I'm a bit late, but congratulations!!!
You can definatly bath him now, it is a GOOD idea to bath him young and get him used to it, and also brushing, as he'll definatly need to get used to both.
I have always used Johnson's baby shampoo until they were all about a year old! It's very mild on skin, and eyes(incase of an accident!).
Shih-tzus are great dogs, I would die without ours, he has more personality than the other dogs and cats put together!!
The only thing I would suggest is to socialize, socialize, SOCIALIZE!!! That's one thing we didn't do with ours and now he's 3 years old and we have an aggression problem on our hands that could have been avoided with some extra training and socialization!
Good Luck and Congrats again!
