Shih Tzu | Tricolor | Ozili

Is a Shih Tzu a good fit for Ozili?

Two things decide this, and neither is the breed itself: what the housing looks like and what the weather does. Most homes in Ozili come with their own ground, so a small breed is comfortable in the space a town home usually offers. And since the sea-influenced humidity makes ventilation and dry bedding important, the daily routine ends up mattering more than the floor space. Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.

Exercise and daily routine in Ozili

Build the day around Ozili's conditions rather than a number from a breed chart.

Shih Tzu and Ozili's climate

This is the part most new owners underestimate. Ozili is warm and humid — the sea-influenced humidity makes ventilation and dry bedding important — and for a small dog that is the single biggest practical factor.

Birds need stable temperatures and no draughts. Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.

Costs beyond the purchase
