For these Shih Tzu it is like a necessity to provide them with something extra for those cold, blistery days outside. Outer garments will help the Shih Tzu to retain their body heat in colder temperatures.
Once the Shih Tzu’s coat is ruined or let go almost beyond repair, the Shih Tzu’s coat take endless time and energy to restore to its original beauty. Therefore, it is wise to take a little time each day to keep your Shih Tzu’s hair in top condition. This, of course, is especially true if a Shih Tzu is to be presented in the show ring.
Shih Tzu puppies can become colicky just like human newborn babies. Be careful about allowing a Shih Tzu puppy to ingest air when either tube or bottle feeding. Always turn the bottle and nipple end down, before offering it to the Shih Tzu puppy. All the air in the bottle will rise to the solid end. When the Shih Tzu puppy is nursing freely bubbles rise in the bottle. The bubble flow should be fairly rapid, small and uniform in size, rising in even response to the Shih Tzu puppy’s nursing. If the bubbles are large the Shih Tzu puppy may also be ingesting air. Check the nipple cap.
These Shih Tzu will require extra patience and most likely extra work on your part to actually get them groomed.

Of course, no human in their right mind would ever eat feces, although this has occurred in the human race as well. A human eating feces, however, is very abnormal and is a reason to seek help for that individual as soon as possible. A human that eats feces is definitely mentally disturbed. Dogs are animals. They are not humans regardless of how much people domesticate them, they are still animals and will always carry some of their animal instincts with them wherever they go, and for as long as they live.
