Temperament: The Shih Tzu is an alert dog with a fun attitude. Like many small dogs, they can easily become leader of the pack if their humans let them. If socialized well and trained as a puppy, Shih Tzus can be a courageous and clever companion. | Health Risks: Shih Tzus, along with other small breeds, are often prone to Portosystemic Shunts, a flaw in their genetic makeup that allows a blood vessel to bypass liver tissue. This allows unfiltered blood to flow to the heart. Also, they tend to have issues with their teeth so they require extra dental care. We recommend C.E.T.’s Oral Hygiene Kit for Dogs to keep your Shih Tzu’s teeth healthy. | Spoil Your Pet With: Duckworth by Multipet, Knots So Soft Bunny, Small Tug Rope Toy | For More Information: The Shih Tzu Book |
