They have straight hair that will grow quite long if left unattended.

Some Shih Tzu mixes may retain these characteristics while others may have a very different appearance. It is a myth that dogs that have ‘hair’ like the Shih Tzu, instead of a short coat of fur do not shed. But this myth exists because shedding is less obvious in these dogs. The hair that is shed is more likely to be trapped in the dog’s coat than it is to drop onto the floor or furniture. Puppies For Sale Hayward CaTherefor it is less likely to be noticed.

The shorter you keep the coat the less work it will be to brush it. Shih Tzu mixes that that have inherited the straight, silky coat will also require frequent brushing and occasional clipping. All dogs require some degree of exercise and mental stimulation. While Shih Tzus love being a lap dog they can also be quite spunky and truly enjoy playtime. Your Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu mix can be kept fit with daily walks. But they really enjoy interactive games with their people. Given their diminutive size this can be accomplished with simple indoor games or gentle romps in a fended yard. Like many breeds with pendant ears it is essential to keep their ears clean and dry to avoid infections. Those that share their home with Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu mixes often describe them as great family pets that fit most any living situation. They are charming and lovable, entertaining, and sometimes a bit stubborn! They can thrive in an apartment or condo as well as in a rural setting. But these are indoor pets and cannot be expected to survive living outdoors.
