Shih Tzu temperament
Bred as a companion lapdog, Shih Tzus are typically easygoing and affectionate on the table, making them one of the more cooperative long-coated breeds to groom.
Grooming a Shih Tzu
Their flat face means tear staining and beard mats around the mouth need daily attention between visits, and most owners choose a shorter puppy cut over the full show coat to keep upkeep manageable.
How often does a Shih Tzu need grooming?
Every 4-6 weeks, plus regular brushing between visits so the coat doesn't tangle.
