The chrysanthemum face and slightly superior air of a little lion dog, in a candle that sits in your palm.

Our Shih Tzu candle is a miniature, sculpted standing with a long flowing coat, topknot and tail curled over its back, in five Shih Tzu coat colours. It's a Shih Tzu gift for Shih Tzu mums and dads, for a birthday or Christmas, or a gentle keepsake to remember a much-loved dog.

Each one is hand-poured in natural soy wax in our Caldicot studio, with the long carved coat, the tied-up topknot, the moustache and beard, and the plumed tail curled right over its back. Most people keep it on a shelf as an ornament rather than burn it, but it has a proper cotton wick if you'd like to light it.

Match it to your dog
  • White or cream Shih Tzu: Ivory / Cream
  • Gold, or gold and white: Warm Biscuit / Sand
  • Liver Shih Tzu: Chocolate Brown
  • Black, or black and white: Charcoal / Near Black
  • Grey, silver, or grey and white: Warm Grey

Delivery

Made to order and sent within 3–5 working days by free tracked Royal Mail. Need it by a certain date? Message us before you order and we'll do our best.

If you light it

Place it on a heatproof surface, trim the wick to 5mm before each burn, and let the top melt fully on the first burn. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.

Each one is finished by hand around the coat and tail, so small differences in texture are normal.

Questions about the Shih Tzu candle

How big is the Shih Tzu candle?

It's a miniature: 5.5cm tall and 6.5cm long, with about 46g of soy wax, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. It's sculpted standing, with the long coat, topknot and tail curled over its back.

Which colour should I choose for my Shih Tzu?

For a white or cream Shih Tzu, choose Ivory / Cream. Gold or gold and white, Warm Biscuit / Sand. Liver, Chocolate Brown. Black or black and white, Charcoal / Near Black. Grey, silver or grey and white, Warm Grey. For a two-tone coat, pick the colour your dog is mostly.

Can I order it as a memorial for a Shih Tzu?

Yes. We can make it in your dog's coat colour as a gentle keepsake. You can choose Unscented if you'd rather keep it than burn it, and if you send us a photo first we'll help you pick the closest colour.

Can I burn it, or is it just for display?

You can. It has a pre-waxed cotton wick and burns like any soy candle, though most people keep it on a shelf. If you do burn it, our candle care guide will help it burn evenly.

How long does it take to arrive?

Every candle is hand-poured to order in our studio in Caldicot, Wales, and dispatched within 3–5 working days by free tracked Royal Mail. For Christmas, order by 10 December.
