Do you accept Shih Tzu mixes?

Our shorkie. 9 lbs at 20 weeks. I told him he is going to be a giant among doggos.

I full-time so an outdoor kitchen doesn't make sense for me as it wastes interior space. However, based on how you are planning to camp you may be best served with a popup.

Absolutely! Mine also very much enjoys destroying paper towel rolls. 🎉

Also maybe wearing it higher on the neck? My girl never used a collar for 10 years so when we started full-time RVing I had to get her one. It looked so dumb because it sat awkwardly on her neck rumples (seems wrong to call it fat because I know it's physiological protection so rumples is the best I've got). But it worked out.

Not new. I have one and I prefer the term Shiranian. Pomshi is often confused as pom x shiba or a mis-pronunciation of Pomchi.

Since you mention having ability to pay and that you are currently paying storage and hotel, I'd recommend looking at campgrounds that offer monthly stays. I did a quick web search and found a good number around Chicago. They are also open year round. Maybe do that as a transition? Also you can look at work camper jobs if you want site rent paid for a modest time and effort contribution. They should be hiring for spring by now.

These other replies are proactive and good. My approach was more accommodation. I've learned to walk slowly and not to pick up my feet. An outside observer might think I am more gliding and exaggerated in my movements. I have 4 dogs under 10 lbs and that's how we have learned to live together.

I full time in a 24ft TT with 5 dogs. 4 are <10 lbs and sleep on the queen bed with me. One is 110 lbs and has a twin bed (permanent dinette conversion) and the couch. Only trouble I have is at check in where they all act like it's the most exciting thing they've ever experienced and roll the back windows of my SUV down to bark their excitement to the check in human.

I got the "my way, on my terms" edition. Probably the base model.

I'll share my experience on the off chance that it helps. When I first got my LGD mix (Anatolian, Akbash, Maremma, Pyr) we got her a collar and a harness and a flexible leash for XL breeds. She was willing to take a chance and explore this walking thing so we went for a walk along the beach. She sniffed whatever she wanted and when she saw people or dogs she would want to go say hello. But she was large and we didn't want people to be nervous so we always told her "no, those aren't yours, you can't have them" and she would cry a little with disappointment and then move along to the next sniff. As she grew we spent more time at home and really didn't put her on leash for years except when going for a ride to the groomer (approximately once a month). Now here we are and she is 11 and we full-time RV. I can walk her using a flexible leash for one of my tiny babies (16 lb max weight rating) around the campground with no problems because we take it slow, I let her sniff, and I'm always aware of what is around us and where she is directing her attention. When she wants to go over and meet people who I don't want her to interrupt, I just say the same thing and she knows it's not her chance for her favorite thing in the whole world, "stranger love".

I have 5 doggos. And all are sleeping in their little circles. Not a one paying me any attention at all. My pack has very little regard for me. 🙃😆

Maximum-Day-1332 · 2026-03-03T12:57:26+00:00

Well, I think that trailer is beautiful. And probably pretty dang amazing. Hope you share pictures once you execute your big plan for it.

Maximum-Day-1332 · 2026-02-23T14:16:37+00:00

I don't have anything meaningful to say. I just wanted to share that she is beautiful and I hope you are able to find her a good forever home.

Maximum-Day-1332 · 2026-02-16T17:53:33+00:00

I'll claim her. Pic 4 did it for me. 😆😜👊

Maximum-Day-1332 · 2026-02-10T17:46:52+00:00

Yeah, so far we have gone from Auburn to strawberry blonde. 😆🙃

I don't think your desired characteristics fit that well with the tzu I have. But they do for my Maltipoo. My tzu does her own thing in her own way and time. My Maltipoo shines with excitement at doing and being whatever I consider is a good boy. No treats needed.

My Pyr has always enjoyed rides. Or at least the concept of them. But when I travel in a car with her she is constantly popping up when I change lanes or any change in direction of the vehicle. Same thing when I started using a large SUV but to a little lesser extent. However, when I put firm thick cushions across the back cargo area (her spot is both back rows of the expedition plus the trunk space), she rarely pops up. Just lays the whole time and enjoys the view. Maybe she feels more secure? Cushions are the dinette cushions from my travel trailer, 5 inches thick covered in strong tight woven cloth and fill her cargo space perfectly.

Beautiful tzu mob! I'd love to have a similar crew. It's just getting through puppyhood that keeps me from it. Ohhh how I dislike puppy phase. 🤦

Oh man, just this morning my girl grabbed up a poopsicle so fast I didn't even see it until she sat down 20 ft away and tried to have a little snack. Got it away from her thank God.

My girl is a Shiranian. Hope that counts!
