3. Shih Tzu

The name Shin Tzu means “little lion,” but you have to know that there is nothing fierce about this pup. These dogs are friendly jesters that love to interact with people. They have Chinese and Tibetan origins and have been loved by people for thousands of years.

Shih Tzus have big personalities, and no one can resist their charm. These pups love children and get along very well with other dogs.

They are perfect if you live in a big city because, since they are a small breed, they don’t mind living in an apartment. They enjoy short walks outside, but more important than that, you need to remember that they are the center of attention. They like to play and you should not neglect this need.

Shih Tzus have a long, smooth, silky coat that can easily reach the ground if left to grow. Most owners choose to keep their Shih Tzus coats trimmed short all year round because it is easier to care for. But if you want to let the coat grow, you need to prepare for some serious grooming. They need weekly baths and daily brushing and combing. You don’t want any foreign objects to remain stuck in the coat.
