I have a Lhasa Apso, very similar breed to the Shihtzu's.
Lovely breed of dog, little fluffballs I like to refer to them as.
As a puppy they are absolutely adorable too.
They are fine around children, so long as they aren't smothered and annoyed
Otherwise they will nip at you.
And their teeth can be quite sharp once they get past the age of about 3/4.
They like to have their own space a fair bit.
This is the same for my mates two Lhasa's as well.
Shihtzu's temperament may be a bit tamer though than a Lhasa's?
I'd be surprised if this was the case though.
