Shit tzus aren’t famous for tearing up toys like a bigger dog. My dog shakes her toys so she gets lots of little stuffed animals and her favorite toy is a smashed water bottle.

We had 4 shih tzu at one time. 5 total through the years. None of them really played with toys lol. As puppies they chewed on stuffed animals but that’s it. No balls or chew bones.
