The Shih Tzu puppy in this video is MaKey. He is bouncing around in his home. His big home. And he’s eating from a big bowl half his height. It’s fun listening to MaKey chew his food. And his sudden burst of energy at the end of the video is just delightful.
Characteristics of a Shih Tzu
There’s something about the way Shih Tzu walks that brightens our day. They have such a happy gait, showing their optimism. No wonder it’s easy to feel uplifted just looking at a Shih Tzu. Shih Tzu is a companion dog through and through. His only purpose in life is to give love and to soak up your love, according to Vetstreet.
This is one of the sweeter Toy dogs. They have no interested in being a guard dog, or hunting, or digging tunnels. They will play fetch with you, and find a comfortable spot on your lap. They do bark to let you know someone’s at the door. But once that person is inside your home, if your Shih Tzu senses that you like that outsider, they will also like that outsider. They trust your judgment.
Shih Tzu’s are very intelligent and enjoys learning. For this reason, they might enjoy obedience or agility competition. It’s possible that they’ll take longer to housebreak. Just be consistent, that’s all. Shih Tzu’s need to get a short walk everyday. And if you can’t go outside with them, they’ll be content running laps around the furniture if you play with them. Because Shih Tzu’s are small, they can live in apartments. And they can also live on a farm. Just don’t leave them outdoors. They are sensitive to heat. And they need to be with their humans. This is an indoor dog. You can read more about this breed here.
