r/Shihtzu

Just soaking up the sun!🌞

Say hello to Mushu and milo. I got Mushu when he was 30 days old and Milo 3 years later when he was 7months old. Initially I thought Mushu was a lone wolf and he’d hate sharing things with another boy. But from the very first day they’ve been inseparable and now they get jittery without each other. I don’t think they’ve been apart for the last 6 years 😭

They’re both 9 and 7 now 🥰

Please wish them a healthy long life. ♥️

Not rubbing his face either just pawing & pawing.

My bebes Mambo and Mimi got haircuts yesterday! This is my first post showing them after a year of living with them, cuz I got a little shy about them being half shih tzus (and also being super shaggy — more adorable in person than on camera). But they’re being so clean and cute after our morning walk, I couldn’t resist. 📸

Mambo and Mimi sending greetz to their tzu brothers and sisters! 😌

This is my boy. He's half shih tzu half yorkshire terrier (according to embark DNA test) but absolutely massive. Currently 31 pounds and the vet says he's a bit overweight but only by 1-3 pounds.

Man, do I love my babies. Po was an only child for almost 10 years, so I was a little nervous when we got his brother.

Now they’re besties. They warm my heart every minute of every day.

this is my dynamic duo, we have mavis sleeping on top of bud-bud. she always bugs the old man as she is 2 and he is 7, as much as she annoys him, he loves her so much.

I'm only 16, but I want to make her life the bestest with what I have, even if I struggle already with myself. I know and am confident that I can change both of that, that I can take care of her and myself.

I also had a Shih-Tzu before, but it died from neglect due to me being a kid that time. I feel guilty, and I want that to change. I appreciate anyone here that took their time to read this. I heard this subreddit is very nice. :))

Right now here are already what I've done:

1. FOOD: Planning to switch her slowly to less salty dog-food as she grows, I've heard they have sensitive stomach, but I don't like Pedigree much. Read they are notorious for kidney problems, so maybe more on D.I.Y meals and a little bit of kibble when not much is available.

The previous owner is very kind and has given me useful info and reminders. Three times a day, she will eat. 7 AM, 12 PM and then 6 PM. Watee changes everytime.

2. ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH: She is healthy from the looks of it, she has ongoing vaccine schedules that I will bring her to, I currently stopped school so I have a lot of time. Her environment is my room that I cleaned, there isn't much stuff inside it because it once used to be a depression room, and I dumped my stuff away, so I decided she will stay here.

There are no rats, no cockroaches, a little dusty, but it has AC which is definitely a need because I'm in a tropical country.

3. OTHER INFO:

Age - 2 Months, Feb-07-26.

Quirks - Loves to play around in water, playful, does not bark often or at all.

Smell - It surprised me as I only have aspins, they sure smell strong.

Poop smell - Very smelly...

Urine smell - Not much smell...

I had someone hold my headband while I tidied up the shelves.

This is chaichai. She's 2 years old, she will not care if you call her by her name, she goes by chicken. Only then if you call "chickennn" will she walk to u

Safe to say she was loving it 🥰

Happy Birthday to Woody! He’s such a sweet little boy and has my whole heart.

My little girl showing off for the interwebz

i made a post on the namemydog subreddit, and got so many suggestions that i'm even more confused. here are the names i like:

Penelope (i could call her Penny)

Wiki (short for Wicket)

Roxie

if you have any other suggestions, i'm open to that as well.

I rescued Oliver and Oakley within 6 months from eachother- both from Texas

I’m very surprised about one of the results

I thought Oliver was mostly chi- I rescued 2 shihtzu mixes! So grateful

He wasn’t thrilled with the first course…

....can tell me that these little fluffy creatures don't know exactly how to manipulate us humans.

Who is really in control here? Who is the boss? Lol...

In this case, its Callie!

She wanted the steak...and guess what....she got it!
