Not everyone is interested in having a Labrador, Beagle or a Puggle as a pet. In fact some people are much more interested in having Chihuahuas, Terriers, Poodles and adorable Shih Tzu’s as their pets. The breed mentioned at the last is one that is suited to almost all the people, and it cannot be denied that it has a lot of value among future dog owners.
Of course not everyone looking for a puppy starts off with a Shih Tzu puppy in mind, but when fate crosses this adorable puppy across their paths, it seems to be more than they can do to resist the inquisitive faces, the short upturned nose with the hair fanning out in all directions and the gentle adoring eyes staring at them with patent mischief.
A Shih Tzu puppy will make an ideal apartment pet as it doesn’t mind being indoors and in fact, can be quite active when indoors as well. Shih Tzu’s can also be quite indolent if they are allowed to be and more often than not you will find it lying around in various comfortable spots around your house.
This is the reason why you should never over feed your Shih Tzu puppy, as it can very easily become fat and lazy. The best thing is to keep your puppy well fed and fully exercised. If you live in an apartment then it is necessary that you take your puppy out for regular walks. However try not to overtire your puppy by going for long distance walks, as Shih Tzu is a small breed of dog and doesn’t require a lot of exercise.
If you have a yard, whether it’s large or small, you might want to think about letting your Shih Tzu puppy outside to run and scamper for a while. A daily walk is still good, but in this case, your Shih Tzu puppy is getting its exercise in small regular bouts through the day.
Another thing about Shih Tzu dogs is that they can be very good watchdogs, as they are quite alert and tend to bark if they encounter something out of the ordinary. They do not normally bark out of turn and this is one of the reasons why you should consider getting a Shih Tzu puppy if you are living in an apartment.
You might want to know that although Shih Tzu’s are quite friendly with children, especially older children, but they can be quite aggressive in certain circumstances (like when its tail is pulled) and might not be a suitable dog to have around young or very young or mischievous kids.
One advantage of having is Shih Tzu is that it is the ideal companion for people with allergies to dog hair. This is because of the fact that Shih Tzus’ shed almost no hair and this quality makes them a good choice for people with allergies.
You might be surprised to know but Shih Tzus’ make very good show dogs. A little bit of grooming can make your very own Shih Tzu a champion show dog.
