They were prized by the Tibetan people for their intelligence, loyalty, and companionship. Shih Tzus were later introduced to China, where they became popular among the Chinese aristocracy. In the 1930s, Shih Tzus were brought to the United States and Europe, where they quickly became a popular breed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Appearance</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Shih Tzus are small dogs, typically standing between 8 and 11 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 9 and 16 pounds. They have a sturdy build and a long, flowing coat. Their coat can be black, white, brown, or a combination of colors. Shih Tzus also have a distinctive facial hair, which gives them a wizened appearance.<br></span><br></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gb9k0ife68" data-azat-pid="gb9k0ife68" id="gb9k0ife68" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azcnt="true" data-azat-box_model="000000"><iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=stormsai-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B08HJFPSC2&asins=B08HJFPSC2&linkId=8d3921f4185b8287d7ccf72830b153c7&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

A daily walk or playtime session is usually sufficient. Shih Tzus are also intelligent and easy to train. They respond best to positive reinforcement methods.<br>      </span><a draggable="false" data-cke-saved-href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; id="1294983" target="_top"><img alt="" draggable="false" data-cke-saved-src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" style="margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px;"></a></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Health</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Shih Tzus are generally healthy dogs, but they are prone to certain health conditions, such as eye problems, dental problems, and allergies. It is important to have your Shih Tzu screened for these conditions by a veterinarian.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Grooming</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Shih Tzus require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and free of mats. They should be brushed at least once a week, and they may need to be bathed more often if they have a long coat. Shih Tzus also need to have their facial hair trimmed regularly.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Overall</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">Shih Tzus are great companions for people of all ages. They are playful, affectionate, and intelligent. Shih Tzus are also relatively low-maintenance, making them a good choice for first-time dog owners.
