Not the smarmy kennel show variety.
Had a shitzu once. Well, the ex did anyway. A little short on the zu, though. The ex-wife was the only one who he would allow to pick him up. Needed freakin’ chainmaille gloves to pick that little POS up. Daughter was 7 years old and sitting Indian-style (can you still say that LOL!) in front of the TV one night and the dog came up and laid down in her lap. She looked at me as if a rattlesnake crawled into her sleeping bag. Not a fan of little dogs.
My daughter has 2 very independent ones. They’re good dogs and great with the babies.
