The Shitzu dog is not one to get if you are not someone that is going to enjoy grooming the dog on a regular basis.

This cheerful and social dog is one that loves attention no matter who it is coming from. While the Shitzu dog is not prone to a lot of barking, they are dogs that show a lot of stubbornness. They really do not like learning a lot of tricks but they can be trained with patience as they will take a little longer to master tricks. This has nothing to do with their ability to learn but rather their disinterest in doing so. Another great thing about the personality of this breed is that since they love company, they do well with children and other pets.

Besides the cuteness that this dog has and their social ability, the Shitzu dog is also known for barely shedding any hair.

No longer do you have to avoid the idea of owning a dog because of your allergies. If you are ready to care and love a dog that will give you as much love back then this is the breed for you. Whether you have a house or a small apartment, the Shitzu will fit in.
