Shitzu's hair (like Lhasa Apsos) grows as long as they are tall, just about. Many groomers do an adorable puppy cut on these dogs that keeps the hair short, unmatted and out of their eyes.
Peace!

Until it drags on the ground and he walks on it.
Shih-tzu's need to be clipped 3 to 6 times a year depending on how short the jobs and how long you let it get between cuts.
Unlike the poodle breeds, and some others, Shih-tzu's also need to be brushed to comb out the finest down hair. It makes them feel very soft, but failing to brush will make their coats matt quite badly. A badly matted coat is hard to keep clean and can even make them feel discomfort.

Shih tzu hair never stops growing, but if you want to keep it long, you'll have to comb and brush it several times a day. Otherwise, the hair will form hard mats and the dog will have to be shaved completely. When he turns about 1 year old, the soft puppy hair will change to firmer, silkier adult hair which tangles easier, and you may want to think about having a groomer cut his hair short and fluffy for you so it's easier to care for.
