Shih Tzu at a Glance
History & Origin of the Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu ancestors came from Tibetan temple dogs that were gifted to Chinese imperial courts. Palace breeders favoured a small, lion-like companion with a proud carriage and friendly nature. After leaving China in the twentieth century, the breed spread quickly as a household pet.
Shih Tzu Price in India
In India, Shih Tzu prices vary with breeder reputation, city, age, colour demand, health testing and whether KCI papers are provided. Very low prices can mean poor breeding, weak vaccination records or uncertain parentage.
Caring for a Shih Tzu in India
Shih Tzu needs gentle daily movement but should not be pushed hard, especially in heat. Brush several times a week and use a professional groomer when the coat begins to mat. Use measured meals and avoid frequent table scraps, because small dogs gain weight quickly. In most Indian cities, provide shade, fresh water and avoid strenuous activity during hot afternoons.
