We have 3 Teddy Bear Puppies (1 Females & 2 Male) that are 8 weeks and looking for their nThings to Know Before Owning a Shih Tzu The Shih Tzu is usually a small dog with large round eyes, pendant or drop ears, and a high set tail carried over the back. 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. Size, color, coat and even the shape of the head, ears and eyes will vary dependent on the mix. 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. Therefor it is less likely to be noticed. For this reason it is essential to brush your Shih Tzu several times weekly to avoid having the hair become tangles or matted. Shih Tzu’s also need to have their coats clipped regularly as the hair will grow quite long.

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.

All money collected is used for medical care and other dog related expenses. We are based in Central Wisconsin, and are always looking for wonderful,loving homes to foster or adopt our Shih Tzu. Please be sure you have thought about your decision to adopt before submitting your application.  Depending on the availability of people to do a home visit in your area it may take two weeks to get your application approved.  Our volunteers spend their time and money (for long distance calls and gas) checking references and doing home visits which we are happy to do to for the dogs. Each and every dog accepted into the program undergoes a physical examination by a veterinarian, is spayed/neutered, brought up to date on shots, heart worm checked, started on monthly heart worm preventative, dewormed, has a dental if needed, micro-chipped and will have any other medical problems addressed prior to adoption. We have no shelter, all of our dogs live in foster homes in the Wisconsin until we find them a forever home.
