Shih Tzus

Question
Can you tell me basic information about Shih Tzus. Such as What kinds of health problems do they have.

Answer
Shih Tzus are usually very good tempered dogs.  Very different from the similar looking Lhasa Apso. Lhasa's are usually very tempermental.  Shih Tzus usually love everyone.  I don't know of any pronounced health problems. Sometimes they do suffer from weepy eyes which tends to give them a smelly face. This can be helped allot by keeping the hair around the eyes short. They do require regular grooming or they will become long and matted.  In general they are very good dogs.
