Revel In Learning All About The Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu breed has dogs of small sizes: their height measures from 8 inches and up to 11 inches and their weight varies from 9 pounds up to 16 pounds. The look of the Shih Tzu is extremely beautiful. It has a double coat – one long-haired luxuriant coat and the other soft and wooly. The owners of the dogs of this breed usually comb the hair on their head into a top knot, in order to keep it from falling into their eyes.
The Shih Tzu or the Small Lion (the Chinese meaning of its name), as it is popularly known, originates from Tibet. When learning about the history of the Shih Tzu, we see that it was a favorite pet of the Emperors of Manchu Dynasty of China around 19th century where they flourished. The dogs of this breed arrived at the imperial court of China as gifts from some tibetan monks. Since they looked like lions, they were named as the Tibetan Shih Tzu, or the Tibetan Lion. The first dogs of this breed arrived in England around 1930 and they were imported in the United States after the Second World War by American soldiers. Beeing so beautiful and having a friendly attitude, these dogs were instantly accepted by both English and American people.
Why Is the Shih Tzu Breed So Loved By All People?
The dogs of the Shih Tzu breed are popular among the people from any country on Earth. They love to be with people and around people. When they were left alone for a too long time, they can become cranky or act distructively. They are dogs to go along with everybody, either people or animals, and their temperament is calm and sweet. But small children should be supervised in the presence of a Shih Tzu dog, so that no one gets harmed.
Both Shih Tzu puppies and adult dogs require frequent grooming, because of their double coat. The hair has to be combed daily to keep it from tangling and matting. They need to be bathed often and they fall easily sick if exposed to high humidity content in the air, hence should be brought to live in climates, which are not too humid. Their teeth need special attention since they have a tendency of falling when the dog crosses into middle age (9 years old and onwards).
They breathe with a wheezing sound and snor loudly because of theirs' short and flat faces. Shih Tzu dogs tend to get obese so owners must not overfeed them. They tend to become and behave like spoiled brats easily.
The Shih Tzu breed is basically stubborn and hence they could be difficult to train. It is hard to train them at home. They learn only through positive reinforcement and patience; harshness has no positive effect on these dogs.
These dogs are indoor dogs and they are happy to live in apartments and small-enclosed places. And there is no need of much exercise. But as many possible games, both into the house and outdoors. There is a lot more to learn about the Shih Tzu dogs. And more about their origin and history can be found on this site.
