shih tzus are awesome dogs, I see a lot of them at work. unlike most small breeds they tend to be very out going, not stand-offish and afraid, or snippy, and very playful, wiggly and sweet. they are the only small breed Id ever own. EDIT: is that a bichon you have? we see lots of them at work too, they are another small breed I like. for the same reasons as the shih tzu, they arent jumpy/snippy or afraid.

as for the odor, that is a slightly founded statement. they are a breed very prone to allergies, and shih tzus who have allergies are prone to yeast infections (more so than other breeds with allergies) and this is what gives them a bad odor. if their allergies are being treated though, the yeast infections with lessen. and of course once the yeast infection is treated the odor will go away.

that was really interesting..thanks, I can see why a smell would get bad... and yes I think they are adorable dogs, but have never been around one, all the other people i know have big dogs..lol..
I love my sammyJ hes really a mutt..Bischon/shi zu..lol..he is the most lovable sweet adorable, and i could go on..lol..smart as a whip and really shows he loves me....lol...
Im so glad you told me about the shizus..so if that is being treated and the allergies are treated no bad smell..a lot of people dont know that I guess..A bischon is a very adorable dog, but i have to keep a close eye on him or he will jump in any car, or try to follow some one he likes off..I am trying to teach him not to do that but my daughter is one person he really loves to and she gets very upset when i correct him..and I said I wont have anohter dog taken by jumping in the car with someone..jsut because he likes car rides..its kinda frustrating..Im not to sure how to handle it she got really upset with me this evening.And i was really upset because he didnt come when i called..and that is the only time he has not come..But thank you for your post so much..glad to hear all that
