Does Shih tzu dogs make good pets with children?
Answers:
Yes! They are awesome! My neighbour has one and breeds it. There are tons of kids on the street and the dog loves them! Plus they don't shed! Less clean up for you.
Definitely. They are child friendly.

BTW, are you computer-retarded? Yahoo and Google are your friends.
It depends on how old the dog is, the dog realy needs to grow with the children
yes, they are extremely friendly. my best friend has one and so does my aunt. My aunt brings hers to all our family get togethers and there are kids there from 1 month up to 23. so by what i can tell they get along with all ages.
Get a labrador or retriever. They're not as smart as other dogs, but they have a lot of energy to play with 4 kids. Shih tzu's can be hyper and snappy.
I have one and also have a seven and three year old sons. The dog is very friendly and loving. he loves to run and chase my boys and they play well together. Shih tzu's are very calm well mannered dogs. I will warn you though they can be a little tough to house break. Just be patient they will get the hang of it.
WE LOVE OURS!! I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, 5 AND 9 YEARS OLD. WE'VE HAD BELLE (THE DOG) FOR 2 YEARS AND SHE IS ADORABLE. VERY LOVING, AFFECTIONATE, NON-AGGRESSIVE, SMALL..GREAT CHOICE!
first of all who are u adopting the dog for cause remember children will be unresponsable and any dog is a good pet if u dont abuse it and yes shitzu are good i had one and they are sweet
It's not so much how friendly is the dog, but how your children respect the dog. Statistics show that the majority of dog bites to children's faces come from small dogs when the child picks it up or plays too roughly with it. Shih Tzu's are small, very friendly dogs and fit into families very well, so you should have no problems provided you teach the kids what and what not to do with a pet dog. Enjoy your new pet, it will bring a whole new meaning to you and your family's life.
My daughter has a 15 month old and they have a shih tzu. The dog is so mellow and just lies there while granddaugher hugs and pets on it.
yes, I bought one when my daughter was 1 She pulled and draged that dog everywhere. The dog even would sleep in her room instead of ares. Some one stold her last christmas and my daughter is still looking for her best friend. The only thing about shih tzu is the when they get up set at you they do to the bathroom on your bed. When I got pregnent with my son, the dog would go pee on my side of the bed only (totaling potty trained) when I left the house.
they are great dogs around children. I have one, and he is adorable. When we got him, my brother was 6 years old, and he was fine around him.
Yes they are friendly, lively little dogs. It would work out well. I have one and she is great. My grandchildren are 8 and 10 never had a bit of trouble.
my shih tzu hates children and doesn't really like anyone much apart from me.
I've had 2 shih tzu's and they were the best dogs I ever had. I had mine since they were very young until they were 16 so I was able to train them from a pup. I never had any problems and they were the friendliest, softest, cuddliest dogs ever.
However, I know that some Shih Tzu's can be snappy, but I'm sure if you have one and have the patience to train him/her (one of mine was stubborn to train but I got there eventually!), I'm sure you'll end up with a lovely family pet.
