I can totally understand how challenging it is to raise a Shih Tzu, especially if it’s your first dog. I started this channel to help Shih Tzu owners take better Care of their Cuddle Monster.

  1. I could never tell the difference, so if they gave me a Lhasa Apso instead of i shih tzu I wouldn’t have known.

  2. I have both! Your description is dead on!! My shihtzu will love everyone .my lapso will be in the doorway observing..
    But with me, they are both princesses

STOP KILLING DOGS. * BAN breeding Dogs. Forbid Dogs euthanasia. BAN poisoning Dogs. STOP HIGH KILL SHELTERS. STOP KILL SHELTERS COMPLETELY. Animals must be with only those, that can provide them with the best care and real love.

    Dogs are the most tortured animals in the world. Every year, millions of dogs are thrown out into homelessness. They are needlessly bred, mistreated, tortured, killed through homelessness and by pervert caretakers who breed dogs for sale or for food, leather, fur. BAN CRUELTY TO ALL DOGS. THE LAW MUST BE CHANGED. Ban using Dogs to fight. Stop chaining Dogs. Ban leaving Dogs outside in Winter and bad weather – Dogs must be with the best Caretakers in loving homes. Dog Lovers must do more, even with giving opinion. Dogs that are not wanted should be put down with morphine, if they cannot be put for adoption and taken by very loving persons.

    Ban dog breeding. Dogs should live up to 100 years, like the Dingo's in ecological and clean nature, where soil, water, air and food were pure. Almost all shelters should be closed, except a few that are government approved and sponsored to preserve the species, and where the dogs will be bred in very small amounts for the pure love of the species – not through rape that is done by most breeders, or even forcing dogs to mate, or in-vitro which is also forcing to breed. A loving owner does not have to sterilize his pets because his/her care is so good that mating is not allowed. Sterilization is against nature, it's very painful, deprives the body of needed physiology, hormones, deprives the body of a natural way of cleansing itself and accelerated aging, also causes psychological changes that are unnatural.

    Dogs were since thousands of years humanity's friends around the world, among all the other animals. Within the last decades, in literature, within scientific circles, among artists and also among common folks – dogs are being treated as best friends and loved the most. Stop using Dogs and all other animals for testing in labs. * ♥️🐾🐕🐾💞🍀LOVE DOGS LIKE YOU LOVE YOURSELF, COMFORT THEM, UNDERSTAND THEM, AND ALWAYS HELP DOGS 👈😎📷🆘🐕💻♥️🐕♥️📠👉What happened with these sweet Dogs and what will happen CHECK UP ON ALL ADOPTIONS ALWAYS❤️💕💞🐕OUR DOGS ARE OUR CHILDREN, OUR MOST BELOVED FAMILY❤️💕💞🐕🍀All channels, organizations, should check on their Dogs ( rescued, adopted, having, showed…) SWEETHEARTS AND BEAUTIFUL ALL DOGS🐾🐕🌿 Wishing You sweet Dogs, and all Dogs, loving forever hearts, good homes and the best Caretakers♥️🐾🐕🍀WE LOVE OUR DOGS MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY, ALSO THE OLDEST SENIORS 💞🐕🐩🐶🐺🐕🐩🐶🐺🐕🐩🐶🐺🐕🐾♥️🍀

    Every dog at home, must have a litter box accessible at all times, because this is the animals health, it suffers without it, and this is a cause of pains and ailments which become more severe over time. Almost all owners mistreat their dogs, ordering them to hold their needs and relieving themselves only when it is convenient for them. The dog is the only animal in the world, that man forces to relieve itself only when it is proper for him/her, which is unacceptable abuse. A dog must clean its body as often as it needs, by itself and whenever it needs it. A dog is the only pet friend kept at home that cannot – is not allowed to – relieve itself at home. When we take a dog home to be our friend – and all dogs should be treated as such – it needs, close to its bed, a litter box. Especially when it is older or sick, because it can have more than one bed at home, depending on the apartment/house size. These places must be dry, warm and clean, but not hot or cold, not where there are chemicals. The bed must be well washed and very well rinsed to not leave any chemicals, like for small babies. It is not understandable, and not forgivable, that people keep dogs at home without a litter box, and they say that they love dogs and that dogs are their friends. Many people abuse dogs and even throw them out on the street (make them homeless), because dogs can't keep their needs and relieve themselves at home at some point. Some even have their dogs put down for this. That's why many dogs that suffer, because they cannot relieve themselves at home, and suffer pains, have difficulties with breathing, and increasing ailments – can sometimes vandalize things at home, are restless, howl, cry or lie and cannot move.

    A doggie toilet can also be a canalized shower tray/shower base. Dogs should never use a human toilet, because it is dangerous for them, not only difficult. Respect all Dog's needs♥️🐾🐕💦🍲🍼🍗🍰🍔🌿🍖🍀💞🏥🏨🏩🐕🐩🐕🐺🐕🐶🐕🐾♥️🍀🌿💕🌏🌎🌍🍀🌿❤️

    Remember that a dog feels like a person – suffering, pain, the need to relieve itself, it needs to go out and get fresh air and movement. It needs to be able to move at home and outside, and be safe. People are responsible for their safety.

    A dog must have drink as much clean water, as it needs. A dog cannot eat only food that is made specifically for dogs, especially low quality, because it will get very sick. No irradiated foods. Avoid artificial preservatives, flavoring, colorants.

    A dog owner eats more than one meal per day, and they are balanced for nutrition and taste. Everyone needs a balanced diet for health and taste, no one can withstand the same kind of food, all the time, which not only is disgusting, but also causes ailments. The dog is forced to eat what it is given by its owner, but it should be able to always pick, to always have a choice of variety.

    Love dogs, because they deserve it. Take care of them very well. Remember, that dogs are dogs, that they have their specific needs and their ways of being, of their species. Since hundreds of thousands of years, people all around the world, treated Dogs as their best friends and dearest household members. Never use dogs for sex, it must be forbidden.

    Scientists talk about growing meat on shelves (production for testing purposes has successfully begun) – of many animals – which would be the best for our world today, because there won't be animal killing, which is barbarian and very painful. This would be most humane. The world needs such technology, which would be not only most humane but also ecological. 🐕🐾 🌷🌷🌷 People who rescue dogs and other animals are really great. We appreciate your sacrifice. Many people love a dog like a dearest person, like a best friend. Best Wishes! 🐕🐾 🌷🌷🌷

  4. Thank u for wonderful information.We hv a Shihtzu.We hv no experience of keeping pets. This is our first initiative.Hence we know little about his bringing up. Kindly tell something about shihtzu's food likings and about how much quantity should be fed in one time.

  5. Yes I love BOTH 😍 but I owned a Llassa Also and he was wonderful… Independent – Not a lot of walking – hard to toilet train at 1st… But I would have a Llassa again…

  6. I've had both and they're both good dogs. My Shih Tzu was a rescue so it was a matter of retraining bad behavior. She was a sweet girl with lots of anxiety. I'm getting a new puppy next week, will be a little male Shih Tzu. I haven't had a puppy in a long time, this will be fun!

  7. I still don't know the difference between the 2. Your title is misleading. You focused more on similarities rather than otherwise.

  8. Shih Tzu ii hands down the BEST! Yes they're a little stubborn, require patience, & are notorious for being a bit more challenging to house break. Patience is the key & the unconditional love they give, the amazing welcoming & friendly nature towards other people & animals by far outweighs any challenges in training. I love your channel & you have a new subscriber! 🙂

  9. I get Lhasa apso from breeder 2 years ago but now doctor told that it's not Lhasa apso it's Shih Tzu breed dog so during meeting with which breed I need to meeting my female dog ?

  10. Is it ok to have the groomer shave my shihtzu? Apparently his hair is already tangled.

    Will it grow nicely again? Both the inner coat and the top coat?

    Thank you so much for a reply.

  11. I have an Apso Tzu cross. His personality is more Apso and definitely not a lap dog which is disappointing but love him anyway. Definitely have to make sure he knows that I am the leader and not him or your in for a tough time. 😊

  12. I had both dogs and I used to run with them when I was training for naval recruit school. I had to stop because the vet said the lhasa apso was getting to big and muscly and the shih tzu had lost to much body weight. So I borrowed the neighbours rottweiler lol.

  13. at my house we use to have 4 shitzu, i think they kinda get attach to their owners and get the owner personality because mine was just like me, like she was a clone of me in dog form, sadly mine die 2 month ago, she was 15yrs old, she was blind, had a heart problem….well she had A LOT of problems and i think is was due to the fact that she was from a puppy milk(Note i didnt bought her my aunt did and then couldn'ttake care of her, kinda abandon her and then give her to me) but i love her with all my heart….im kinda lost without her but im trying anyway shitzu are a great dogs and im thinking of getting another but it is too soon for me

  14. Please I don't have a dog but I want to get one. I need a puppy that does not shed,that does not need much grooming,that has no allergies, that's very light and fury, that is a toy pup and is very cheap. Please help me get some options 🤲🤲🤲🤞🤞.
