Snicker, a sweet and loving 9 pound Shih Tzu, chocolate and white, was bred to Tony, a rare chocolate and gold phantom colored Toy Poodle. They have 4 gorgeous Shih Poo puppies, 3 boys and a girl, born July 5, 2009. We expect these Shi-Poo puppies to mature between 9 and 12 pounds.

Shih Poos are a mix of a Shih Tzu and a Poodle. When someone calls out of the blue, looking for a mild mannered, child friendly, intelligent dog, one of our first recommendations is the Shih Poo. They inherit their sweet and forgiving nature from the Shih Tzu. They inherit their intelligence from the Poodle. This combination is wonderful with children, your childrens' friends, your neighbors, the vet, the groomer, and even complete strangers.

This is one of our non-shedding, allergy friendly mixes. Most people with dog allergies can be comfortable with the Shih Poo, though there are a few people that cannot tolerate any dog at all, due to severe allergies, or allergies to saliva. Shi-Poos come in a variety of colors, solid colors, blended colors, and parti colors are equally common. We try hard to breed for the multicolored shih poos, like you see in this litter.

Photos of Snicker's girls are below. Please note - these photos cannot even begin to give these puppies the justice they deserve. Chocolate dogs' eyes glow red when photographed. It destroys the look. In person, this is not seen. I have done my best to edit the red glow from the photos.
