About Xandie
I have a lot of adventures planned for you and me. Are you the lucky one for me? I sure hope so! My name is Xandie and I’m a cutie. I love to share, and I’m good at it, too. If you like, you can cuddle with me in my doggy bed on those cold nights. I’ll make plenty of room for you. You can take me for long walks. I’ll be the center of attention with my shinny coat and brilliant personality. When I arrive to my new home, I will be up to date on my puppy vaccinations and vet checked from head to tail. Don’t miss out on me!
About Shih Tzus
The Shih-Tzu is one of the oldest dog breeds, originating in Tibet thousands of years ago. Known as the “lion dog”, these small lap dogs were prized by royalty as household pets. Shih-Tzus are affectionate companion and family animals, known to live long, healthy lives. They prefer to be indoors and, while often docile and quiet, are also playful and spunky. They become very attached to their owners and love to be spoiled. Because of their small size (they typically weigh in at 10-15 lbs.), Shih-Tzus are well suited for most living spaces, large or small.
Overview

In this section, we will cover all feeding guidelines for Shih Tzu puppies and dogs.
Home Made Dog Food
You may want to opt for the route of home cooking, and this can be a good choice if preparing meals is something that you enjoy doing.
