Breed overview
Overview:
The ShihPoo is a charming and increasingly popular designer breed, resulting from the cross between a Shih Tzu and a Toy Poodle. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parent breeds, the ShihPoo is known for its adorable looks and affectionate nature. Physically, they are small dogs, typically weighing between 7-20 pounds, boasting a soft, wavy to curly coat that can come in a multitude of colors. This coat is often described as hypoallergenic, making them a good choice for individuals with allergies, though regular grooming is essential to prevent matting. Temperamentally, ShihPoos are generally sweet, playful, and intelligent, inheriting the Poodle's trainability and the Shih Tzu's companionable spirit. They thrive on human interaction and are well-suited for family life and apartment living due to their small size and relatively moderate exercise needs. While generally healthy, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye problems, and dental issues, inherited from their parent breeds, making reputable breeding crucial for prospective owners.
