When considering a dog breed, it's helpful to compare shedding patterns. Here's how Shih Tzus stack up against other popular breeds:
- Poodle: Poodles are known for their low shedding and are often crossbred with Shih Tzus to create hypoallergenic hybrids.
- Bichon Frise: Like Shih Tzus, Bichon Frises shed minimally but require regular grooming.
- Golden Retriever: Golden Retrievers shed heavily, making them a poor choice for those sensitive to dog hair.
