Shih tzuz are stubborn dogs sometimes.... actually, it is true with all dogs. If you got luck, then maybe can get one that is a natural learner. Not all shih tzus behave the same. Some bite, some don't. Some bark, some don't. Some are brave, some are not. So when getting a dog, just study the puppy's character and personality before buying it.

A shih tzu, without cert can easily get for rm500 and with cert, rm800 to RM1200. Depends on what you are looking for also. Not all shih tzus are a good buy, even if the price is cheap, sometimes a breeder can cheat and sell you a mix shih tzu.

Lifespan for a shih tzu is 15 years or more.... Becareful, they need grooming(comb hair) at least 3 times a week. You got to cut the fur at least once in 2 months. Shih tzus are also prone to eye ulcers and heart disease.
