Shitzu puppies, also known as the Shih Tzu, originated from Tibet and China

. Through the years, these dogs become very famous in many countries because of their wonderful features. Generally, their size is smaller than that of other dog breeds. Their weight, which is typically from nine to 16 pounds, is lighter than that of other dog breeds even when they have already grown fully. These dogs can possess any color or blend of colors. They normally own compressed face with round forehead and big eyes. They usually get long and tangled coats during their seventh or eight month of existence. They have very soft and thick straight hair.

Shitzu puppies are joyful and trusting breed of dogs. They seem to be very enthusiastic to be by your side. Unlike other dogs, they might not be suitable for a home with little children because they easily get injured. When it comes to training, they are slow learners. They typically require two to three months of basic house training. Obedience training for these dogs usually takes a year or two or even longer. These dogs are energetic by nature, but they easily get bored. In this regard, it is perfect to train them during their childhood years. In connection with house training, it is best to train them to drink from a lick container rather than from a bowl. Their short nose gives them a tough time to drink from bowls.

Generally, Shitzu puppies are expensive when it comes to both money and time. The cost of these dogs varies according to where you buy them. The cost is high when you go for a highly regarded breeder. On the other hand, you can save some money if you buy them from a pet shop. These dogs need high maintenance as much as they demand plenty of attention. They are not outside dogs as they are very sensitive to the environment. They are sensitive in a way that the heat can lead them to experiencing heat stroke. Their vulnerability to illness can even extend to hip dysplasia and other serious breathing problems. These sensitivity and vulnerability make them high-maintenance dogs, so need to be very careful in dealing with them. While you train them, you also need to be aware of some basic treatments appropriate for them. Alternatively, you may keep a veterinarian's contact number handy in case of emergency.

Shitzu puppies may require too much money, time, and effort, but everything pays off in many ways. With these puppies, you can expect yourself to have a long-time company, which you can also consider as friend, because their life span is between 13 and 15 years. Another good thing about this breed is that they do not require much exercise. Thus, they can easily get used to small spaces that apartment living usually offers.

Cuddliness of Shitzu puppies can serve as good stress reliever, especially to women. Women are fond of this breed probably because of the hair that is so soft to touch, brush all day long, and accessorize. Apart from shitzu puppies, you can also look for German Shepherd puppies as this breed of dogs can also be the best pets provided that you know how to take great care of them. After caring for these puppies, you might think of becoming Shihtzu Breeders or German Shepherd Breeders.
