Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a small dog with a long, distinguished history as a treasured companion of Chinese royalty — and one look through this gallery makes it abundantly clear why they were held in such high regard. With their luxuriously long, silky coat that flows beautifully around a compact, sturdy little body, and that sweet, round face framed by wide dark eyes and a short pushed-in muzzle that radiates warmth and gentle mischief in equal measure, Shih Tzus are among the most photogenic and purely lovable small breeds in the world.
