Momma was very protective of her puppies and threatening to bite so they requested rescue. We agreed and momma has shown what a sweet girl she is and the babies have thrived and are now ready to find their happily ever afters. Momma is Lola and babies are Locket, Curio, Trinket, and Bauble. Current Behavior: Very smart, outgoing, and independent. These are pretty high energy babies who love to play and wrestle. They love toys, snacks, and lots of love, and attention. They love all the other dogs they have met, loved the cats, and are just awesome babies who would love their own families to play with and then cuddle up with to watch some tv. Housetraining- Currently using a dog door. Their ideal home is active with lots of attention and outdoor activities. They will do best with older children who can keep them busy and a family who can keep up with them. Hikes, walks, runs, tug, fetch, etc - they would love it all. These are amazing babies who are absolutely beautiful - just balls of hair full of energy and excitement. They are stable, loving, active, and smart. Grab them quick as they will be snatched up in no time. Please be aware these babies will need continued training to go potty outside or on pads and they will need a lot of future grooming if you are not prepared to pay a groomer every 4-6 weeks then I do not recommend getting one of these kiddos..

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih-Poo is a charming designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Shih Tzu and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, typically originating from breeders seeking to combine the best traits of both. These small companion dogs usually boast a soft, wavy to curly coat that is often low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they exhibit a compact build, expressive eyes, and come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, Shih-Poos are generally affectionate, playful, and highly adaptable, making them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. They thrive on human companionship and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental problems, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
