About the Breed

About the Shih Tzu

Originally bred exclusively for Chinese imperial royalty, the Shih Tzu carries centuries of companion dog heritage. Their name translates as "Lion Dog", a reference to their magnificent flowing mane, and they bring regal charm and unwavering devotion to modern UAE homes. At Bolt's Family, our Shih Tzu puppies are raised with exceptional care to develop the calm, sociable temperament this breed is famous for. They are one of the lowest-energy breeds available, making them ideal for busy Dubai families who want a devoted companion without intensive exercise requirements.
