Whether the Shih Tzu is easy to raise depends not only on the personality and living habits of the Shih Tzu itself, but more on the owner's breeding methods, domestication principles and breeding mentality. When bringing a Shih Tzu home, you must first create a warm family environment for it. Prepare a warm and comfortable kennel for it so that it can rest quietly and quietly before it gets familiar with the new home environment. Daily feeding should be timed and quantitative, and Shih Tzu dogs need to be trained to develop good eating habits from an early age.

Also, don’t take him out to play when he is still young. The puppy’s resistance is too weak and he is easily infected with diseases. Wait until he grows up for a few months before going out. This can also prevent it from becoming picky eaters and anorexia when it grows up. In spring, summer, and autumn, you should arrange a bath for it depending on the temperature. If the weather is cooler, you can bathe it every 2-3 weeks; if the temperature is warmer, you should bathe it once a week; in hot summer, bathe it every 35 days. Before bathing, you can use absorbent cotton to plug the ear holes to prevent water from filling the ear canal and causing otitis and other diseases.

I believe that many of my friends will also choose dog food for their dogs. You can focus more on the nutrition and calorie content of the dog food when making your choice. An emaciated Shih Tzu needs to choose a dog food with more calories and nutrients, while a severely obese Shih Tzu can choose a diet dog food with balanced nutrition and lower calories. This is good for the growth of the Shih Tzu in all aspects, and you can also see that its growth and health are important. The ancestors of the Shih Tzu lived in Tibet, China. There is a Tibetan puppy similar to the Shih Tzu in paintings from the sixth century AD.

Legend has it that in the mid-17th century, the Lhasa Apso lion dog presented to the emperor by the Dalai Lama of Tibet was crossed with the Pekingese dog to get the Shih Tzu. Foreigners called it "Shih Tzu" to show that it was as beautiful and fragrant as the Chinese beauty Xi Tzu. Shih Tzu also means lion, and according to the local pronunciation, it also means a dog with a face like a chrysanthemum. The above is the basic method of raising Shih Tzu! I hope it can help you.
