COAT AND COLOR

There is no set standard for coat color in the Shih Tzu as any color and any variations in color are acceptable. The most recognizable colors are the gold and white or the black and white, but the solid gold color variety is the most popular amongst Shih Tzu owners. Very rarely will there be a solid white Shih Tzu in a litter. They will usually have “tips” on their coats, usually on the ears or back. Their coat should be a long, flowing, straight double coat without wave or a single coat.
