| SHIH-Poo A Shih-poo is a mixed breed dog that is produced by mating a Poodle and a Shih - Tzu. They have been bred in an attempt to combine the characteristics of the Poodle, such as its intelligence and low-shed coat, with the desirable traits of the Shih - Tzu. Some owners prefer Shih-Poo's over Shih Tzus because the snout of the dog is less pushed in, therefore alleviating many breathing problems that shih-tzus can experience. The Shih-poos have notable references in popular culture . Appearance The Shih-poos' appearance varies significantly. It will take characteristics from both of its parents. One consistent trait of the breed is its size, normally weighing about 10 lbs or less. It is long coated like the Shih-Tzu, though its coat texture can be straight, curly, or wavy. Normally the Shih-poo's general build will be somewhere between that of its parents. It can be any color or color combination. They are very adorable and a kind dogs. Temperament The Shih-poos' parent breeds share many temperament traits, more so than appearance. Therefore it is easier to generalise their personality. 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 centre 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. The Benefits of Having a Shih Poo Dog Allergy suffering tends to be low or non-existent because of hybrid hypoallergenic qualities (comes from the Poodle). There is very little dander or hair loss when compared to other dogs. It is important to note that no dog, not even the Poodle, is completely hypoallergenic. Extremely sensitive people may experience slight discomfort, but that isn't very unlikely. The Shih-Poo tends to have hybrid vigor, meaning less genetic problems due to cross-breeding. This is why it is better to get a puppy that had a Shih Tzu mother and a Poodle father, or vice versa, as opposed to getting a puppy that had two Shih-Poo parents. The result of the cross between a Shih Tzu and a Poodle is, Hands Down the CUTES PUPPY EVER BORN!!!! |
