8. Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a delightful companion known for its affectionate nature and adaptability to both apartments and larger homes.
While their beautiful coat requires regular brushing to prevent tangles, many owners opt for a shorter “puppy cut” to simplify grooming.
Shih Tzus don’t need intense exercise—short walks and indoor play are usually plenty to keep them happy.
Their loving disposition and moderate activity requirements make them ideal for busy owners.
