Shih Tzu Grooming Cuts

The Shih Tzu is a very popular and attractive show dog. However, grooming for your shih tzu can be very time-consuming and expensive but rewarding. In addition, to your daily maintenance, you will need the help of a professional groomer on a regular basis and this can be costly. Grooming cuts for Shih Tzus vary depending on the type of look you want. You may want the long or full-length coat style with everything long except the pads of the feet and eyelids. You can also have a layered look with the hair in the face shorter than the rest of the body.
