Let's delve into the history of the origin of the Shih Tzu
The history of the origin of Shih Tzu is measured by a single century. This is truly one of the oldest dogs in the world. Its roots begin in Tibet (Tibet), where, according to one version, it was brought from Byzantium (Byzantine Empire). Then the Dalai Lama presented a chrysanthemum dog to the Chinese emperor, who in turn made this breed available only to the imperial court and its close.
The history of Shih Tzu in Europe began only in the 20th century. The Ambassador of Norway (Norway) in China (China) received a gift from one representative of this species, and then a couple more thanks to his connections. He then became involved in the spread of Shih Tzu.

So what does a Shih Tzu look like?
First of all, it is worth noting that the Shih Tzu looks like a little lion cub - not for nothing is it called “the dog-lion”. It looks very tiny and compact. Her coat is very long, thick and silky, slight waviness is allowed, but curly is extremely undesirable. There is also an undercoat: it is soft, medium-thick.
Colors have many variations and are represented by various combinations of black, white, red and brown.
The torso of the Shih Tzu looks neat. The back is straight, the neck is long, the tail is abundantly covered with hair, the fore and hind limbs are straight, fairly strong, the paws are round.
Average values of growth: no more than 27 cm.
Average values of weight: within 4-8 kg.
The head is round with a distinct border between the forehead and the skull. The muzzle is covered with wool, square. The nose may be black or brown. Eyes set wide apart, dark, hanging ears.
How to contain Shih Tzu?
Experts advise to look for Shih Tzu only from trusted breeders. Due to their diminutiveness, they can even be kept in a small apartment, but like any other dog, she still needs active walks in the fresh air.
Wool care is quite capricious and requires a lot of attention. Every day it needs to be combed and face washed. It is recommended to bathe a dog as it is polluted, about once a week. The eyes are also an area requiring special attention: they should be rinsed regularly. Claws shear about 2 times a month.

What is the difference between eating Shih Tzu and other dogs?
In general, the difference in nutrition of the Shih Tzu and other breeds is not very large. If the diet consists of industrial feed, breeders and veterinarians recommend choosing superpremium quality. Natural products should be represented by meat, cereals, vegetables. Prohibited bones, sweets, pastries, spices and salt.
Feed the dog twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. You can not mix feed and natural products, as well as overfeed pet.

That is why it is important initially to properly raise the Shih Tzu, to avoid problems in the future. By training should be patient, do not put pressure on the dog.
