This popular breed gets its name from the Mandarin phrase “Shih Tzu” meaning “Little Lion”. And what a fitting name, given their long hair and spunky personality! This lively puppy loves affection and a good cuddle, but also doesn’t mind being independent. They walk with an air of royalty, perhaps because they were the chosen breed to accompany Chinese emperors. They are fiercely loyal and happiest when by your side. These puppies are perfect for older couples and don’t mind other pets, as long as they don’t take away from their cuddle time with their owners. This breed remains small at 9 to 16 lbs and lives up to 16 years old.

Ontario is a largely pet-friendly place where it’s easy to have fun with your dog outdoors and away from home. Dog-friendly beaches, parks, hiking trails, campgrounds, hotels, restaurants and even tour groups abound in Canada’s second-largest province. The history of dogs in Ontario and throughout Canada is a long one, as Native people were the first to domesticate them in this part of the world thousands of years ago. The Canadian Kennel Club recognizes five pure Canadian breeds: the Tahltan bear dog, the Canadian Inuit dog, the Nova Scotia duck-tolling retriever, the Newfoundland dog and the Labrador Retriever.
Ontarians favourite breed of dog is the Labrador Retriever.
The City of Toronto puts out Green Bins in dog parks especially for compostable, nutrient-rich dog poo!
There are 7.7 million pet dogs in Canada, and about 230,000 of them live in Toronto.
