Look at me! I am a Shih-Poo puppy! My Mom is Petals a 13lb Shih-Tzu and my Dad is Joe a 8lb Mini Poodle. My estimated adult weight is 9lbs. I was born on July 22nd and I will be ready for my forever home on September 19th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I will be checked by a veterinarian and micro-chipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Ada Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Some interesting facts about the Shih-Poo
The Shihpoo, also known as a Shoodle or a Poo-Tzu, is an adorable mixed breed between a Shih Tzu and a Miniature or Toy Poodle. This fairly new designer breed was first noticed in North America in the last few decades. Shihpoos are cheerful, easygoing, and devoted, and would be comfortable in most living situations. They are ideal for an older, retired person, but will also be fine in a family with calm, older children. This is a good breed for new pet owners, but the Shihpoo can be stubborn if it inherits certain traits from its Shih Tzu parent. They are an intelligent, sensitive, and lovable breed who would like nothing more than to be spoiled and cherished, and they do make great emotional support therapy dogs. The Shihpoo is typically 8-18 inches high, and usually weighs between 7-20 pounds. The height and weight can vary due to what size Poodle the Shih Tzu is bred with. This is a breed with a long life span, commonly between 13-17 years. Their exercise needs are in the medium range of between 20-30 minutes a day. Typically a few short walks and quick little potty breaks would suffice. They do get along with other pets, but as with any dog early training and socialization is important. The Shihpoo is commonly a healthy breed and with routine veterinary care, they should live long and happy lives.
