The Shih Tzu grows a long, dense double coat of soft hair that keeps growing and mats readily behind the ears, in the armpits, under the collar, and along the belly. Pets usually wear a puppy cut; show dogs a topknot to keep hair out of the eyes. Plan on eye-area cleaning, ear plucking, and a sanitary and foot trim.
