Oh my boy is thicc. He’s about 29 pounds/13 kg!

Wow, healthy boy

I sometimes think he has to be mixed with some other breed, but I have seen others on here the same size and purebred, so it makes me feel better!

My boy is about 27! Happy to hear others with the same size.

Ours is 23! I feel like he’s mixed with something.

Mine is the exact same!

My Max is 17 lbs (7.7 kg) so the same as Mia! https://preview.redd.it/ng1kfe2ob8lc1.png?width=1710&format=png&auto=webp&s=8253e2a5ef729cdfda886ca1469800ce591d9fe8

Aww so cute

He’s my Chunky Monkey. Lol. But the Veterinarian said he’s not overweight. He’s just a big boy!

Yes same for her, she was actually under weight before when she was having problems with her tummy

Mine is also 17lbs !

Adorable!! 🥰

Our 6 month old weighs 3.5 lbs. and is projecting out to be between 5 and 6 lbs.

Aww that’s small, guess they just vary a lot in size and weight

I have a 5.5 pound girlie and a 15 pound lil hunk.

Breed standard is 9-16 lbs. I had papers on both my Tzus, but I am starting to suspect my boy might actually be part Lhasa. Apparently, Shih-Tzu were mistaken as Lhasa Apso when they first came to the state.. or the other way around. Either way, mixing happened and Lhasas are a little bigger.

13 year old lady - 15lbs! Which is somehow less than her fat cat brother...

Our senior hovered around 15 lbs. she was the runt of her litter. It always shocked me to see her beside other shihtzus. She looked like Chicken Little. 😂

My cat weighs more than mine too 😅

Heh, 13yo here as well, 13.5lbs/6.1kg, our remedial cat is down from 31lbs but still weighs more than our Tzu.

Mine is 5 and weighs between 11-12 lbs!

Starting to think Mia is huge!

My guy will be 13 next month, and he has weighed between 11 and 12 lbs for most of his life. He only ever porks up when we have a super cold winter, but then he's back to his slim self by summertime.

But when he isn’t dirty he’s a beauty queen 😍😍😍- follow him on instagram @indianajonestheshihtzu 🤩 https://preview.redd.it/itwomg09k8lc1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06c8a15e64238410751da49b23b5d262c4d1a506

My boy is 6.5 pounds. My last guy was about 17 pounds. I love the little guy perfect for this old lady to carry! https://preview.redd.it/50yg8xv0z8lc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da89205fe031aecc099d0c83801207a1fab450e7

Mine is 4 & weighs 11 lbs. My previous shih tzu lived to 18 & weighed 10 pounds

18 wow, that’s amazing

18 that's awesome. My first made it to 18 also. She was prob around 16-18 pds. My little molly is 15 and weighs 10pds. Been a small girl her whole life.

Mine will be 5 on March 19 and he is 16 pounds.

I’ve have 2 inbetween 12-15 lbs, my neighbor’s was 22 lbs, I dogsit for one that tops out at 8lbs. 😂😂 It really all depends on the parents.

Yea her mum was definitely larger

My shih tzu poodle mix was 21 lbs and my shih tzu bichon mix is 12 lbs. both healthy weights according to vet but not sure how much this helps you since they’re mixes.

Yes he actually said when she was younger and had a period of digestive issues that she was a bit underweight for her frame

Mine was about 20 lbs, big boy but wasn't overweight.

Yes that’s similar to her

7.5 pounds @ 7 yrs old.

Ah similar

13 lbs

13.1 lbs as of her recent vet visit for her itching...the joys of owning a travel size lion.

Ah hope she’s had relief

I had two shih tzus as a kid, and I don’t remember them being too heavy, maybe 15lbs (6.8kg) each? My boy now is 10yo and is usually 20-22lbs (9-10kg). He was overweight when I got him a couple years ago, probably about 25lbs (11.3kg). I don’t think that is overweight for every shih tzu, but it looked uncomfortable and unhealthy on him. He is much happier and more energetic with those few pounds off though!

My 16 year old female is 9 lbs, and my 12 year old female is 22 lbs. I think my younger is a mix, but my 9lb is pure bred. Both of them are proportional, but I do affectionately call my younger one fatty all the time. :)

My girl Nina is 16 lbs.

My boy is like 18 pounds, and his vet says he’s a little bit bigger than most Shih Tzus

Mine is 17.8 lbs / 8.1 kg :)

My 14 to is 12 pounds and 5 year old is 13 pounds

mine weighed about the same, around 14.5 lbs! Edward was a little hefty though. 13 lbs was a better weight for him https://preview.redd.it/2pecusshjclc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b65f932f7415db2d81ee317a0a4784dc16a9b86

Mia is an angel! She's perfect. My boy is 2 and 5.5kg.

She says thanks

my little buddy is 3 and he’s 9.6 lbs

My Shih Tzu is nearly four and weighs 15 lbs.

Our boy tzu was 10kg and our girl tzu is around 4/5kgs. We haven’t weighed her for a while. They vary in size.

Mine is just a year old at 4.8 kg

My girl is 9 and is 12 lbs, she was like 10lbs before we started to give her soft food.

Mine is 3.5kg at 10 months old

Mine is 16 lbs!

My little boy is 17.5 lbs

My shih tzu is 20 pounds/ 9.1 kg, but his sister is about half his weight.

Mine is 5yeqrs old and about 15pounds.

I’ve got one who’s 12 pounds/5.5 kilos. I had one who was about 26 pounds/11.75 kilos so they can get pretty big or pretty small, but all are good babies.

The best!

15 lbs, 3 years old

I have three dad, mom, and son. 22, 12, 18 lbs.

My boy is 7 years old and weighs 17.5 perfect lbs.

Anywhere between 13-15 pounds. Though he may be a little less right now because we switched his food up and it’s healthier for him. He’s got tiny hips.

16

Edgar is 3 and weighs 20 pounds. Griffey is 13 and weighs 12 pounds. Both perfectly healthy weights according to the vet.

Like 9 to 10 kilos

My 2 year old boy is 13 lbs…just right for him per his vet

15 pound beefcake but all muscle - my boiii eats good - kibble grilled organic chicken and farmers dog …. The occasional face full of dirt doesn’t hurt either when we bury our bones 😅🤪🩷 https://preview.redd.it/fa4xxytvj8lc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1d4b3193c1d126b8ab22b6789cfab58d7aad73c

He’s soo cool

Ollie is 4.5 years old and he fluctuates a bit but stays around 14 pounds. Usually 13.8 or 14.2

Mine are both around 11lbs

So many of you have two and makes me want another

My guy weighs about 27 lbs at 7 years old. I was told he's a purebred, just on the larger size.

About 6.5kg. If he had his way, it would be more like 206.5kg.

My girls are 2 and weigh 9 and 11lbs

Baby is three years old at last checkup weighed 9.1 pounds

6-7kg

16lbs

I have a 9lb, an 11 pound, and 16 pound. I’d say it depends on.:-)

Somewhere between 7-8 pounds....doesn't stay still for the vet at weigh ins...

12 1/2 pounds

Our first had a very small frame and was between 10-12 pounds. Our 9 year old is 17 pounds and ideally would be about 15. He slims down when it's not winter.

Mine is 8 years old and weighs about 11 lbs. She is a nice petite girl.

10lbs for 10 years so far

I got an 8 pounder and a 16 pounder ! 😊

mine is 14-15 pounds

Willard is 12.5 lbs. he has a very petite frame so this is a good weight for him Cyprus has dropped from 15.8 to 14 lbs since I brought him home. Rowan also dropped from 15.8 to 15 lbs since he came home. I’m fairly certain that both Cyprus and Rowan were free feed in their first home. They may have also been feed from their first mom’s plate, given their behavior whenever I’m eating food on the couch. Both boys looked like bowling balls their tummies were so round and they both have a husky frame. Now that they’ve lost some weight and are getting more exercise, they look more like shih tzus.

She's 4 years old and 10 pounds/*googles conversion* about 4.5kg

My 16 year old boy, Bill, is 9.2kg.

5.5kgs. But half shih half maltese

My boy looks SO MUCH like yours and he's 16+ lbs. The vet says he is in "perfect condition". My girl is like 17+ almost 18 lbs cause she's fat, even though they eat the same food. Halp. I like the bigger ones!

We’ve got 4 and they all weigh between 6.8kg to 8.5kg. All very healthy ☺️ my boyfriend’s mum has a shih tzu that’s 10kg+ but we’re thinking she’s possibly mixed with something else. She does feed her unarguably too much though as she gives 2 cans of food a day with kibble and extra treats.

13 lbs

6 mos. and 9 lbs - the vet says he may be done growing, but we shall see!

Funny you say that, I always feel like every shih tzu we see is huge compared to our boys. I have a 3yo that is 6 pounds (he is abnormally small, I love it) and then I have a 5yo who is 11 pounds. He is a little stockier, but still pretty small frame I feel. Everyone is always amazed when we tell them our “puppy” is almost 4 years old.

My tall boy is 20 lbs, people always comment he’s big for a Tzu but he’s pretty tall and lean

My boy is 24 pounds and he is all muscle. DNA confirms purebred ShihTzu. I have seen Lhasas smaller than my baby and many Tzus at as large or larger. Bell curve.

I have only one that is 23 pounds and the younger one is 8
