Why is a Shih Tzu called a Shih Tzu

Why is the Shih Tzu called Shih Tzu? The Shih Tzu used to live in the palace, when dog breeds were not as numerous as today, so the sweet features, gentle personality, and small body of the Shih Tzu’s face at that time no dog comparable, so it was crowned the first of the four beautiful “Shih Tzu” reputation. Despite their name, Shih Tzus are not easy to keep. The Shih Tzu’s coat is thick, rich and long and needs to be fed every 1 to 2 days to keep the long hair smooth, loose and silky to prevent tangles. Shih Tzu is both an excellent play dog and a typical companion dog best suited for home life. If it encounters special circumstances, it can also play the hard-working characteristics of a working dog, so it is universally welcomed by people.
