Why a Shihpoo?
Looking for a sweet little companion that is very intelligent with a cheerful snuggly, bubbly personality!? We would like to introduce you to the Shihpoo. They are also hypoallergenic and considered non-shedding, making a great house pet!
Shihpoo Description:
A Shihpoo is an intentional cross between a Shihtzu and a Toy Poodle to create a F1 Hybrid. The offspring brings out quality traits from both parents! Our AKC puppy parents have healthy bloodlines and excellent personalities. The outcome of us crossing our purebreds have resulted in sweet, smart, loving puppies!
Shihpoo Temperament:
The Shihpoo temperament will be that of a cuddly sweet, gentle spirit from the Shihtzu, and then a loyal, intelligent, alert temperament from the Poodle.
Our Shihpoo Puppies are easily trained with dedication and love! They greet you with a smile and rarely have a bad day. While each Teddy Bear pup is unique, we have found this to be the normal behavior with our Shihpoo puppies.
The Shihpoo is a wonderful family pet! They do great with active families, get along well with other dogs or animals, and make a great companion for children!
Poodles:
Poodles are known for their intelligence, energy, alertness, and non-shedding abilities. This breed passes the non-shedding and minimal dander on to it's puppies. The Poodle requires moderately high exercise and attention. They can get bored easy, but are said to be the smartest and most trainable of all breeds. They can learn commands and tricks very quickly and are eager to please! Poodles are known to be quite loyal and typically bond quickly with family members.
Shih Tzu:
Shihtzus are known for their sweet-natured calm and cuddly temperament. They can tend to be a bit stubborn in training but can succeed in agility and obedience competitions. They also create beautiful colors, and take credit for the signature face mask. ShihTzu's require minimal exercise and are happy to lay in your lap.
Shihpoo Appearance:
How your Shihpoo puppy looks and coloring will depend greatly on the parents genetics. Our puppies for sale weight range is from 9 to 14 pounds as adults, based on past litters and parents weights.
Other options may vary too. The option of having a more thick curly coat of a Poodle or the soft coat of a Shihtzu. Either way, the Shihpoo puppy you decide to adopt will look like a little "Teddy Bear" with a fun-loving yet cuddly demeanor!
