They are normally intelligent, alert, friendly, and devoted to their owners and like many small dogs they love to sit in your lap. They do very well around young children. They are demonstrative and seem to enjoy being bragged on and being the center of attention, doing poorly in kennels because they want their owner's company. The Shih-poo tends to be very sociable with other dogs and also do well around all other pets of any species. Shih-poo's are usually very intelligent and eager to please their owners. These traits make them very trainable. They learn quickly and seems to enjoy showing off tricks.
