go to Pet Groomers...

well..when the shih tzu's fur is long..its elegant..
when it's short..its cute like puppies..

My Shih Tzu after mandi

My shih tzu I used to cut their hair.
The reason is that though shih tzu in advertisement are traditionally kept with longer fur but because they are in cooler countries, while in Malaysia, it's a different climate altogether.

So keeping them short makes them much more comfortable. Unless you keep them in your house with the air-cond on 24 hours

How u cut it?? Mind to share??

Me too.. always keep my shin tzu hair short.. look more cute n manja..

All I used are just scissors. Trimming them.
Maybe becoz of the area I stay with garden, so keeping their fur short, makes movement easier and let's them enjoy playing outside.

But when trimming using scissors, make sure you know how to trim. Do not ever trim the front where his/her whiskers are. And also the legs are bothersome. Tail especially....do not cut the skin.

hehehe..
Yea, their fur coat is thick and once its long it gets really hot..
but generally Shih Tzus are indoor pet doggies..

Yaya, indoor "terrorist" as well.

This morning saw it at other website, got 2 shin tzus open for adoption.. the reason of giving away is the owner no have time to take care them.. very upset when seeing such post/thread.. mayb bcoz i know the shin tzu's attitute n behavior which need a lot of love from the owner n oso they very manja type..

Juz like my QQ, very manja 1, when last 2 weeks i went back to hometown for 3 days n come back here on Sunday.. when she saw me she like crazy adi.. keeping on wan me to carry her.. n at nite she slept on the bed on my side which she didnt do so last time.. let me feel like she afraid i wil leave her again..

Toy dog's attitude are so adorable too..

I used to have a shih tzu.... died of Heart Failure at the age of 12.... he past away on August 8th.... To all owners, once your shih tzu turn senior, do go for more check ups to monitor the heart..... my vet says it happens to shih tzus.....

Really??

Then it hv any others thing we need to take attention bside hving check up usually?

Yah... I was so so sad to learn that my dog had heart failure..... When reach senior age, vet said anything could happen, liver failure, kidney failure.......

Actually, you can monitor by yourself.... once awhile, put your ear on your dog's ribage and listen.... If it goes "thump thump" then the heart is normal... but when getting near to heart failure, the thump sound is replaced by "swich swich" and is very irregular.

Eyes loh important, always check to make sure no ulcers...

So sad to heard abt ur shin tzu... n thanks for sharing tis info to us..

Seem like shin tzu is very weak dog.. anyway i stil love them especially my baby QQ..
