2. Striking paws

This semi-lion hairstyle is a great choice for Shih Tzus. Most of the coat is cut short. The paws are styled to create an appearance of small cones. This haircut is easier to take care of than the very long one but it still looks fabulous.

3. Shih Tzus with Ponytails

Thanks to the long fur, Shih Tzu haircuts can look striking with various accessories. If you like innovative experiments, use elastic bands to make your dog look stunning. Ponytails are a great way to keep long hair neat.
