A Shih Apso is is loyal and affectionate. It bonds closely with its owners and strives to please. It loves to follow, watch and participate. This breed is great with children and make great companions for the elderly. Some may be temperamental around strangers.
Shih apso need to groomed quite often as their hair get may become matted and get knots in it known such as dreadlocks. Is very important that you get your shih apso groomed often as they have two coats the undercoat curly where as the top coat is long. Shih apso should be groomed every 6 weeks if you can not do this then make sure you take them to a professional groomer this is also good to do anyway. A good thing to having a shih apso is that they do not shed like other dogs meaning they are good for people with allergies or people who do not like dog hair everywhere.

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape.
