The shih tzu: the shih tzu (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781987782332)

Also called "chrysanthemum dog", the Shih Tzu is an attractive ball of fur. We always want to cuddle him and to have him in our arms because he is very cute and adorable. But what can we actually expect from this plush animal? The Shih Tzu is a calm dog, and he is wonderful for his appearance and for his joyful personality. The Shih Tzu is always happy, very clever and brave. He messes up sometimes, but is quickly forgiven thanks to his almost human expressions. This is exclusively a companion dog, ideal for big children who can treat him with respect without hurting him. Despite his small size and his docile personality, this dog knows how to impose respect and doesn't like to be made fun of. He can "pout" for hours if he feels that he's been reprimanded unfairly. Intelligent, playful and energetic, the best way to educate him is the soft way, based on confidence, tenderness, respect, love and patience. If you follow this rule, everything will be fine. This is exclusively an apartment dog. He is perfect for everybody families with kids and old people. The Shih Tzu is a strong dog despite his frail appearance. His fur needs great care, especially if he gets in beauty contests, an activity that many masters plan for him. Do not forget that he has other needs, in addition to being pampered. He is playful, dynamic, and always ready for a walk. He is obedient, reliable, and smart. Outgoing, cuddly and very sentimental, always there for his master, sensitive and observant, he knows everything about you. He is very sociable and he will be happy to meet your relatives and friends. On the street, he will be 'friends' with the strangers that show interest in him. He accepts all the other dog breeds. And with some diplomacy from you, he will be on good terms with cats. He doesn't fear temperature variations but he doesn't tolerate heatwaves well. The Shih Tzu can be easily educated, but you have to be calm because he hates yelling, gentle because you shouldn't rush him, patient because his education can last up to eighteen months and should always be updated. During puberty, around 7-8 months old, the young Shih Tzu will test you, you shouldn't give in to him, but do not frustrate him.
