Other colors include black mask gold, black and white, solid black, solid liver, liver and white, brindle, white, red and white, and grey and white. Thus, when two Shih Tzu mate, there is a possibility that their offspring's coat will be similar to the sire's color, dam's color, tricolor, or a mix of both parents' color in one classification. The Shih Tzu is non sheding and considered hypoallergenic. Their coats continue to grow and is a long flowing double coat and is its most distinctive feature.

Temperament: Athough an individual Shih Tzu's temperament varies from dog to dog, the breed has a personality and temperament that is loyal, affectionate, outgoing, and alert. While the Shih Tzu is an excellent watch dog because of its alert and active nature, it was not specifically bred for this purpose.

Care/Training: The Shih Tzu requires minimal exercise. Shih Tzu's are found to be somewhat active. Shih Tzu's will be satisfied with daily walks and indoor playtime. You will find your dog trying to charm and kiss you into letting him have his own way. Shih Tzu's are such people dogs, praise and rewards are more effective than punishment. Introduce desired new behaviors a bit at a time, be firm, and never give in while your dog is misbehaving. If he nips or jumps up on you, ignore him until he settles down, then praise him.
