The temperament of shih tzu

The Shih Tzu was primarily bred for companionship and as a house pet. This means that the Shih Tzu temperament must enable him to adequately fill this role; by this the temperament of Shih Tzu must be friendly, affectionate, lively, gentle, happy, playful, active, outgoing, trusting towards adult, kids and even strangers. However this lovely toy breed also referred to as the lion dog packs additional traits that makes the Shih Tzu temperament a delight and a source of joy to its owner.

The Shih Tzu is clever, loyal, devoted, intelligent, courageous (or even out rightly spunky) and its alertness makes this breed a good watch dog even though it was not bred for this purpose.  Also locked within the Shih Tzu temperament is its love for personal attention and unsurprisingly its demand for it if he is given the free reins.

The temperament of the Shih Tzu shares a similarity with the Siberian husky: their friendliness toward everybody including strangers and intruders.
