FAQ: Shih Tzu Puppies for Savannah Families

How far is Star Struck Puppies from Savannah for a Shih Tzu?
About 25 minutes from downtown Savannah — we're in Springfield, Georgia, just north of the city.
Are Shih Tzus good dogs for Savannah?
Shih Tzus adapt beautifully to Savannah and coastal Georgia living. They're gentle, manageable, and content with daily walks and indoor time — perfect for the area's warm lifestyle. During summer heat, limit outdoor activity to early morning and evening hours, and always keep them in air conditioning.
Do Shih Tzus require a lot of grooming?
Shih Tzus have a long, flowing double coat that requires regular brushing — daily or every other day — to prevent matting. Many owners choose a short 'puppy cut' every 6–8 weeks for low-maintenance upkeep. Professional grooming is typically needed every 2 months.
