Should I choose a Boy or Girl?
When it comes to boy-vs-girl, Shih tzu are a very unique breed and they have been solely been bred to be companions! We see less gender linked tendencies in Shih Tzu in comparison to other breeds. Each Shih Tzu puppy has an individual personalities which may or may not be gender linked. We also find that parents temperaments influence their puppies. Some Shih Tzu are more couch potatoes and some love to run and play! We are happy to describe each puppies parent personality to you. Puppies personalities do not start showing until around 7 weeks old. We have found that once they join their new families their personalities will adapt to fit into their families lifestyle. We want to help fine best puppy fit for your family.
We encourage you to consider both genders and individual personalities when selecting your new family member. We do see some personality differences between males and females but when choosing it generally comes down to personal gender preference. The easiest way to look at it is that the little girls love you but the little boys are in love with you.
The saying goes that Shih Tzu come in pairs and we love to place our little ones together! If considering the addition of a second Shih Tzu or third, most people generally go with the same gender as they tend to get along better that way. But that is not always the case. Both genders get along well with other dogs, especially other Shih Tzu and most are fairly good with the introduction of a young puppy to the family. Shih Tzu are first and foremost a companion dog and the love to have friends!
