The Shih Tzu is a small 'toy dog' which has Eastern origins and is sometimes called the Small Lion or Chrysanthemum Dog. The average litter size is 5, but it could have 6 or 7, or conversely 3-4, since the figure of five is the average number.
The Shih Tzu is a dog which does not have fur, but is long haired and many shed their hair frequently, so if you are considering having a dog of this type, then you need to be prepared to vacuum regularly.
The average life span of the Shih Tzu is 9-15 years but many can be pronne to some respitary problems throughout their later years. However, on the plus side, because they are so small, they are relatively cheap to feed. A good 'quality' puppy will cost between £400-550 although there are many available from Rescue Shelters.

I also known that my puppy came in a litter of 12 pups and that some Shih Tzus live to be 20.

The ansewer above is somwhat wrong. "The Shih Tzu is a dog which does not have fur, but is long haired and many shed their hair frequently, so if you are considering having a dog of this type, then you need to be prepared to vacuum regulary" I own a Shih Tzu and the only time she has ever shed is when she is sheding for the summer or if its her belly hair when she's about to have puppies. The eastern origin is Tibeten. They also have as many puppies as 12 that is the size of the litter she was born in. So I hope this cleared things up.
