What does a Shih Tzu look like?

Shih Tzus are small dogs with a distinct appearance, characterized by a dense, luxurious double coat that hangs straight down. They have a short, broad muzzle with large, dark, round eyes giving them a sweet, warm expression. Their ears are covered with hair and hang down close to their cheeks. The breed is known for its elegant and distinctive gait, and their tail curls over the back, covered in a profuse plume of fur. They typically have a sturdy, compact body, a short neck, and a small head relative to their body size.
