How much exercise should a Shih Tzu usually get? |
My 10 weeks old Shih Tzu puppy don't like to go out for walks, although I tried to walk him twice a day. He would walk a few step and just start sleeping on the grass. During the day, my son wanted to play with him, but all he does is belly flops. I thought puppy is usually very playful and energetic. This puppy I have doesn't like to move around at all, is this common for this breed of dog? i have been reading about shih tzus and yours is a puppy, he would only want to play a little bit and mostly sleep. he'll get better in a few weeks. He only also requires short walks (20-30mins) per day. My shih tzu only started getting energetic about 2 weeks ago and and she's 14 wks old now.. she still sleeps a lot but not as much as before.. NO!!! it is not common at all. shih-tzu's are usually VERY energetic and playful. he should be chasing a ball,playing with toys ,they dont like long walks,is he eating drinking ok.i would get him checked over by a vet incase,has he had his jabs,if not might have got a bug I would definitely be concerned if your dog does nothing but sleep. Your puppy should be playful! I think you should take your puppy to the vet and get him checked out. Good luck! |
