About Teddy
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn more here
Teddy is a cute little shih-poo that was born on Dec. 2nd and is ready to go to his new home at any time now. He has a very quiet, sweet personality and loves attention. His parents weigh 8 1/2 and 11 1/2 pounds. He comes with a one year written health guarantee, lots of written puppy tips, and has had all of his puppy vaccines for the year and has been given dewormer on a regular basis. I am taking a deposit of half his price plus tax to hold him until you are prepared to take him home. All of our dogs and puppies are raised in our home and are our pets. I sell my puppies to people intending to add a loving new family member to their household and who will integrate them into their families and homes. I will not sell them to anyone who plans to make them live outside in a barn, shed, kennel or dog box, so please make sure that having a new indoor pet to love and house train is what you really want. I live on the east side of Butler, Ohio 44822 – about an hour north of Columbus and less than two hours south-west of Cleveland. I would love for you to set up a time with me to have a Zoom or FaceTime appt. with the puppies to see Teddy, or you are welcome to come and visit with my babies and see how adorable they really are!
Shih Poos are sweet, pudgy-faced dolls bred from a Shih Tzu and a Poodle. They can be leggy like the poodle, or shorter-legged like the Shih Tzu, but mine tend to have short legs. The Shih Poo is a happy breed with an animated personality. They are gentle-natured, personable, very loyal and love human affection. They get along great with other pets & children, but due to their small bone structure, young children should be supervised when around them. They thrive well indoors and require only moderate exercise. Their non-shedding coats are typically smooth, silky, and wavy, requiring regular brushing to keep them clean and tangle-free. This mixed breed is naturally clean and doesn’t need bathed often; they will need to be groomed every 12 to 16 weeks, depending on how you want yours to look.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Shihpoo Puppies
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.

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

Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.

Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
