My sister used papers which I'm totally against. To this day if there is a magazine or papers in the floor she will pee on them. Which horrifies my son. He loves magazines, and he has new carpet in his bedroom so, I make him keep his door closed. Because she also has ruined the carpet in our room. Now that she is 14 it is worse but, I rarely get on to her for it because of her age. This may be the exception not the norm. Just something to think about. I will never have another Shih Tzu because of this but that is just my preference. I'm rambling so don't take offense. This is just my experience with the breed.

no offense taken at all.. my mother's co-worker.. or my co-worker (we worked together).. has 2 shih tzu's and they are completely potty trained. and the other one my friend has is very obedient(he's the one in the picture).. I think it just depends on the dog itself and the person handling him/her.
thanks for all the comments everyone!
