My shihtzus Manchu & Sugarfaye are so much fun!! Extremely smart affectionate, they love to be with you, regardless where you are going. they love all kids and other dogs. they are with me all the time. Make sure you do groom daily, they really do need it-easy to get a routine established-plus the dogs enjoy feeling brushed & cleaned.
