I am getting a puppy?

I have a shih tzu puppy, we haven't had any problems with him other than lately he has thrown up almost daily but i do know with smaller dogs it is very important to keep them groomed and they are inside dogs and not outside dogs. They are very loyal and very sweet.

i own a yorkie and a shih tzu.

they both have allergies, and some shih tzus have breathing problems.

and when you walk them, you have to have a harness because they have something in their throat that's thin.

Your biggest battle will be the grooming requirements. As for cleaning teeth, my dogs eat dentabones, rawhides, pigs ears, real bones, etc. All that stuff is meant for cleaning teeth.

small dogs usually need their teeth cleaned more often and are more prone to broken bones.
