The Shih Tzu was bred for one job: to be a loving companion. They are cheerful, cuddly and happy in small spaces, which makes them a natural fit for Miami condos and families. Here is what to know before you bring one home.

About the Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu comes from Tibet and China, where it was kept as a palace companion dog for centuries. The name means "little lion." Shih Tzus are known for their flowing double coat, short muzzle, plumed tail and confident, friendly attitude. Colors include gold, white, black, brindle, liver and many combinations.

  • Size and weight

    Shih Tzus are a small, sturdy toy breed. Adults stand about 9 to 10.5 inches at the shoulder and weigh about 9 to 16 pounds. They are solidly built for their size, which makes them a bit sturdier than many other toy breeds.

  • Temperament

    The Shih Tzu temperament is affectionate, outgoing and playful. Most are friendly with everyone, including strangers, kids and other pets. They are not as eager to please as some breeds and can be a little stubborn, but they respond well to gentle, patient training.

  • Energy and exercise

    Shih Tzus have low to moderate energy. Short daily walks and indoor play are enough for most. They love to play in short bursts and then curl up next to you.

  • Grooming and shedding

    Shih Tzus are low-shedding, and their coat is often better tolerated by people with allergies, though no dog is fully hypoallergenic. The coat keeps growing, so it needs daily brushing if kept long. Many owners choose a short "puppy cut," which needs less brushing but still requires a professional groom about every 4 to 6 weeks. Face and eye area cleaning should be part of the daily routine.

  • Lifespan

    Shih Tzus are a long-lived breed, typically living about 10 to 18 years. Ask your Pet Counselor about the parents' health history for any puppy you are considering.

Is a Shih Tzu right for your Miami home?

For condo and apartment living, it is hard to beat a Shih Tzu. They are small, quiet compared with many toy breeds, need no yard and get much of their exercise indoors. They also suit seniors and busy households.

Caring for your Shih Tzu puppy

Housebreaking takes patience with this breed. Use a crate, keep a strict schedule, take your puppy to the same spot every time and reward success immediately. Many condo owners also set up an indoor potty area for rainy days and late nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big does a Shih Tzu get?

A full grown Shih Tzu stands about 9 to 10.5 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 9 to 16 pounds. Most reach adult size by about 10 to 12 months. A Petland Miami Pet Counselor can share the size of a puppy's parents to give you a better idea of its adult size.

Do Shih Tzus shed?

Shih Tzus are low-shedding, and their coat is often better tolerated by people with allergies, though no dog is fully hypoallergenic. Their hair keeps growing, so they need daily brushing if kept long, or a professional groom about every 4 to 6 weeks in a shorter puppy cut.

Are Shih Tzus good with kids?

Yes, Shih Tzus are usually good with kids because they are friendly, playful and sturdy for a small dog. Teach children to handle them gently and to avoid pulling the coat or picking them up without help. Petland Miami Pet Counselors can help you decide if a Shih Tzu fits your family.

Can Shih Tzus handle the Miami heat?

Shih Tzus are sensitive to heat because their short muzzles make it harder for them to cool down. In Miami, keep walks short and in the early morning or evening, avoid hot pavement, and keep your Shih Tzu indoors in air conditioning during the hottest hours. Never leave one in a parked car.

Are Shih Tzus good apartment dogs?

Yes, Shih Tzus are one of the best apartment dogs because they are small, need little exercise and are calmer than many toy breeds. They fit most Miami condo weight limits. Plan ahead for housebreaking, since an indoor potty area helps in high-rise buildings.

Is Petland Miami a Shih Tzu breeder?

No, Petland Miami is a pet store in Kendall, not one of the Shih Tzu dog breeders. Our Shih Tzu puppies come from USDA-licensed breeders with no direct violations and select hobby breeders, named on our Petland Cares page. Miami-Dade County requires the breeder's name and address for every puppy, and you can ask to see it.

What is the Shih Tzu price at Petland Miami?

The Shih Tzu price at Petland Miami varies by puppy, pedigree, color and age. For a specific puppy's price, tap Get My Info on its listing or call (305) 363-6959. Petland Miami also offers $0 down financing with low monthly payments, and you can check if you prequalify online.
