FAQs

How much does a Shih Tzu cost?

The average cost of a purebred Shih Tzu puppy in the United Kingdom is approximately £695, though prices can vary based on factors such as pedigree, breeder reputation, and location.

Is a Shih Tzu a good house dog?

Yes, a Shih Tzu is generally a good house dog because they are small, friendly, and enjoy indoor living. They are also known for being good companions and getting along well with families. However, they require regular grooming and moderate exercise.

Can a Shih Tzu be left alone all day?

It's not ideal to leave a Shih Tzu alone all day, as they are social and need regular companionship and attention. If necessary, ensure they have plenty of toys, a comfortable space, and consider a pet sitter or dog walker. Long periods alone can lead to boredom and behavioral issues.

What are the disadvantages of owning a Shih Tzu?

Shih Tzus require regular grooming due to their long, dense coats, which can be time-consuming and costly. They may also be prone to health issues like respiratory problems and eye infections. Additionally, their stubborn nature can make training challenging for some owners.

What are the behavioral problems of a Shih Tzu?

Shih Tzus can sometimes exhibit stubbornness and may be difficult to house-train. They might also show signs of separation anxiety and can be prone to excessive barking if not properly socialized. Early training and consistent routines help manage these behaviors.
