From wikipedia:
The Shih Tzu breed and The Imperial Shih Tzu ,or lion dog is characterized by its long flowing double coat; sturdy build; intelligence; and a friendly, lively attitude. In breeding all coat colors are allowed. The Shih Tzu’s hair can be styled either in a short summer cut, or kept long as is compulsory for
conformation shows. They are reputed to be a hypoallergenic pet. Although owners do not generally find hair on furniture or clothes, Shih Tzu’s do shed small amounts.Although generally outgoing and friendly, the Shih Tzu definitely has an attitude that cries to be spoiled. However, poorly bred dogs of the breed can be excitable, noisy, and snappy. Shih Tzus will almost literally do anything for food and look for any kind of chance to eat something other than just dog food. Though Shih Tzu are generally good with children, they become easily jealous of babies and toddlers. Poorly bred ones may snap if bothered by rambunctious children. Well-bred Shih Tzu are, as the Breed Standard calls for, affectionate to all people and should never show aggression to people or children. Because they are small, they can be injured by small children, and therefore are better suited for older children, particularly those who enjoy combing his hair.Shih Tzus are intelligent, and can be trained for obedience competitions and for good manners around the home. They can be stubborn, so persistence and consistency are definite pluses in training methods. Punishment makes this dog shut down, so training should also be low-key and motivational.
