Meet this handsome boy, born June 5th! Full of personality, curiosity, and puppy enthusiasm, this little guy is convinced the world revolves around him—and he’s not entirely wrong!
He’s spunky, playful, outgoing, and incredibly friendly. He loves exploring, playing, and most of all, being the center of attention. In fact, he takes personal offense to the suggestion that anything could possibly be more important than holding him and giving him your undivided attention!
He was recently returned to us after his previous owner found the challenges of puppy training a little more than they were prepared to manage. From everything we could see, his previous owner took excellent care of him during their time together, and he returned to us a happy, healthy, and well-loved little fellow.
Since coming back, he’s been staying in my home, where he’s shown himself to be an affectionate, rambunctious young puppy with plenty of energy and an even bigger personality! He gets along well with my other dogs and has taken quite an interest in the cats, who seem equally curious about him. While they’re still getting acquainted, he hasn’t displayed any concerning behavior toward them.
He also does reasonably well walking on a leash! Like any puppy his age, he’s still learning his manners, and continued training, patience, and consistency will be important as he grows.
If you’re looking for a lively, loving little companion who will keep you entertained and make sure you never forget he’s there, this boy might be just the one!

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.
