About the Shih-Poo

The Shih Poo is a delightful and adorable crossbreed between the Shih Tzu and the Poodle (usually the Toy or Miniature variety). This hybrid breed has gained popularity over the past few decades due to its charming looks, playful nature, and affectionate personality. The goal of breeding Shih Poos is to combine the best traits of both parent breeds— the Shih Tzu's loving and friendly demeanor with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle.

Qualities:


Size: Shih Poos are generally small dogs, typically weighing between 8 to 18 pounds and standing about 8 to 13 inches tall at the shoulder.


Coat: Their coat can vary widely, but they often have a soft, wavy, or curly coat that can come in various colors, including black, white, brown, and combinations. Their coats are often hypoallergenic, making them suitable for individuals with allergies.


Temperament: Shih Poos are known for their friendly and affectionate nature. They are playful, social, and thrive on human interaction. These dogs are generally good with children, other pets, and strangers, making them excellent companions.


Intelligence: Inheriting the Poodle's intelligence, Shih Poos are quick learners and respond well to training. They enjoy mental stimulation and can excel in various activities and tricks.


Adaptability: Shih Poos are highly adaptable dogs that can thrive in various living environments, from apartments to larger homes. They are generally suited for both urban and suburban lifestyles.


Exercise Needs: While they do require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy, their small size means they don't need excessive amounts of physical activity. A couple of short walks and some playtime each day are usually sufficient.

Why They Make the Perfect Companion:


Companionship: Shih Poos are incredibly affectionate and form strong bonds with their owners. They love to be by your side and are known for their loyal nature.


Low Shedding: Their hypoallergenic coats make them a great choice for people with allergies, and they shed less than many other breeds, which helps keep your home cleaner.


Playful Nature: Shih Poos are playful and energetic, providing plenty of entertainment and fun for families. They enjoy interactive games and can be a delightful source of amusement.


Easy to Train: Thanks to their intelligence and eagerness to please, Shih Poos are relatively easy to train, making them suitable for both novice and experienced dog owners.


Adaptability: Their small size and adaptable nature make Shih Poos suitable for various living conditions. Whether you live in a cozy apartment or a spacious house, they can adjust well to their surroundings.
