ShihPoos are small and fluffy dogs with extra-friendly personalities. One parent breed, the Shih Tzu, is a loyal and attentive lap dog. The other, a toy poodle, is highly intelligent and loves to be the center of attention. Therefore, the ShihPoos are playful, friendly and affectionate, always happy to sit in a lap and give a little love. They generally weigh 7 to 15 pounds, depending on the size of their parent breeds. For their size, they are courageous and make excellent watchdogs.
ShihPoos are incredibly cute and incredibly loving, affectionate creatures. For these reasons and more, ShihPoos can make more than just a great pet; they’re also great as emotional support animals. Shih Tzu’s tend to be highly affectionate and extremely charming, but possess a stubborn streak that can make them difficult to train. Poodles, on the other hand, while equally charming with playful and comedic personalities, are highly intelligent dogs who are more eager to please and easier to train. ShihPoos, as a result, are often playful, affectionate and quick-witted little charmers, although they may inherit their Shih Tzu parent’s willfulness. Because of this, they often need a firm but patient guide in training.

They love to play with toys and get along wonderfully with older children, although due to their small size and hair that’s easy to grab and pull, they should be closely supervised around small children. While friendly and great at getting along well with other pets, especially if introduced as puppies, older shih poos might not love having other dogs around. They often do well as only dogs. Even so, these fluffy pups love being close to their people and don’t tolerate being left alone for long periods of time. If work or school takes you away from home for long hours, you may need to consider doggie daycare to keep your ShihPoo happy.
