An ancient breed, with a history rooted in the Far East and Tibet, the Shih Tzu is known for its flowing coat, elegant good looks, and delightful personality. Loving, sweet, yet full of personality and spunk! If you've ever spent time with a Shih Tzu it is easy to see why they are so adored by the people lucky enough to share their lives with them.
Many toy breeds and most of the flatter-faced dog breeds have a marked tendency toward having a dry or even crusty nose. The Shih Tzu ticks both of those boxes...toy breed and flat face (an adorable flat face, we must say).
