Is a Shih Tzu a good fit for Sutrapada?

Look past the breed guide for a moment. Sutrapada is warm and arid, summers are long and intense, so heat management is the single biggest priority, and homes tend to have their own plot. Put those together and a small breed is comfortable in the space a town home usually offers. That combination, not the breed standard, is what owners here actually live with. Watch for signs of overheating — heavy panting, drooling or lethargy — during peak afternoons.
