Now, there are few more things that you need to know about your Shih Tzu colors.
- To start with, the Shih Tzu colors can change. So, if you get a solid color puppy, once it matures it can be both dual color and even triple color. This depends on the type of pigmentation happening.
- The next thing is about how deep the color will be. While in most cases as they grow the color deepens but there are certain pigments which fade, and some new shade appears. Don’t be afraid because it is pretty normal in Shih Tzus.
- The third thing is keeping good care. A proper well-groomed coat will have better pigmentation. This also depends on their food habit. If Shih Tzu is not eating healthy food, they might suffer from some lack of coat color.
So, which one is your favourite Shih Tzu colors?
