Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu dogs are both beautiful inside and out. They have an animated character that is hard to ignore. They go well with young children and cats because of their playful and gentle personality. A rare trait of this breed is that an owner can leave it alone for long periods. However, once the dog catches you, he tends to be clingy. Regular trips to the groomer are needed. These dogs stand 8 inches to 11 inches and weigh from 9 inches to 16 lbs.
