Are shih tzus front legs longer than the back legs?

No, Shih Tzus do not have front legs longer than their back legs. They are known for their short, stocky build, with front and back legs being about the same length.

Here's what makes them unique:

* Short legs: Shih Tzus are known for their short legs compared to their body length.

* Straight legs: Both their front and back legs should be straight and parallel.

* Double coat: Their luxurious double coat can make their legs appear shorter than they actually are.

So, while they might look like they have longer front legs, they are actually well-balanced with similar leg lengths.
