How to trim the hair of a Shih Tzu? The hair of a Shih Tzu is combed backwards to the knot, the front legs are cut to the ankles, and the waist line is cut between the front and rear legs; the back of the Shih Tzu is cut flat, the butt is an apple butt, and the legs are modified into Chicken leg shape; pinch the Shih Tzu's ears with your hands and cut the tips of the ears horizontally.

1. The Shih Tzu dog has modified foot lines and thin feet. Cut the hocks thinly to make the legs look very thin. The back hair is combed to the midsection and the front legs are cut to the ankles.

2. The waistline of the Shih Tzu is trimmed in the middle of the body, that is, between the front and rear legs.

3. Modify the outer coat of the Shih Tzu. First, trim the shape roughly. The legs should be like drumsticks.

4. Use dental scissors to modify from the root of the tail to the tail (about 1 inch long).

5. Cut the back flat (from the back of the feet to the root of the tail) (horizontally) and modify it into a chicken leg shape, and the butt is like an apple butt.

6. Repair from the waistline forward. Except for Bichon Frize whose waist cannot be seen from above, all the rest must be modified with waistline. For Pomeranian competition, only the foot lines will be trimmed, and the rest of the hair will not be trimmed.

7. Cut the hair on the waist and abdomen neatly.

8. Connect the head to the waist, comb the hair in the opposite direction, and make an arch from the blade to the occiput. The neck is only slightly modified, and it seems that the neck cannot be seen.

9. The hair on the top of the Shih Tzu dog’s head is smoothed, with slightly diagonal lines on both sides.

10. Comb the hair on the Shih Tzu's chest smoothly, modify the ends into a round shape, and trim them with dental clippers.

11. Trim the Shih Tzu’s ears. Hold the ears with your hands and cut the tips of the ears horizontally.

12. Comb the Shih Tzu’s tail with a straight comb, cut off the tip of the tail, and stick it to the back into a fan shape.
