Toy Group
General Appearance
The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy dog with long flowing double coat. Befitting his noble Chinese ancestry as a highly valued, prized companion and palace pet, the Shih Tzu is proud of bearing, has a distinctively arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. Although there has always been considerable size variation, the Shih Tzu must be compact, solid, carrying good weight and substance.
Even though a toy dog, the Shih Tzu must be subject to the same requirements of soundness and structure prescribed for all breeds, and any deviation from the ideal described in the standard should be penalized to the extent of the deviation. Structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the Shih Tzu as in any other breed, regardless of whether or not such faults are specifically mentioned in the standard.
Size, Proportion, Substance
Size - Ideally, height at withers is 9 to 10½ inches; but, not less than 8 inches nor more than 11 inches. Ideally, weight of mature dogs, 9 to 16 pounds. Proportion - Length between withers and root of tail is slightly longer than height at withers. The Shih Tzu must never be so high stationed as to appear leggy, nor so low stationed as to appear dumpy or squatty. Substance - Regardless of size, the Shih Tzu is always compact, solid and carries good weight and substance.
Head
Head - Round, broad, wide between eyes, its size in balance with the overall size of dog being neither too large nor too small. Fault: Narrow head, close-set eyes. Expression - Warm, sweet, wide-eyed, friendly and trusting. An overall well-balanced and pleasant expression supersedes the importance of individual parts. Care should be taken to look and examine well beyond the hair to determine if what is seen is the actual head and expression rather than an image created by grooming technique. Eyes - Large, round, not prominent, placed well apart, looking straight ahead. Very dark. Lighter on liver pigmented dogs and blue pigmented dogs. Fault: Small, close-set or light eyes; excessive eye white. Ears - Large, set slightly below crown of skull; heavily coated. Skull - Domed. Stop - There is a definite stop. Muzzle - Square, short, unwrinkled, with good cushioning, set no lower than bottom eye rim; never downturned. Ideally, no longer than 1 inch from tip of nose to stop, although length may vary slightly in relation to overall size of dog. Front of muzzle should be flat; lower lip and chin not protruding and definitely never receding. Fault: Snipiness, lack of definite stop. Nose - Nostrils are broad, wide, and open. Pigmentation - Nose, lips, eye rims are black on all colors, except liver on liver pigmented dogs and blue on blue pigmented dogs. Fault: Pink on nose, lips, or eye rims. Bite - Undershot. Jaw is broad and wide. A missing tooth or slightly misaligned teeth should not be too severely penalized. Teeth and tongue should not show when mouth is closed. Fault: Overshot bite.
Neck, Topline, Body
Of utmost importance is an overall well-balanced dog with no exaggerated features. Neck - Well set-on flowing smoothly into shoulders; of sufficient length to permit natural high head carriage and in balance with height and length of dog. Topline - Level. Body -Short-coupled and sturdy with no waist or tuck-up. The Shih Tzu is slightly longer than tall. Fault: Legginess. Chest -Broad and deep with good spring-of-rib, however, not barrel-chested. Depth of ribcage should extend to just below elbow. Distance from elbow to withers is a little greater than from elbow to ground. Croup - Flat. Tail - Set on high, heavily plumed, carried in curve well over back. Too loose, too tight, too flat, or too low set a tail is undesirable and should be penalized to extent of deviation.
Forequarters
Shoulders - Well-angulated, well laid-back, well laid-in, fitting smoothly into body. Legs - Straight, well-boned, muscular, set well-apart and under chest, with elbows set close to body. Pasterns - Strong, perpendicular. Dewclaws - May be removed. Feet - Firm, well-padded, point straight ahead.
Hindquarters
Angulation of hindquarters should be in balance with forequarters. Legs - Well-boned, muscular, and straight when viewed from rear with well-bent stifles, not close set but in line with forequarters. Hocks - Well let down, perpendicular. Fault: Hyperextension of hocks. Dewclaws - May be removed. Feet - Firm, well-padded, point straight ahead.
Coat
Coat - Luxurious, double-coated, dense, long, and flowing. Slight wave permissible. Hair on top of head is tied up. Fault: Sparse coat, single coat, curly coat. Trimming - Feet, bottom of coat, and anus may be done for neatness and to facilitate movement. Fault: Excessive trimming.
Color and Markings
All are permissible and to be considered equally.
Gait
The Shih Tzu moves straight and must be shown at its own natural speed, neither raced nor strung-up, to evaluate its smooth, flowing, effortless movement with good front reach and equally strong rear drive, level topline, naturally high head carriage, and tail carried in gentle curve over back.
Temperament
As the sole purpose of the Shih Tzu is that of a companion and house pet, it is essential that its temperament be outgoing, happy, affectionate, friendly and trusting towards all.

History
The Shih Tzu is certainly the product of crossing the Lhasa Apso from Tibet with the Pekinese from China. In 1643, the Dalai Lama presented the Manchurian Dynasty with a gift of small “lion dogs” (shih tzu). The breed was appreciated by the royal court and China’s last empress kept her in her palace until 1908. In 1923, a kennel club was founded in Beijing. In 1930, Lady Browning brought the first specimens to England. The English Kennel Club recognized the first litter with the Central Canine Society in 1953. The FCI recognized the breed in 1954. The Shih Tzu is less common than the Pekinese and the Lhasa Apso.

Aniwa Publishing, 2005
The Royal Canine Dog Encyclopedia) | | Nov 23 | - | Some General Principles of Shih Tzu Care
Those who have decided to have a Shih Tzu dog will need to educate themselves on the general Shih Tzu care so they will be able to (i) know what they need to do when they bring this dog home, whether adult or puppy, and (ii) know whether they can manage the demands imposed by this task.
General Shih Tzu Care is Not Too Hard
Fortunately, the Shih Tzu care will not be too problematic, because the Shih Tzu breed is a healthy breed, generally speaking. It has very few serious health problems and hence, they will need very few visits to the vet in their lifetime. Kidney disease is the only major ailment that this breed is prone to. This disease is called renal dysplasia. Other possible health problems, though minor, are wheezing (due to the shape of their muzzles), and slipped kneecaps that come with old age.
More than health concerns, grooming needs to be taken into consideration. The majority of general Shih Tzu care will be centered on its grooming – particularly cleaning, combing and brushing its luxuriant long coat and its wooly undercoat. A Shih Tzu who is not groomed at least once in two days, will develop skin problems owing to matted and tangled hair, not to mention dirty.
The Shih Tzu does not need too much exercise, though it thoroughly enjoys playing outdoors. However, they need company all the time and cannot adjust to long periods of solitude. Hence, if you choose this breed, you will need to be there for this dog the majority time of the day. Here, the most important general aspect of Shih Tzu care you can give this dog is yourself and your time.
The teeth of this dog are prone to falling off, as it grows old. Hence, adequate importance should be given to this fact and veterinary doctors should be consulted to reduce the risk to the minimum possible.
Obesity
The Shih Tzu loves to eat and you will find that the most common self-induced problem is obesity. It is good if you learn from the beginning to abstain from over-feeding them. They never stop eating and they have extraordinary capabilities to digest, for which you will never know when to stop feeding it; more so when you feed it tiny tidbits. Hence, you should stick to the only-meals routine as part of general Shih Tzu care, and do not allow too much snacking in between.
Generally speaking, Shih Tzu care will revolve about its grooming. As stated earlier, the only major health concern facing the Shih Tzu is renal dysplasia – hence, it is good to be well educated on this matter before getting the puppy into your midst.
