The best upcoming games of 2018 (and beyond) It's never too early to start looking ahead - and even though we're still not done with 2017, there's already lots to anticipate in 2018, with plenty of surprise reveals and confirmed release windows for next year (and quite possibly beyond).
In general, dogs will live an average of 12.8 years. However, toy and small breed dogs live longer than medium or large breed dogs. Therefore the Shih Tzu life span has a range of 10 to 16 years. The average is 13 years old. And since this is an approximation, some Tzu can live longer...17, even 18 years. Much the same way that it often happens with humans, females Tzu will - in general â live a bit longer than males â approximately 1.4 years.
One interesting element to note is that the Shih Tzu, in general and per breed standards, is not that much taller than the Yorkie to its left. However, the dog is comparatively much bigger in regard to weight...9-16 pounds compared to 4-7.This is because of the body shape and construction. The Yorkie has a long, straight back. The Shih Tzu is more compact....he has shorter legs and while a shorter back, making for a more compact, almost square dog.ut then at the age of 4 to 5 months, the dog may grow quite a bit. Therefore, unless your Tzu is having eating issues such as refusing to eat, most owners should not be concerned about growth during this time. It is an up and down time...and it is most difficult to know what the ending adult size will be.
