My Shih Tzu was one of the best dogs I ever had! Smart, loving & easy to teach!

[@kaysumpter2447]

My baby boy Tucker who was with me for 14 years and just went to doggie heaven in April, slept in bed with me at my feet. He followed me everywhere, and I believe he fought to stay alive because he loved his Mommy so much. He had very advanced stomach cancer and only lived a month after veterinarian got diagnosis figured out. He was my furry, precious little son. Now, my Molly who is 16 has always been her own furry person, very strong-willed and the only tough Shih Tzu out of the 7 I have adopted. I have only once in the 15 years she's been with me heard her cry or show any sign of being in pain. She's had eye surgery and glaucoma for last 2 years, but never whines or expresses pain. Shih Tzus are AWESOME little dog people.💗💕

[@animaldigest]

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Tucker. Losing our pets is never easy, and pet owners totally understand the long mourning and grief. Tucker is now your angel in doggie heaven, free from sickness and pain. Molly appreciates you, and adopting that many Shih Tzus tells me you are beyond a superstar pet parent. Thanks for sharing!

My Shih tzu is still a puppy. And he brings me his favorite fetch toys and stuffed sqweeky toys for tug o war. He loves the cool grass in the yard and watching the neighborhood from the screened porch. He enjoys short morning and evening walks and sleeping in bed with me. He does not like for me to reach for him unless he wants to sit on my lap for cuddles. I take him to the groomer regularly to keep the hair out of his eyes, but I do like him fluffier than some others I see. He has bought me a lot of joy and I'm so thankful I was able to have him.

I feel the same loss. We just lost our 15 1/2 year old boy in February of this year. He was so beautiful and so sweet! I formed a bond with him that was deeper than I had ever had with any other dog I've have ever owned, much deeper than I ever thought possible for a dog. It felt as though a person had died, and I am still feeling it after all these months.

My Shih Tzu hates to hear me cutting anything on a cutting board, which seems to startle and scare her off. I love the way she snubs treats when they don't pass her sniff test. She is a princess in the worst sense of the word sometimes, but she is the most loving dog I've ever seen. She has never barked at anyone or refused a friendly touch. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

My Shih Tzu doesn't walk on grass, uneven pavements, sand and soil. She walks only on wood and tile flooring. She likes going out to the shopping malls (on a stroller) but will walk about 8 minutes inside the mall and she will want to be in the stroller after. My Shih Tzu doesn't want to be kissed nor hug but she loves to be next to me when I'm in the couch. She doesn't play with other dogs and she gives a look at other dogs like they are animals. My shih tzu thinks she's a baby human. She is turning 15 years old on February 28, 2023.

Our Shih Tzu, Sebastian is very family oriented and protective of us. He is a beautiful dog and looks like a stuffed animal. People want to pet him and they get a growl usually unless a treat is in the deal. Sebastian loves to give and get hugs but does like his own time . He loves the yard , playing catch and watching birds. He is my best buddy and all of us love him with the fullest of hearts. He is a true blessing to our family.❤❤❤

[@animaldigest]

Ahh, thanks for telling us about Sebastian!

[@rosalindmatteson3697]

I have a Shih Tzu, Fancy Pooka, who is a rescue from a dog fight ring. They were going to use her as a bait dog. I don't know anything beyond that. She is older. When I got her she was about 5 years. She was very neurotic and distrustful of everyone. She would, and still does to some extent, come and act like she wants to be picked up. But as soon as you lean forward, she dances back out of reach. When you sit back, she darts forward and does the half jump like she wants up, only to dance back again. I have worked hard to gain her trust, and have had success for the most part. However, now she is about 10 years old and seems to be getting senile. She will pee on the floor, and it will be obvious she has no clue she did so. Also, she has cataracts, so she is basically blind. But she isn't stupid. She knows if she flops down where you are cleaning, you will give her a treat to make her move. Sneaky!

We've had two Shih Tzus and now have another. They are fabulous dogs, but this video nails some of the dislikes that all of ours have exhibited--they don't like water much, which includes walks in the rain; they prefer strokes and petting on the backs and bellies rather than their heads and faces; they get extremely sullen when there are raised voices at home or a disagreement; and on and on. But I love them. Thanks for these words of wisdom.

[@sherilynrederth825]

My shih tzu is 8 and a rescue from a puppy mill a year ago She is afraid of any and all noises and people too. I thought it was from trauma, but maybe not as much! She's not overly affectionate, but can be playful for short periods. I love her just as she is

I'm not certain what our shih tzu realizes.... I'm used to Border Collies and Golden Retrievers. I'm not sure if this dog is trainable. I can't decide if she's just not too bright, or if she is just extremely stubborn. Or both. Definitely NOT concerned about pleasing like the other two breeds I mentioned. More like a cat's attitude - "I do what I wannu!". 🤨

[@kimberlybbane8602]

My mother inherited Winston my son’s and wife’s Shih tzu after the 2 grandbabbies were born. He loved the children they could play ruff with him and he never snapped or bit at them. He did start peeing inside when they were at work and tearing up stuff. He broke out of kennels. My mother was still working at the time Winnie come to live with her, he is a lot of company to her and he loves his Gran. When she left for work I bought her a new kennel and it looked like Hulk had gotten it and Winnie was free. So we tried the sunroom, he scratched deep marks in the wood, took all the paint off then he started in on her plants!!! She was not happy. So all her doors have deep scratches on them. Winnie lost his teeth and christmas he stayed in trouble!!! She retired 6 yrs ago and Winnie has changed 100% as long as he is with her , he is a happy boy. He is 13 now and blind in one eye, but still jumps in her chair and sits with her and goes on her daily walks. He is spoiled and gets Jesus Loves Me sung to him every night before he will lay down on his mat right beside her bed. So they are precious , but still has anxiety about being left alone.

You described my Oreo almost perfectly. He doesn’t like to be hugged but he will tolerate being picked up. He never gives kisses, which bothers me, but he will cuddle up close especially when it’s bedtime. (He sleeps with me and my husband.) He absolutely knows when it’s time to eat, and even when it’s time for a snack. We live close to a military base, and Oreo really doesn’t like hearing the gunfire or cannon fire. He’s fearful of loud fireworks and thunder. All in all though, he is the best pet we’ve ever had. Thanks for the video.

I have the most loving shih tzu. He waits until I'm distracted on the phone, then jumps in my high bed. I don't let him jump down in fear he may hurt himself. I lift him down myself. When he's ready to jump down, he will jump. One day he won't be able to jump that high. He will be six in February, 2023. He's my little baby. I make sure he's up-to-date on his shots. One problem; he gazes at me when I'm eating my food, and I always put a little food in his mouth, but not enough to where he stops eating his dog food. I've learned that he rather eat my food than his dog food.

My rather large shih tzu has never been a picky eater and he's well aware of when his mealtimes are if I forget when he will whine, chirp and make other bird sounds! My dog is afraid of blow dryers and will try to attack anything that makes loud sounds such as blow dryers, paper shredders, etc. He loves to go for very slow walks while he sniffs EVERYTHING!, rides in cars, running through puddles (especially after a bath!🤬), & playing in snow! He hates baths, being cleaned (he tends to get feces stuck to the fur around his anus but won't let anyone near it to clean it!), being brushed and massaged. He's very competitive and jealous of his mother & sister. When they are all together they sound like Hells Angels or Lions in the Serengeti! These dogs have huge personalities!

My ShiTzu, “Monkey”🐶❤️, is almost the total ‘polar opposite’ of most of these categories. Lol;) I think, like with most people, every ShiTzu is different & has different likes / dislikes & personalities. My sweet “Monkey” girl absolutely LOVES BIG, LONG HUGS & snuggles- esp ‘belly to belly’ hugs, as well as tons of kisses on her nose & face!💋🐶 She is absolutely the SWEETEST creature I’ve EVER known & she gives me CONSTANT LOVE & affection!! She LOVES sleeping with me in bed, or anywhere really. She almost never barks, which is amazing! A constantly barking dog is a deal-breaker, for me. The ONLY thing she absolutely HATES- is her bath time!!🚫🐶🛁 It’s challenging, to say the least…😩Ughhh! She HATES bath time!! And she doesn’t really like going outside, without me. Other than that, she is absolutely PERFECT!👌🏼🥰🐶 “Monkey” is the most loving & wonderful creature I’ve EVER known!! I would clone her, if I had the $$!💯✅ I will DEFINITELY be adding more ShiTzus to my life, down the road!♥️♥️♥️🐶🥰

This breed is so different when eating other dog breeds eat all the time mine eats and knows when she’s had enough I get the groomer to bath her she goes every 6 to 8 weeks and vet visits she has her share of problems esp allergies and paw licking.

Oh my gosh! I guess i have to tell my Jake, i cant make him the center of attention or hug him any more, when he pushes himself on me for hugs, because this video told me he hates it 🤣. My boy doesn't apply to any of this. Just opposite of everything 😂. Hes not afraid of loud sounds or thunderstorms. Hops on back of sofa, constantly telling him to get down so he dont fall. What does he hate ummm not much of anything. Very happy well adhusted boy.

My girl is Gypsy she loves hugs and kisses. But don't like to be left at home when I go to work. I have two other inside dogs so she has them but her anxiety kicks in when she sees me leaving. She is my cuddle bug. Love her and my fur babies. ❤

Dislikes: hugs, being picked up, walking on wet surfaces, long walks, baths, hot weather, beeping smoke detectors, thunder and lightening, certain breed dogs such as German Shephards

I even love the grumpiest Shihtzus ❤❤❤❤❤

As a fellow Shih Tzu, I completely agree! Fellow little lion pups - always stay within a thumb’s distance (those weird, opposable sausage thingies) of your weakest human. Generally the kiddos are most billable to give us food. Always make sure to avoid eating your food until the coast is clear and humans are no longer giving you fresh bits of yum yum. Remember, we can always go back to our bowl - humans are very weird about food on the floor. Stamina is key - follow all humans from room to room. You will eventually rewarded with an under the belly arm hold and the mysterious red ears fro your human after they finally pick us up. Pretend we don’t know any tricks to learn. Practice makes perfect to humans and they thoroughly enjoy feeding us rewards. If they try to balance a treat on your nose - DON’T PANIC. Let the treat fall and turn your head a quarter clockwise in disbelief. Humans just can’t resist 🐶

Neither of our shih tzus fit into any of these categories lol. They were the craziest girls I've ever met, and loved cuddling and being outside. One of them constantly hugged US, to the point that you had to move away from her at some point because of how excessive it got lol. They were so low-key, and just happy, confident dogs who just were along for the ride and were down for anything. Shih tzus are the best breed I've ever owned, bar-none. We're buying our 3rd one later this year. :)

My girl loves hugs

[@ayanaanon1054]

Those are some big pups. Mine only weighs 4 lbs 🤨 I had no idea she wouldn’t like to be hugged or snuggled tho. This is good advice- thanks 💕

[@daivebiz7152]

My dog loves to go outside. He prefer playing outdoor rather than indoor. And he is always waiting for someone to open the gate for him to dash and be chased. Hehehe

TL;DR, there's only one boss in your house with a Shih-Tzu around AND IT'S NOT YOU.

They “despised” being hugged? You do t know these dogs very well. I do t think I will watch this channel anymore.

My Shih Tzu likes to be held, cuddled, & rocked like a baby (but not on his back) when he's upset or scared. He wants to eat whenever he sees people eating, & often tries to refuse eating unless he thinks he's eating people food. He lets us know he's hungry by picking up his bear; the rest of his stuffed animals are lambies (Lambchop in various sizes). The only time Finnegan picks up "Bear" is signaling hunger, or if he b**ch-slaps your leg w/Bear to tell you that he wants to roughhouse w/Bear. (Lambies are sacred to him!) He tolerates baths, but hates being groomed. Our DIY journey began w/scissors strategically hidden in sofas, calming music, belly rubs, & treats. Now, he tolerates grooming in increments w/o much coaxing as long as we respect his time limits. He responds best to doing things we ask of him or trying new foods or activities if we explain the reasoning behind it. This may sound ridiculous to those w/o Shih Tzus but Finnegan, like most Shih Tzus, is highly intelligent. He knew left from right before he was 1 yr. old, & listens better to commands in German. He has a ranking order for his cheese preferences, resulting in our ongoing challenge to come up w/creative new ways to discuss cheese (no longer able to call it by its Amer. or German names or spellings) w/o tipping our hand. Every Shih Tzu is a little different, as they have very distinct preferences & personalities, but most of these truths are across the board. OH, & the #1 thing most Shih Tzus HATE is being dressed up like baby dolls or small children w/no say!!!!! They are their own being, & deserve (& demand) respect...unless you like getting bitten & don't care about your furry family members' feelings & boundaries!!! Just b/c they're completely adorable doesn't mean they're w/o a brain or are pushovers!!! Respect & trust is a 2-way street, especially w/a dog as smart & independent as a Shih Tzu!!!!! Sorry so long, but I grew up w/Shih Tzus, & have them as family members as an adult. They are royalty and deserve to be treated w/dignity & respect!

[@leongkhaiweng61]

Don’t like to be cuddled. They don’t like their owners.😂😂😂

[@shaljo]

Mine can't get out often enough. She's the happiest when she gets to run around or even just laze around outside

[@leannrussom2353]

My shihtzu is the exact opposite of most of those except for when I’ve been really busy and maybe gone a few minutes too long she pees in the hallway same spot every time 😂😂😂

[@Michelle-Williams-Melbournite]

Thanks so much . I really would love a Shitzu. I totally 💯 agree that A Shitzu is for me. I’ve had dogs my whole life. Your video is so cool. It’s appropriate for all Dogs. ☮️

[@animaldigest]

Thanks for your kind feedback and for watching!

[@Michelle-Williams-Melbournite]

Your welcome. It’s helped me a lot so thanks again. 🌼💎🐶

[@annettehall1569]

Not for Shih Tzus. All the information is incorrect. They are the most loving and calm dogs. I don't know what breed she is describing. I had 3 that lived to be 15 almost 16 years. All three had diffrent personalities, like a siblings do, but still very loving and smart.

[@kennethjanczak4900]

Best breed ever..

[@janwitt8173]

Our 12 year old Shih Tzu is the best lap dog! He hates loud sudden noises such as a man's sneezes and children screaming.

My little baby is totally independent and we do what she wants and when she is in the mood. She is afraid of water when the level is deeper than an inch.
