had a problem with her was clean and asked out even in the middle of the night.
@@drte55 we lost our Louie after 15 years. He was a rescue that got to us at 1 yr old. It took us a while to find another blondie like Louie but we finally found Frankie. Got him at 4 months old and with training and consistency he was trained by six months old. We got him a brother, four months old Maltese/ Shih Tzu mix and he’s on training now . They are a loyal breed, lovable and extremely smart. I become a little defensive when I see posts like this. Just like any other breed, you need to care and be diligent of their needs. I hope you can find another baby soon.
@@drte55 I am sorry for your loss ,now is the time there are so many homeless ShihTZUs , you never going to replace the one you lost , out of my 11 SHIH TZUs nobody had the same nature , they were all cute and funny, but it is really worth it to save one or may I say 2 this way they do not have separation anxiety
@@drte55 ADOPT , if you can2 ,so they keep each other company, so many unwanted babies shelters , they will know they weren't saved, sorry for your loss, good luck
I have had six over 26 years. They are the best dogs!!! They are not difficult. You just have to understand them. They are very humanlike. You cannot yell at them and never break their heart. Learn to groom them yourself and start early. They are fun and the sweetest dogs. Ten minute walks three times a day for adults. They don’t do heat well. And one of mine ( I now have 2) is cold natured. But all of mine have lived 14-15 years. My dogs have never been aggressive ever.
Best dogs ever... these points are not entirely true at all
I never met and aggressive shih tzu. Most of the time they never met a stranger. I love shih tzu.
You’re a liar😡 do you even have one? 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Hi. How are you. Yes, I agree. They are humanize alright. I have had 3 Shih Tzu's over the years & would do it all over again. They're the absolute best ever. I miss them a lot. What I've found is that having pets actually changes you to into a better human being. I definitely encourage anyone to get a dog, Shih Tzu's for me of course, & 😮certainly adopt & clear the shelters. Save a furbabys life. Thanks.
Our Mocha lived to be 17 years old and she was the BEST SHIHTZU EVER. The happiest and sweetest and funniest dog. Still missing her after 4 years. Everyone should get a shihtzu.
My full breed Shihtzu is a diabetic medical alert service dog. He is 16. He doesn't have a stubborn bone in his body. He is a pleaser. My dog doesn't bark ,only when I tell him to. I taught myself to groom and trim my dog. My dog is the most adaptable dog I ever had. Yes I brush my dog everyday and we both enjoy it. Its called training. This video is wrong! Best dog I ever had.
I lost my shi tsu a year ago to a tumor and I still never forget about him, he was smart, loving, kind, and beautiful I always have and will think that they are the best kind of dog breed there is
Our Shih Tzu is very affectionate. Barks a lot no doubt otherwise she is a hearthrob
I had a Shih Tzu for 1 year. He was the best dog i ever had. Very smart and loving. Love walks and bike rides. Loved the car. We lost his tragically. We are waiting for 2 more. We are getting 2 so we can leave them at home when we have to. He was a little stubborn, but easily trained. He was potty pad trained when I got him. The sweetest dogs ever
Several of the reasons listed here are common in most dogs (some humans too), not just shih tzus. But I would rather have a shih tzu that have hair which I have to comb, than a dog that has fur which sheds everywhere, everyday. It's really a matter of personal preference. It's better to pick a dog you have a connection with than just nitpick at the traits. Cause dogs can adapt and change to meet the lifestyle and love of their human. :)
I don't agree with the things in this video. I had two shihtzus, in different times of my life, and they didn't have anxiety separation, and they always had a very good health until they became very old. They had an excellent and joyful temperament. Still love them❤❤
I have had 2 Shih Tzu's in the past and they are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL DOGS. When I had to make the decision it was time for their best to have them go to
" Doggie Heaven ", was like loosing one of your children.
I am 76 and bought my 3rd one from a wonderful breeder 13 months ago. I picked her up when she was 10 weeks old.
During the 2 1/2 hr drive bringing her to her new home there was a bond starting. They are a tremendous person companion dog. You need to know the traits of the breed, and they are not difficult.
I am planning to get another Shih Tzu baby in the near future, so my Dasie has dog companion. This will give me double the love ❤️ from these wonderful fur babies.
My opinion is, Shih Tzu is one of the best small dogs you can have for a " SMART LOVING COMPANION ".
I don't agree with this negative video at all, you just need to learn and understand their traits.
If you don't want to learn about the ways to understand any dog breed, " then you should not own a dog ".
Had two shih tzus and did not have ANY major problems with them. One lived to be 18; the other 14. They ate anything, loved to walk, were never overweight, never anxious ( well one hated thunder), loved to exercise, played with toys well, were obedient, did not bark excessively. They did require grooming, but they were wonderful pets.
I own a shih tzu. I adopted her from a rescue group almost 8 years, and she has been a dream. I'm not a fan of this post. Please don't let this misinformed opinion detour anyone from adopting a Shih Tzu. They are such loving dogs.
I have had three shih tzu pups and wouldn't have any other. Their stubbornness is easily overcome as play and they are absolutely loveable. My thirds kne saved my life
I had a stroke when she was 20, she was outside, but managed to get some attention until.shw got help. I wasn't breathing. Had it not been for her, I would not be here.
My shih tzu Christopher at about 3 years old saved my life. I had built a patio that day and took an extra arthritis pill to get me through because I always like to finish things. I went to the restroom around 10 30 before going to bed, I got up and passed out on the tile floor in a puddle of blood it looked like a crime scene. He was licking me in the face to wake me up! I had to crawl to the phone for 911. We just took off in the ambulance and the guy told the driver you better pull over I can't get a pulse! I was in ICU for a week getting 12 blood transfusions. My mom and her friend came up and said I was blue and didn't think I would make it. I've had about 8 shih tzus and on my last one I think. She's 18 blind and deaf and still sniffs for me. I love all animals like Betty White, and Doris Day. They give you life. Stay healthy and God Bless
I'm a shih tzu owner and my Shiloh is the most wonderful fur baby ever .....every breed has its way of being just like humans... so don't say to never get a shih tzu. You have no idea how wonderful they are . I've had several different breeds of dogs including 3 pit bulls . Every doggie is wonderful as long as you love them and care for them, we as humans will never love so unconditionally as a doggie will . We can learn a lot from these precious creatures all of them
Shitzu’s are my favorite breed. They are the clowns of the dog world, very intelligent and loving. I have not experienced many of the so called problems you allude to. I am the alpha dog and my Shitzu knows it, no monkey business. I groom my own dogs and they are easy to keep bathed and groomed every 7 to 8 weeks. Love, love, love this breed. This is my third Shitzu in 78 years.
Love seeing all the comments. We have a shih tzu as well and have had others before. They really are the best dogs. I find them to be really smart and easy to train and not very big barkers at all. They do have smaller bladders so should be pad trained as well if you need to leave them alone for longer periods. My girl now will let me know she needs to go out if I haven’t brought her out before she needed to go. They def require more grooming but are happy with just playing ball in the house for exercise.
We have had multiple Shih Tzu’s, our most recent passed right before her 16th birthday. They were all well mannered and trained. Never had any issues and most on this video were very generic that applies to most dog breeds. This video needs to learn more about Shih Tzu’s. Like with any breed, they just need the right kind of love, understanding, patience and care. They have such great personalities, super smart, truly are part of the family and fill your hearts so much! 🫶🫶
I absolutely love my Tzu. She is adorable, smart, and a great companion..She loves everyone. My husband did not care for dogs. We have had several dogs and he never showed any kind of love....until he met SusieQ. After a few licks when she was a puppy dugged at his heart. SusieQ shares her love between my husband and me. When he is laying down on the soda or bed, she wants up and when she is up on the bed or sofa, she goes over and kisses him. This man is too negative. The only time i see hair...not fur...is when i groom her. She does not shead. Like all young dogs, up to 2 years old, they want to play and run. She is now 5 years old and if you are sitting in a chair, she wants to get up and be with you. She IS a lap dog. Some do put on weight but that is because they lay around or be in your lap. When she passes, I will by another Shih Tzus. My daughter has a Tzu as well and has the same traits.
I have 2 shitzus. I wouldn't swap them for the world. Best dogs l've ever had. Beautiful little dogs. They're my family. I love them.😂
Mine was easy to train and is a living little girl. Highly recommend this breed if you want a pet to love
This video doesnt not describe my baby at all, my Shih Tzu is and inpdependant guy. He's not the most affection and has a very leave me alone vibe but that makes me love him because he's just himself. I feel like Shih Tzu owners i know have agreed that their dog is very spicy and self efficient. Amazing dogs!
Completely wrong information! They're amazing
I have had five shih tzus at one time. I now have another shih tzu and love them all and wouldn’t change it for the world.
I have my shih tzu and he's the most amazing dog ever, he's had maybe 2 accidents in my house and he's 8 years old, he's soòoo smart , he will sit and watch TV for 20 minutes, he barks at the dogs on TV, he's the smartest Dog I've ever known, I would definitely get another one and another one, they love so deeply
My was potty trained in 4 days,knows the name of all of toys.
Most valued member of the family.
I've had a few shih Tzu's and they have so much character, absolutely beautiful dogs
Shih tzus are the BEST!!❤❤
I never had a shih tzu but I'm seriously thinking about getting one. I love shelties and I have had them throughout my life. I lost my sweet Harley two months ago and I'm thinking that I might get a shih tzu this time. I read that shih tzus can be a one person dog but from anyone who I know that's had them says otherwise. I just don't want a nippy dog because I have grandkids and my husband and I like to take our fur kids on trips. I'm guessing if they are well socialized, they do well?
I came up to a horrific accident once years ago. I had to park my car in a lady's driveway because my road was blocked. She welcomed me to sit on her front porch with her and her little shih tzu cuddled up in my lap and calmed me down. He was the absolute sweetest little dog I ever met. His mom told him not to bother me and he gave her the cutest "I'm taking care of my new friend!" look. 😄
This article is wrong.
Shih tzu are the best indoor dogs.
They are very loving and attached to human.
My shih tzu strongly disagrees with the title of this video 🐶😤
I had a ShihTzu for over 18 years. My favorite breed, never had these problems with my ShihTzu. She was a sweetheart.
This person sounds very ignorant I have a shih tzu and these are not very accurate
I have a shih tzus puppy who is now 6mths old. He is the light of my life and I am number 1 in his. We bonded quickly after I brought him home at 8 weeks old. He does have anxiety when I go out because my husband tells me so. We have a nice crate that is a piece of furniture and he has room and a soft bed. That is his safe place and he willingly goes in when we go out and have to leave him behind. What a reunion when we get home. We limit our time out...and the longest we have left him is 3.5 hours. He is the sweetest and funniest boy and I am so grateful to have him....we have had a maltese and a bichon poo and loved them just as much...We got our Noah who was (a mixed breed of maltese and shih tzu) just four days after the death of our bichon on July 28th. There nothing like the love of a dog and if you bring them up right the breed is loving, playful, and faithful.
Im a Shih Tzu owner, and I totally treat my Shih Tzu as my child! They are quite handful and so hard to potty train! But I still love her! She's our little bundle of joy 💖
They might be a little high maintenance with grooming but I think all dogs should be eating high quality food to avoid allergies and other health problems. My shih tzu likes to bark when he wants attention but it's not excessive. Get a stroller for longer walks 😊. Mine barely sheds. I think I shed more than him 😂
I have 2 shih tzu and they have their own personality. Kash is more vocal when he don't know you and will back up from you if he don't like what he smell on you. While Zeus will give you more of a chance and will welcome you then he will either except you or move away from you. They both love meeting people but have different ways of doing it. Kids and older people is what they really love. I'm a truck driver and them going to the potty never been a problem. They was not hard to train and they don't like pooping where they eat, play or sleep. They love hugs and kisses. One more then the other. Having a back yard to run in make their day. Even if I don't have a back yard, I would bring them to a ball park and let them run and enjoy their life. I really wish I had a back yard because they deserve one. I see so much joy in them when they can just run free with no worries. My love for them and their love for me is unconditional love that you will never get from any human!!!❤❤❤. Some people don't understand the bond that we have and they never will. I love my babies.. The person whom made that video is sadly inform. Shih Tzu are the best babies you can ever have. They show you love every time they see you..❤❤
I had my sweet heart shihtzu for 15 years and it was adorable ,excellent behavior , best friend and company ,went with him everywhere, even international ,I can not change my mind , I will get two more soon I can love them so much , I don't agree with this video
I have shih tzu since he was 2 months, now he is 2 years. We love him so much, he is good & clever doq 👍
Have had Shih Tzu's for over 25 years, have yet to find most of those reasons quoted. Being incredibly affectionate, their stubbornness is just endearing. Half of this man's sermon is, I'm my humble opinion, rubbish. Never had lovelier dogs and companions. Understand them and take one, they're simply wonderful.
I have had 2 shih tzu and never encountered any problems with them. They were loving little dogs always ready to please
*I owned a male Shih Tzu for thirteen years (he had to be put down a few years ago because of his mounting chronic health problems). I don't know why people are dunking on this guy, he's right on the dot when pointing out the issues of the breed. Shih Tzu's are very high maintenance dogs. Expect to drop a lot of money on grooming and visits to the vet.*
*My Shih Tzu's left eye literally exploded (I'm not even joking) when he was about six-years-old because for years he would rub his whole face (including his eyes) into the carpet. The result of putting all that pressure on his eye weakened it to the point where the eye jelly and other fluids burst through eye wall. His left eye had to be surgically removed.*
*Later, I discovered the reason why he was rubbing his face into the carpet all the time. Shih Tzu's, like all short muzzle breeds, are constantly discharging fluid from their tear ducts. My dog's face was more or less constantly wet, and so his face developed a chronic skin infection. To treat it, the vet had to shave off all the the fur on his face. It was bad. His entire face underneath his eyes and across the bridge of his muzzle was red and swollen (for those of you who don't know, Shih Tzu are like bulldogs and pugs with long fur: their faces are covered in deep skin folds which are perfect for bacteria to grow in if they are constantly wet as my dog's were).*
*The vet was able to treat the infection with steroids and antibiotics. To keep this from happening again, I had the vet surgically remove the skin folds on my Shih Tzu's face, and also had him tighten his eyelid so that his remaining eye wouldn't bulge out so far from his face. This solved the bacteria problem, the wet face problem, and the face rubbing problem all in one stroke.*
*One thing I'd like to add that this video does not mention is that Shih Tzu's do not like other dogs. They're like that jealous girlfriend who doesn't want you hanging out with your friends. Shih Tzu want their human(s) all to themselves. They do not want to cohabitate with other dogs, they do not want to share your attention and affection with other dogs.*
*Having said all of that, Waggleton P. Tallylicker was still the best dog I have ever had, hands down. I would not trade all the good memories we had together for anything, least of all the money I spent on him.*
PS: Waggleton P. Tallylicker was not his real name, but I'm not going to dox my dog on the internet. I respect his privacy, even in death.
I am an owner of one and she was very easy to potty train and she is the most loyal dog I have ever owned! No matter the bread all dogs are different with different personalities. Like people...... never judge a book by it''s cover!
Shihtzu are a wonderful breed. They can over heat and do require frequent brushing. Mine have all been easy to paper train and go to the potty outdoors as well. Therefore if it's raining or bad weather they use the pee pad. They do love companionship. I have had three Shihtzu and two Shihtzu mix. Great dogs, all of them.
I have 2 shih tzus now and 1 when I was younger! They are the best babies I could ever have! My oldest which is 11 has been with me through all of life’s hardest moments. She’s my bestfriend! I love shih tzus and I’d encourage anyone to have one!
We have a Shih Tzu 11 yrs old. No shedding. Never goes in house. Is trained to go outside. He lets us know when he needs water ( if it’s outside & we don’t realize it, when he wants to go outside) great dogs to have. I never watched this video.
My baby isn’t like this at all nor was my grand pup like this at all. I don’t listen to what ppl say about dogs because it’s all about the owner & how that dog is raised. Yes they have attitudes, they are verbal, they do suffere from separation of the owner but they are loving, fun, friendly. My baby gets alone well with other dogs especially the one that they grew up with. Thank God my baby is 9 & has had no health issues & im thankful for that. My grand pup lived to be 19 though she was blind & deaf in one ear. I miss her so much. My Prynceton is checked at the doctor often & he eats good. I watch his weight & I haven’t had any issues with him eating because he does eat the best. They are great dogs so to each its own! I love my Prynceton he’s my baby boy, my family member, my heart & I wouldn’t change him for anything.
4 shih tzu’s over 35 years and I don’t agree with anything you say in this video. All my babies have been healthy and well behaved from day one. My oldest lived for 14 years. I have a 4 year old now and picking up another in 2 weeks when she is 8 weeks old. All well trained/ behaved and I can take them anywhere without concern they will misbehave. Of course they need grooming just as you need to wash your face and brush your hair. You make them sound like a nightmare to own and it the total opposite. They are loving, loyal companions and great family pets.
I’m thinking about getting one and this video scares you to death! My God
@@tooblessed573 nothing to be scared of. They are a beautiful breed and the most loving of companions. We have now got our puppy so have 2 Gus and Bella. I wouldn’t be without them.
@@julianamcnaught1852 Thank you for the encouragement! 🤎
Just got one! I lost mine at age 16.5. She was the sweetest baby. I'll miss her for the rest of my life 😢
My Shih Tzu":
1. Nope
2 Nope, but first dog with a reverse sneeze. Trachea gets irritated.
3.Not sure, got him at 3 months.
4.He was trained that he ate what was given to him. Just leave it in the bowl. When they're hungry enough, they'll eat.
5.They are strong willed and stubborn at times, but sweetly so. This can be overcome. Good treats help training.
6. True if you don't have them cut short. But easy to do. Takes 5 minutes.
7. True. Use artificial tear drops. Use during grooming before bedtime.
8. True, but my boy lets me know when he's too hot. Finds a shady spot, flattens his belly out, and moves to a cool spot. I wait until he's ready to go.
9.Not at all. But he's a barker.
10. Yes, but he is not anxious. I've met some that are.
11. They shed like humans. You don't see the hair. Brushing every day helps. And get a Roomba.
12. They do need daily walks. Ours would run laps around the sectional at night if he did not get enough exercise.
I have a shih tzu rescue. He is 10 years old. He is a wonderful dog! Not at all like the article described. He rarely barks! He was not potty trained very well from his previous owner, but I managed to get him trained. He's very good about going potty outside. You have to show these dogs that they are loved and part of the family. I take him to a groomer every 6 weeks, so his coat is never too long and she trims around his eyes. He's a wonderful pet. Loves kids and all people. So gentle!
I LOVE MY SHIHTZU! ❤️ He was very easy to train and also a very loving dog.
After 16 years with my J, he was going down hill. His quality of life became to decline. He couldn't see, hear, and struggled to get around. I was sad to put him down. He is in no more pain, although I am.
We have a month old puppy and she is the smartest, easy going and quiet thing I've ever seen
He described my Mugsy's personality to a "T" We lost him 8 days ago. We had 15 wondferful years togher and I held him in my arms. I had just spoke with our vet regardiing his bloodwork and he had kidney issues. I loved my baby boy and miss him so.
I disagree with everything in this video, except that they do take a lot of grooming. Our Shih Tzu live to be 16 years old. She died from cancer. she was wonderful with children and anyone else around very easily trained, good companion, good all-around girl.
I have had 4 Shih-tzus and do not totally agree with this video!! The ones I have had do not have many of these traits and do not shed like was mentioned.
I was homeless with a shih tzu for 5 years.
Okay, they may be right about training. But during the time I was homeless I swear this dog was self trained. I didn't need a 😊on $500 a month. From being absolutely destitute, we are going to give you
My shitzu is 15 years and he is the love of my life..
I'm a shih tzu owner. I have found any of these comments made here.
You don’t know what you are talking about.Best dog I ever had. Stop giving them a bad name.
I’m about to adopt a shih tsu but after watching this I almost changed my mind. Thankfully I decided to read the comments. Also, the person in this video sounds like a robot.
mine is the bestest!!!! he's wonderful loving kind and playful. Never pees at home. don't have to brush everyday, I groom my dog. They do not shed, what the what??
My shih Tzu. Is the best he is such a cutie. Will never have any other bred. Got no problems with him.
This video is hilarious! So exaggerated! He could be comically describing any puppy.
I have a Shitzu and she’s the best dog we ever had. Training easy. Wants to please.
I’d say a fair assessment….
SHIHTZU definitely do NOT like heat so, not a beach dog for the summer.
No long walks although they love to play and will let you know when they’ve had enough.
Shihtzu is a high demanding groom dog. Eyes, ears and privates must be attended to regularly, there’s no way around it.
Shihtzu is one of only a couple of dogs that were truly bred for companionship.
Generally quiet until provoked.
A good sturdy little dog and smarter than a 5th grader!
My shih tzu is the sweetest most wonderful dog I’ve ever had. They are so empathic and caring. If you aren’t interested in treating them like a part of your family - don’t get one. Your loss!
I don't agree to never have shihtzu coz I do have a shihtzu name her Cera she is with me for 13 yrs she is sweet good girl she is well train since puppy she do pee & poop on pee pad of her own she sleep with me too when we go for work she just wait for us she is not hard to be taken care of. As long you socialized, play, bond with them it's not hard to have a shihtzu. Any dog are all the same
if you don't have time and be a responsible furrent then your causing them to be temperamental and bad behavior. That's why everyone must be a responsible owner or furrent. It's not the dog or breed that is a problem it's the owner itself if they don't know how to take care and responsible enough and don't have financial capacity don't get a dog for all dogs are a lifetime commitment.
Whoever created this video knows almost nothing about the breed. They have the best temperament and are loving adorable dogs!
Lol... Yeah, whoever thinks Shih Tzus are a problem, either poorly raised them to be bad, or they bought one from a bad breeder. I've been breeding Teacup sized Shih Tzus for 8 years and regular sized ones the 10 years before that, and the only things i ever hear are how amazing my puppies are, and i know I'm not the only breeder who gets these positive comments. I love the fact that i still get the lovable healthy and wonderful personality of a normal sized Shih Tzu but now in a 3 to 4 lb fur ball. Best dogs in the world!
I've had shih tzu s for over 20 years. I loved them all my life. What a crock!!!!
This is very deceptive. My Gracie is the best behaved dog I have ever owned. She was completely housebroken in 4 days.
I have a Shih Tzu and he is stubborn and even ignores me sometimes if he is mad at me. But I wouldn’t trade him for the world.
Every shih I ever met was on someone's lap.😂😂
They’re not that hard to train !!! They’re very smart dogs!!
We Love our Shih-tzu, Ollie!!💗💗
I adore Shih Tzus. I raised some… and it’s true, some have separation anxiety, so those sweet babies are better for stay at home folks or take them with you. If they have companions they’ll be better. My sweeties were very sweet, friendly, & happy. Train them to be calm & quiet. I had trouble with potty training my doggies. They must be brushed & groomed regularly. Yes, keep them in the a/c if possible… with a doggie door so they can go potty or just go outside in their yard.
Their separation anxiety is calm if you find something upu wouldn't leave likecavpursevor jacket,it calms them.
Shihtzus are amazing
I had shitzu 14 years from a pup till he died . A good friend funny hansom chap with no problems with people or other dogs would have another one without worries
I WILL OWN ONE FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE, BEST PUPS EVER!
Best dogs ever. Video is BS.
I found myself shaking my head "no!!!" during most of yhis video. How wrong can you be?!!! They don't shed ANYTHING near what this so-called expert is touting!! They are very adaptable to a persons lifestyle!! They can be a little difficult with toilet training, but they do want to please yheir person. My szu right now is reveling in being an only dog, they love their owners and want to be with them, and may not want to share their owner.My guy always knows where i am in the house. I believe they are the best dogs ever!!! Dont hesitate to adopt them. I got my boy at age 10, and he has adapted beautifully!! He is 14 now, and i love him ao much!! Such wonderful dogs!!!
Where in the heck do you get your info from,all dogs have some kind of medical issues,but as far all this other crp I adopted a 7 yr old female from a shelter she is the most loving animal I have ever owned,she doesnt meet a stranger,she loves kids,she loves to walk,she was easy to potty train she is very easy going she is not a picky eater she is healthy so please if you don't like this breed of dog keep your opinion to yourself thank you
I also disagree I have had two both easily trained and sweet one til 16 this one 14 no problem with anxiety or stressed doesn’t bark only when a foreign noise never see hair one loved to dive in the pol swim and play only issue with this one is dry eye recommend grooming and tight around eyes so hair doesn’t effect eyes friendly happy dogs 😊
This is not a good or accurate video. I have had 4 of them, and this video is so off-track!
I have a shihtzu and it's not difficult to train.
I have 2 shih-tzu's and they are my babies. Not difficult at all. People do not need to post half assed opinions 😮
How did u give birth to them? They ain't humans, don't call them babies that's disgusting.
I have had two and these are the happiest animals and very loyal. I took my second to a few training classes. Most for me! We get a puppy cut therefore much easier to care for. And they do overheat so short hair makes more sense. There simply couldn’t be a sweeter happier dog. You can’t believe everything you see in a video
Thank you so much for your comment. I’m sitting here like did I make the wrong choice in getting a Shih Tzu? My pup is coming next week he’ll be 9 weeks old. I’m a 1st time dog mom here and I welcome all the tips, tricks and information. Reading your comment made me feel a whole lot better. Again thank you!!!!
Please read the comment from shihtzu owners -all disagree with this video.

My family and I got a Shih Tzu pup not long ago…she is 9 months old now. She is the best thing to come into our lives. She is sweet, smart, and fierce…she takes no crap from our Rottie mix, even if he is 80 lbs to her 14😁 Are Shih Tzus the right breed for everyone? No. If you aren’t willing to invest the time (and money) for proper grooming and training, this isn’t the right fit for you. But, if you are, the rewards far outweigh any negatives. Kira is the sweetest girl ever, and everyone she meets agrees.
mine just died 4 months ago leaving my maltese he was 15 years best dog i ever had beside my shepperd and maltese.
The best dog I’ve ever had
I have two Shitzus and they are great dogs
We have had numerous dogs over decades such as King Charles Cavalier Spaniel , Golden Retrievers , Papillon and currently we have a very intelligent , loving and affectionate Shih tzu . He is the best dog we have ever had and think this video is very misleading as could be about most dogs . There are many far more accurate videos out there for refferencing this amazing dog breed .
I dont agree, some information are completly false! Shitzu, pure shitzu, not bark too much, never cries if you are out, doesnt loose hair, you can keep the hair short if you dont want brush. Shitzu love childrens, love people, love meet other dogs. They are difficult to teach, they are not like other dogs, they do what they want to do! But they love you like no other ❤
My dog his name was baba and he was attached to my mom and my sister and he was the best thing in my life he was protective and he died a while ago but he was fun to be with and hard to handle and sometimes
We love our Shih Tzu. Yes, she's a picky eater and her long hair can be annoying but that's it.
Shih tzus are so fun 💕
Ty I feel the same way! They exaggerating not true , just certain things are true!
I disagree with a lot of these assertions. We have our second and third Shih Tzu now. They are wonderful dogs, very loving. Not difficult at all. I’ll give the speaker this: our dogs are picky eaters. Also, ours love daily exercise, walks.
