Shih Tzu and Qila Darhal's climate

This is the part most new owners underestimate. Qila Darhal is cool hill — winters get genuinely cold, so warmth and joint care take priority — and for a small dog that is the single biggest practical factor. Smaller breeds cope better with the heat but dehydrate faster, so water access matters more than pace. Check paws for cracking and ice between toes during the coldest months.
