Sheltzu

Sheltzu

The Sheltzu is a devoted, people-focused companion with the alertness and confidence of a shepherd softened by the sweet, cuddly charm of a Shih Tzu. They tend to be affectionate, watchful, and surprisingly adaptable, usually happiest when they can stay close to their family and join in everyday activity. Their coat is typically plush and medium-length, and while they can be playful and eager to learn, they often have a charming stubborn streak that makes patient training important.
