Breed Information

Overview

A Shih Tzu Mix is not a purebred dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed.

A Shih Tzu Mix is a cross between a Shih Tzu and another dog breed. Since a mix can take on any combination of traits from one or both of their parent breeds, it’s important to ask the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix. Should a Shih Tzu Mix take after their Shih Tzu parent, they will be a small, affectionate, and loving companion dog that loves nothing more than being around their favorite humans.

Temperament

Shih Tzus are affectionate, friendly, and social dogs. They are known to have a cheerful disposition and to get along with children, other pets, and other dogs. They are also known to have a mischievous streak at times. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you can likely expect the same from a Shih Tzu Mix. You do still want to ask the breeder about them as they will introduce their own quirks and traits. You can also meet the mother in person to see what temperament she has and what she is modeling for her puppies. Although the breeder should have started some socialization and training, it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home.
