Socializing early and often will help your pup learn to be confident and allow their personality to shine through. Shih Tzu puppies are bouncy, cuddly fluff balls. You will be captivated by their inquisitive nature and playfulness!

Your Shih Tzu’s coat will grow to floor length, but many owners prefer to take their pup for regular haircuts to keep daily maintenance to a minimum. A Shih Tzu will benefit from daily brushing to keep their fur free from tangles. With their silky and luxurious fur, a Shih Tzu needs regular baths and grooming.
