Behavior and Traits of Shih Tzu

Breed biology of Shih Tzu

  • Hypoallergenic Dog

    Hypoallergenic dogs are intended to be more compatible with allergic owners. Smaller dogs that bark less are often indicators that a dog produces and disperses fewer allergens.

  • Low Exercise Requirement

    Higher-requirement dogs tend to need more frequent play time in larger areas, while minimal-need dogs can be left alone more often.

    Life Expectancy

    Low:
    10 yr.
    High:

    Shedding is the natural process which helps a dog stay clean. Lightly-shedding dogs are often associated with fewer allergic reactions when properly groomed.
