**** Each puppy comes with Travel crate, bed or blanket, travel bag, tooth-brush, new bowls, starter bag of food, new leash and collar, hair accessory, puppy pads and toys. **** Hi, my name is Bear 🐾 I’m an adorable little Shihpoo boy ( Shih-Tzu and Toy Poodle ) with a soft, shiny black wavy coat that makes me look just like a teddy bear. I have a little white on my face. I was born and raised right in my home, surrounded by love—my mom is 7 pounds and my dad is 8 pounds, both family pets. I I’m up to date on my vaccines, vet checked, dewormed, and tested negative for parasites. I’m healthy, happy, and already learning to go potty outside like a good boy. I’m a very sweet, gentle, and easygoing pup. I love to flop over on my back and show my belly—I could happily enjoy belly rubs all day. I’m calm, affectionate, and always want to be close to my people. I get along well with other dogs and would fit in easily in many different homes. I’m perfect for any age and would make a wonderful companion—or even a potential therapy dog because of my calm, loving nature. Whether it’s a house or an apartment, I adjust well as long as I’m near my humans. I also have playful little bursts, but most of the time I’m happiest snuggling, relaxing, or following you from room to room. I love comfort, attention, and being part of daily life. With my shiny teddy-bear coat, sweet personality, and gentle heart, I’m the kind of companion who brings comfort and love wherever I go 💛 Our puppies are raised in our home, not a barn or kennel, with their parents and lots of love. Both parents are very healthy. . Videos are available and I do not do touch ups with photos. I am not a professional photographer. LOL. I do my best. As a breeder, I am always available for support and will help you with any questions you have when bringing your new puppy home. Puppies are sold strictly on spay/neuter contract ONLY, No Exceptions. Please discuss adoption with all family members and and be sure they are all on board for adoption prior to calling to discuss puppies. No third party adoptions. We only have one litter a year. We pride ourselves on having healthy puppies. I will warn you though, if you adopt one puppy from us... most likely you will come back for a second one. LOL . We will not have another litter until next year ***We do not place puppies in their forever homes until after they are 8 weeks old, as we believe staying with their mother during this time is essential for healthy development and proper temperament. **** Each puppy comes with Travel crate, bed or blanket, travel bag, tooth-brush, new bowls, starter bag of food, new leash and collar, hair accessory, puppy pads and toys. ****

Frequently Asked Questions
About Shihpoo Puppies

What's the personality of a Shihpoo?
With mixed genes from a Shih Tzu and Poodle, it’s no wonder the Shihpoo is such a loving, sweet dog. These little guys adore people and will do just about anything to be with them. They don’t need much exercise or grooming, but they’ll take as much attention as they can get. Full-grown, they typically weigh 8-18 pounds and stand 8-18 inches tall.
Are Shihpoos good family dogs?
Shihpoos are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. These dogs get along well with children but prefer older kids who are more gentle. They also make good friends for other family dogs and cats. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
What's the best way to exercise a Shihpoo?
Shihpoos don’t need much exercise to stay happy and healthy. They usually get enough activity just by playing with their family. If you want to take your Shihpoo out, they enjoy going for walks or playing around in the grass. Overall, their exercise needs are low.
What's the coat like on a Shihpoo?
The Shihpoo’s coat will range from curly to wavy to straight, depending on whether their Shih Tzu or Poodle genes are stronger. Normally, it’s curlier than the Shih Tzu but not as curly as the Poodle's. Their fur doesn’t shed much, so normal brushing or professional grooming will keep these dogs looking their best. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What should first-time owners know about Shihpoos?
Shihpoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. At 7-20 pounds, the Shihpoo is a great fit for apartments or houses. If they have a yard to play in, make sure your Shihpoo primarily lives indoors so they can be around people. They are can be stubborn and challenging to train.

Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
