About The Shih Tzu

Temperament
Shih Tzus are loyal, gentle, and proud dogs. They have a pompous demeanor, although they are really sociable and affectionate. They enjoy playing ball and will chase after anything you toss their way. They are generally trustworthy, companionable, and get along with everyone. Outside, they are vivacious, alert, and energized. The Shih Tzu is a delightful companion who, if properly trained, will be obedient. This breed has to be groomed on a daily basis. Bathing is required once a month. The matting on the feet of this breed should also be clipped. Brush them on a daily basis to eliminate and prevent mats from growing in the fur. They only require light exercise, but they will enjoy playing outside.

History
The Shih Tzu, which has been around since the 7th century, is thought to be descended from a Tibetan Lhasa type dog that crossed with the Pekignese or Tibetan Mountain Dog. The Shih Tzu is more people-oriented and less distrustful than the Lhasa Apso and has a similar appearance and demeanor. They were a favorite dog of Chinese royalty for ages, and they have been depicted in Chinese paintings and artwork. In the palaces of the Emperors and the Dalai Lama, they lived in splendor. They were bred to be pets and friends, and they were frequently maintained as such. In Chinese, they were known as "Lion Dogs," as the lion was a potent symbol of honor and might. A few of these creatures made their way to the United Kingdom and other countries when China declared a republic in 1912. Following this, the communist takeover of China resulted in the eradication of practically all dogs on the mainland, where they were lucky enough to have found their way to other countries ahead of time. They arrived in the United States by military officers returning home after World War II. The American Kennel Club (AKC) did not recognize the breed until 1969. On its debut appearance in a dog show, a Shih Tzu won Best in Show in the ring. In recent years, the breed has gained popularity in a number of countries.
