shih tzu traits

The Shih Tzu is not an easy breed to groom and may require the skills of a professional groomer . It also has the tendency to gain weight if its appetite is given free reins. While it is not uncommon for dogs to eat feces (both theirs and of other dogs), the Shih Tzu appears to be prone to this behavior and therefore should be watched to ensure that this tendency does not develop into a habit.

The Shih Tzu is also not among the easiest dog breed to train and are particularly difficult to house break. While the Shih Tzu temperament is lovely, the Shih Tzu will require a consistent and dedicated attention in order to produce the well trained dog. It is however an intelligent breed with a high tendency to chew/bite on things and a high prey-drive which makes it difficult for the really smaller animals to stay within the reach of the Shih Tzu. When it comes to barking, the Shih Tzu tends to vocalize above the average which makes the breed an excellent watch dog.
