A small, affectionate companion built for family life. Raised at Cimarron Kennel, vet-checked and ready to meet their new family.
Real Cimarron pupAbout the Shih Tzu
Bred centuries ago as a palace companion, the Shih Tzu's entire purpose is to be near you. They're calm, affectionate and adapt beautifully to apartment living, making them one of our most requested companion breeds for smaller Chikmagalur homes.
Because their flowing double coat is part of the breed's charm, we walk every new owner through a simple grooming routine so the coat stays healthy and mat-free from week one.

Shih Tzu FAQs
Common questions from families bringing home a Shih Tzu.
Yes — their long double coat needs brushing every 1–2 days to prevent matting, plus a trim every 6–8 weeks. Many owners keep the coat in an easier-care 'puppy cut'.
Very much so. They're low-energy indoors and don't need a yard, though they still enjoy a short daily walk.
Not particularly — their short muzzle makes them sensitive to hot, humid conditions, so exercise is best in the cooler parts of the day.
Yes, they're typically gentle and enjoy attention, though as with any small breed, play with young children is best supervised.
