Answer 1

It takes months to grow a show coat like that. Months of daily brushing and care. It doesn't grow in over night. Same as human hair, it takes time.

Edit: "how long does it take?" How long would it take to grow your hair the same length? That's about how long it's going to take.

Answer 2

it takes time a long time to grow any hair like that....

Answer 3

yes and it is beautiful.  

Answer 4

its definitely not a shih tzu.

I think its a pomeranian, and their coats are naturally this way.

Answer 5

i have a young shih tzu and she has a "teddy bear " cut. she gets v. mucky tho so we always cut hers. I dont  know how fast your dogs fur grows but mine grows quite  fast so maybe a few months ???

good luck ! x

Answer 6

Yes it is.

Do not cut the shih shu hair for 3/4months but you need to trim the hair in order to let it shape nicely!

Answer 7

Just growing the coat to full coat doesn't make it show quality, it's how Shih Tzu are shown but there are many other factors that make a breed show quality.

My Shih Tzu is 6 months, just over, and has only had a small trim and is nowhere near full coat and has not blown his puppy coat. I'd guess at around a year for that length.

Answer 8

Yes it is a Shih Tzu!!! And it's really cute. My friend has a Shih Tzu and her's looked like that within a year! Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 9

yes it is a shih tzu and u just need to put a lot of time and effort into your dogs diet and grooming routine

Answer 10

How long does it take?

Probably a good 6 months to a year of daily brushing, grooming, styling, ect..

Answer 11

Yes it is and a very nice one.  As far as show quality, you need an experienced breeder/trainer/handler to look at him/her, i.e., teeth, feel out bone structure, tail, etc.  

As far as the coat goes, brush, brush, brush!  Trim ends to shape as it grows out.
