About the Silky Tzu
The Silky Tzu is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Silky Terrier. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Silky Tzu is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Health
The Silky Tzu is prone to eye infections and will require frequent cleaning of the eyes. Its best to wipe the eyes daily as discharge builds up. Some have respiratory issues and are known to breath heavy, make noise and snore. Others are known for their sensitive stomachs. Ear infections are another common problem in this breed. An owner can identify an ear infection when the Silky Tzu is consistently shaking its head and scratching at its ears.
Maintenance
The Silky Tzu requires frequent brushing and cleaning of the ears. Most owners choose to keep its belly hair and mouth hair short year round. Bathe as needed.
Ideal Environment
The Silky Tzu prefers a cool environment and may overheat if not kept cool during summer months.
