Is Shih Tzu a low-maintenance dog?

No, Shih Tzus are not considered a low-maintenance dog, but they’re not extremely high-maintenance, either. Shih Tzus generally require moderate maintenance due to their long coats, which need regular grooming and brushing to avoid tangles and matting. While they may need a fair amount of care in terms of grooming, they adapt well to apartment living , making them easy to manage in other aspects.
