Shih Tzus are one of the friendliest and happiest breeds of dogs, and there are very few things that they don't like. Shih Tzus love most people and almost everything they encounter. However, there are some things that they really enjoy. Read on for a list of the top 10 things that Shih Tzus like.

1. Getting their beauty rest

How do you think they stay so adorable? Shih Tzus might be little bundles of energy, but when they're all played out, it's time for a much-needed nap.

2. Eating and sleeping (sometimes at the same time!)

Along with naps, Shih Tzus love to nibble. Sometimes, they can't decide which they like more, so why not do both? Falling asleep over dinner might not be a Shih Tzu's finest moment, but it certainly is adorable (and hey, we've all been there).

3. Bonding with their families

Shih Tzus love bonding with their humans. Scratching, petting, playing – it's all great to them! These affectionate little dogs can easily spend all day just hanging out with their people, and they make pretty great company.

4. Drinking cold, fresh water

All that playing, napping and bonding is thirsty work, so make sure your Shih Tzus always has a fresh supply of cold water. Although sometimes, they'd much rather go right to the source!

5. Dressing up in adorable clothing

OK, we're not sure if Shih Tzus enjoy this quite as much as their owners, but with so many cute outfits available, we just can't help ourselves (and we're pretty sure that Shih Tzus like to feel pretty too!).

6. Climbing

Shih Tzus are so small that they usually only get to see the world by looking up. Some Shih Tzus will attempt to climb, others will simply demand that their owners pick them up – either way, who can blame them for wanting to see the world from a different perspective?

7. Being admired

Shih Tzus love attention and they never tire of receiving compliments from their many admirers. Who could resist that face?

8. Making new friends

Super friendly and affectionate, Shih Tzus just want to have fun and make new friends. Most Shih Tzus are very outgoing and won't hesitate to approach potential new pals – even ones that are very different from them.

9. Observing the big world around them

Shih Tzus are extremely inquisitive and they love to see what's going on around them. So don't be surprised if your Shih Tzu spends a lot of time looking out the window – she's just making sure she doesn't miss out on anything exciting!

10. Looking their best

They may be just a little bit vain, but it's hard not to be when you're super cute, look adorable and have more outfits than your owner. Besides, who needs a special occasion to look this great?
