| My mother recently passed, so I gave my 5 year old Shih tzu to my father for company out in Los Angeles. Payton (my shih tzu) is a great pet, very calm, and was even when he was a puppy. Their temperaments are so different from the Yorkie. He wasn't necessarily a cuddler, more of a "contact" dog. He was fine to just lay up against your foot or leg. But he was an independent boy, fine by himself or with others. I have two children that basically grew up with Payton, and they got along perfectly. My daughter thought he was her own personal baby doll and poor Payton was stuffed in all types of outfits, and never did he snap at her. He was a sturdy dog, 11 pounds but still quite small. Compact. Slept through the night from the very beginning. Only barked when someone rang the doorbell. I miss my boy. You'll enjoy your Shih tzu, believe me. Oh yeah, the potty training took about 8 months to get to the point where I trusted him fully in our home, but once he got it, we NEVER had accidents. He could hold his peepee like a champ.

| Yeah, but no harder than the Yorkie. As a matter of fact, Payton wouldn't use the potty in the crate.....that may be because he was larger at 8 weeks than my Cali is. Payton was already 4 lbs. Cali was only 1.3 lbs. She is now 2.1 lbs. and still has absolutely no problem pottying in the crate. Drives me crazy. I believe the Shih tzu are quite smart, though. So they get the idea eventually.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I have one and he will be 2 in March. Laziest thing I have ever seen. I have to force him to go outside to use the bathroom. If I don't go with him he will go on the porch..no kidding. If I take him in the yard he beats me back to the porch. He gets mad at my Yorkie when she is playing with her toys and making noise. All that said he still is a great dog.

| That's the one thing I've been thinking about for quite a while... buying a Shi-Tzu... usually people talk wonders about the breed, but I wanted to know their "dark side" too (if there's any... ) My hubby doesn't like the idea of having a Shi-Tzu, but I'm working it on him Ps: We already have 1 yorkie girl and a friend of mine gave us another yorkie girl... |

Oh, but the snoring is kinda cute. We always thought that Payton's snoring meant he was content and comfortable. Man, I really miss Payton.
