Description
The Shih Tzu is a little charmer, utterly convinced they are royalty. They trot through life with a confident swagger, their flowing hair enhancing their opulent air. These dogs thrive on human companionship, finding joy in snoozing on a lap or following their favorite person from room to room. Despite their pampered appearance, they possess a surprisingly sturdy and playful spirit, always up for a game of chase the toy. Their vocalizations, often dramatic, are part of their endearing communication style, letting everyone know their feelings. Living with a Shih Tzu means constant adoration and a delightful, opinionated companion.
