14 Reasons To Never Ever Adopt A Shih tzu Dog Breed

Before adopting a Shih Tzu dog, you must have done some research depending on your family’s living style and place. In case you are searching for a small pup to make up for the space in your home, the name ‘Shih Tzu’ must have popped up on your screen. This dog is considered to be among the expensive dog breeds. But what you must be concerned about is how adaptable the dog is with families.

I have had six over 26 years. They are the best dogs!!! They are not difficult. You just have to understand them. They are very humanlike. You cannot yell at them and never break their heart. Learn to groom them yourself and start early. They are fun and the sweetest dogs. Ten minute walks three times a day for adults. They don’t do heat well. And one of mine ( I now have 2) is cold natured. But all of mine have lived 14-15 years. My dogs have never been aggressive ever.

I’m a shih Tzu owner and they are not as difficult as described here. As any other breed they have there own needs. Small breed with small stomach. Healthy food and healthy snacks are best, my dog doesn’t shed, . To help with the anxiety, we got a second dog. They keep each other company. They are indoor dogs. Keep grooming and vet visits. My dog loves children and loves playing. They sleep with us and we’re trained for daily routines with consistency and they act independently with their daily routine. As long as you keep in mind that they require care just like any other living thing, they will be with you from 15 to 17 years.

Our Mocha lived to be 17 years old and she was the BEST SHIHTZU EVER. The happiest and sweetest and funniest dog. Still missing her after 4 years. Everyone should get a shihtzu.

I lost my shi tsu a year ago to a tumor and I still never forget about him, he was smart, loving, kind, and beautiful I always have and will think that they are the best kind of dog breed there is

I have had 2 Shih Tzu's in the past and they are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL DOGS. When I had to make the decision it was time for their best to have them go to
" Doggie Heaven ", was like loosing one of your children.
I am 76 and bought my 3rd one from a wonderful breeder 13 months ago. I picked her up when she was 10 weeks old.
During the 2 1/2 hr drive bringing her to her new home there was a bond starting. They are a tremendous person companion dog. You need to know the traits of the breed, and they are not difficult.
I am planning to get another Shih Tzu baby in the near future, so my Dasie has dog companion. This will give me double the love ❤️ from these wonderful fur babies.
My opinion is, Shih Tzu is one of the best small dogs you can have for a " SMART LOVING COMPANION ".
I don't agree with this negative video at all, you just need to learn and understand their traits.
If you don't want to learn about the ways to understand any dog breed, " then you should not own a dog ".

My full breed Shihtzu is a diabetic medical alert service dog. He is 16. He doesn't have a stubborn bone in his body. He is a pleaser. My dog doesn't bark, only when I tell him to. I taught myself to groom and trim my dog. My dog is the most adaptable dog I ever had. Yes I brush my dog everyday and we both enjoy it. Its called training. This video is wrong! Best dog I ever had.

Several of the reasons listed here are common in most dogs (some humans too), not just shih tzus. But I would rather have a shih tzu that have hair which I have to comb, than a dog that has fur which sheds everywhere, everyday. It's really a matter of personal preference. It's better to pick a dog you have a connection with than just nitpick at the traits. Cause dogs can adapt and change to meet the lifestyle and love of their human. :)

Love seeing all the comments. We have a shih tzu as well and have had others before. They really are the best dogs. I find them to be really smart and easy to train and not very big barkers at all. They do have smaller bladders so should be pad trained as well if you need to leave them alone for longer periods. My girl now will let me know she needs to go out if I haven’t brought her out before she needed to go. They def require more grooming but are happy with just playing ball in the house for exercise.

We have had multiple Shih Tzu’s, our most recent passed right before her 16th birthday. They were all well mannered and trained. Never had any issues and most on this video were very generic that applies to most dog breeds. This video needs to learn more about Shih Tzu’s. Like with any breed, they just need the right kind of love, understanding, patience and care. They have such great personalities, super smart, truly are part of the family and fill your hearts so much! 🫶🫶

I don't agree with the things in this video. I had two shihtzus, in different times of my life, and they didn't have anxiety separation, and they always had a very good health until they became very old. They had an excellent and joyful temperament. Still love them❤❤

[nellcline]

Had two shih tzus and did not have ANY major problems with them. One lived to be 18; the other 14. They ate anything, loved to walk, were never overweight, never anxious ( well one hated thunder), loved to exercise, played with toys well, were obedient, did not bark excessively. They did require grooming, but they were wonderful pets.

[rosettaatkins]

Mine was easy to train and is a living little girl. Highly recommend this breed if you want a pet to love

I own a shih tzu. I adopted her from a rescue group almost 8 years, and she has been a dream. I'm not a fan of this post. Please don't let this misinformed opinion detour anyone from adopting a Shih Tzu. They are such loving dogs.

[hogathacysty]

I had a Shih Tzu for 1 year. He was the best dog i ever had. Very smart and loving. Love walks and bike rides. Loved the car. We lost his tragically. We are waiting for 2 more. We are getting 2 so we can leave them at home when we have to. He was a little stubborn, but easily trained. He was potty pad trained when I got him. The sweetest dogs ever

[mariabarajas]

I'm a shih tzu owner and my Shiloh is the most wonderful fur baby ever breed has its way of being just like humans... so don't say to never get a shih tzu. You have no idea how wonderful they are . I've had several different breeds of dogs including 3 pit bulls . Every doggie is wonderful as long as you love them and care for them, we as humans will never love so unconditionally as a doggie will . We can learn a lot from these precious creatures all of them

[ivaleeweather]

I had a ShihTzu for over 18 years. My favorite breed, never had these problems with my ShihTzu. She was a sweetheart.

[tony-bihj]

I have 2 shitzus. I wouldn't swap them for the world. Best dogs l've ever had. Beautiful little dogs. They're my family. I love them.😂

[jackiemendoza]

I have had five shih tzus at one time. I now have another shih tzu and love them all and wouldn’t change it for the world.

Whoever created this video knows almost nothing about the breed. They have the best temperament and are loving adorable dogs!

[joannadavis]

Shitzu’s are my favorite breed. They are the clowns of the dog world, very intelligent and loving. I have not experienced many of the so called problems you allude to. I am the alpha dog and my Shitzu knows it, no monkey business. I groom my own dogs and they are easy to keep bathed and groomed every 7 to 8 weeks. Love, love, love this breed. This is my third Shitzu in 78 years.
