Shih Tzus are companion dogs who love to spend a lot of their day shadowing their favourite people around the house. This breed is originally from the Asian subcontinent and ‘Shih Tzu’ translates to ‘little lion.’ We imagine that this refers to their long, mane-like fur coat rather than their temperament. Given the right care and environment, dogs of this breed have a reputation for being intelligent, lovable lap dogs. They get along well with children as long as children are taught how to handle these, small, delicate doggies.
