Shih Tzus are some of the most popular dogs in the world, and it's no wonder! Many people love these furry little animals because of sweet nature and happy demeanor. They aren’t as noisy as other small dogs and are always willing to cuddle or play. Here, we have five reasons that these adorable pups make the world so much better!

Reason #1

Shih Tzus tend to be pretty friendly to everyone, though it does take some work to socialize them as puppies. They are a trusting and polite breed, so they don’t make very good guard dogs. However, if you want a sweet dog that will give you all of their love and loyalty, the Shih Tzu fits the bill. They get along well with other pets and animals too, so you can have other pets - including another Shih Tzu!

Reason #2

These littles dogs definitely have a personality and mind of their own. Get ready to laugh at your dog’s silly antics! They’re very playful and smart, making life much more exciting. Shih Tzus can go from being cuddly and cute to running around the house ready to play. Life is never dull with a Shih Tzu around!

Reason #3

Shih Tzus are a very forgiving breed. Even if you get upset with them (and it's important to remember to never be negative or mean to your little pal), they won't hold a grudge against you. They're pretty sensitive, so make sure you're sensitive when it comes to discipline, but just know that as long as you love your dog and treat it with respect, the feelings will be returned.

Reason #4

Young or old, Shih Tzus make a great companion. Whether you prefer to cuddle on the couch or go outside to play in the yard, a Shih Tzu will be happy to do it alongside you. They make the perfect family dog or the ideal dog for someone looking for a friend. They’re a very versatile and adaptable dog, so it’s easy to see why they’re so popular.

Reason #5

Loving these dogs is easy, even if you don’t love all of their hair. From their lovable little faces to the way they greet you in the morning by jumping on the bed, there’s no replacement for your Shih Tzu. The world would be a lot lonelier and hairless without these great little dogs.
