Hello all! This is my first post. I am overwhelmed by how much information is on this amazing site. It's possible my question has already been answered somewhere on this message board, if so, simply directing me to the past discussion would be wonderful.
My wonderful, loyal, handsome Shih Tzu male of 10 years recently passed away. His name was Bazl, and he was my shadow. Always at my side.
Surviving him is his sister, Chloe. She's a snuggle bear and a licker. Also a trouble maker.
In a year or two, I'd like to get another male. However, rather than another Shih Tzu, I'm considering a Pug.
I love everything about Shih Tzus. However, for a couple reasons, I always keep their hair short. In the early years, we paid to have them cut, but over the past 7-8 years, I cut them myself.
But that's not the main reason I'm considering a Pug. Before I got my first two Shih Tzus, I was considering two Pugs.
So, has anyone here at DF owned both breeds? How would you compare them? My two Shih Tzus were different, so I understand all individuals are different.
Oddly enough, the two traits I valued most with my Shih Tzus were their companionship (though the male was more my shadow than the female is) and, at the same time, their independence. They could entertain themselves.
All feedback is welcome!
Cheers,
Soupie
