We just hit 60K members here on r/Shihtzu and Iā€™ve updated the subreddit banner to celebrate! Head to the main page to check out the newest collage featuring some of our favorite fluffballsā€”including a few of our communityā€™s Tzu celebrities like Seixo and Wowo šŸ’«

Huge thanks to everyone who sent in photosā€”this subreddit is honestly one of the kindest, cutest corners of Reddit and it's all because of you (and your pups).

If your Tzu didnā€™t make it into this banner, donā€™t worry ā€” we'll create another banner once we hit 75,000 users! Thereā€™s always room for more cuteness.

Give your pup an extra cuddle todayā€”Riley would've wanted that šŸ’›

This is Barney, aged 12 years old. Heā€™s had a lot of eye problems and has eventually had to have both removed. Best thing I ever did for him, heā€™s pain free and loving life. So proud of how heā€™s coped šŸ«¶šŸ»šŸ„°šŸ¶

Such a smarty pants!

He's got: - bed - heel - sit - lay down - come (so so lol) - back it up

Still working on: - stay - stand - front - settle

He's also got 2 buttons: - "scratches" which he's mastered lol - "potty" to alert us he needs to go outside and we're starting to see him use it this week!

He came potty trained on a pee pad from the breeder, so we're finally pulling those up to get him focused on the door instead.

We save the best treats for successful potties outside. The rest of his training is done with his kibble so he's super motivated and focused.

What are some other really useful commands to teach at this stage??

Tzu Questions Dogā€™s paws

Post image
108 Upvotes

Hi. My shihtzu is 4. His paws have recently become pink, they used to be black. I dont think the pinkness is due to an infection, idk if the paws are damaged or what. I apply paw balm almost daily and also make him wear shoes during his walks. Still hos paws are losing color and are becoming pink. My groomer told me that it is not a good sign according to him tjis happens when paws are torn and the skin underneath is exposed which is very pink and raw and that it will cause a lot pf trouble in the future.

Please help

Hades, at 16 month, is a BIG boy. He weight 17 kg (~37,5 lb) and is 43 cm tall (16,9 inches) but is in good shape according to the vet (a bit overweight, though).

Imagine getting a random email of a Tzu sticking their tongue out.

A few of them already know about my Tzu, though.

I may be locked up pretty soon....
