What's a Shih-Poo?

Country of Origin: United States The Shih-poo is a hybrid mix of a Shih-tzu and either a Toy or Miniature Poodle.
Size: Height: 8 to 14 inches; Weight: 8-15 pounds
Coat: The Shih-poo's coat is wavy, normally curlier than the Shih-tzu but not as curly as the Poodle. The coat is little-to-no shedding.
Character: The Shih-poo is very loving and playful and they get along with other pets.
Temperament: Shih-poos are a little louder than the Shih-tzu. They are more active and athletic. They seem to take the best from both breeds. They are not considered 'yappers'.
Care: Shih-poos will require regular grooming.
Training: Due to their intelligence, this breed is fairly easy to train.
Activity: Shih-poos do not require a lot of exercise. They get sufficient exercise just by playing with their owners. They enjoy walks and/or backyard play.

Merle & Chocolate Shih-Poos are DUE!


Our beautiful Smooshmellow has been doubel sired! We are expecting Chocolate Shih-Poos and Cocoa Merle Shih-Poos!

Smooshmellow is Famous on Twitter!

Movie night with my favorite snuggle buddy turned out to be her moment of fame~ on Twitter that is! See for yourself!



First Litter! May 2012


We've had all kinds of fun here in the Ohio River Valley with our tiny companions! Our family bustles about all day but loves loves coming home to snuggle and relax with our furry babies.

Miss Smooshmellow had her first litter last year with Bob and produced three beautiful puppies. I have checked up on two of the pups' health and build and the shih tzu gene dominated yielding long silky coats, sturdy builds, and beautifuly laid tails. I was very pleased with her first litter. The coats were red (one with a beautiful mask) and black (with white tuxedos) but no liver points as expected.

The photos below are of our beautiful puppies. Each puppy was wee-wee pad trained before leaving too! Enjoy!

I know it has been forever but life happens and sometimes taking time to blog is not near as important as reading with your children, taking your dog for a walk, or just snuggling on the sofa. Erick and I both work full time and our children are full time children- you hear me lol! I know our lives wouldn't be as full as they are if it weren't for our K9 loves!
Happy New Year 2014. We made it until midnight and so did Bob and Smooshee!
 
 I work outside and on occasion I am "rained out." I feel blessed on the days I come home early to hot tea, a movie, my favorite fuzzy throw, and my precious doggies! I'll stretch out and they make theirselves comfy on my legs and torso~little heating pads.

Peanut-butter Fudge-Bob is full of excitement daily and jumps with joy when we come home. He reminds me of bouncing Tigger from Winnie the Poo! By far is the most intelligent dog I have met! He is very ornery in play takes joy in sneaking in kisses while lounging on our laps. With his super agil movments, we are considering a super hero cape for his daily attire! *wink House training was easy with Bob. He loves outside play and running with the children in our neigborhood. His nick name is "Bob Barker," coined by the lovely lady living across the street. He talks (barks) to everyone. He talks to us at home, over the phone, and luckily for him, not while we are sleeping lol.
Bob received Pugz boots from Santa for Christmas!

Smooshmellow Cocoa Smores is a true pillow pet ha! She loves to be held and snuggled. She preferes to be indoors during the summer months but truely excites in bounding through the snow! She obeys commands and is always joyous to see us. She loves to be groomed but refuses to wear fancy hair-bows lol. Her favorite outfit is her pink snowflake winter sweater; it seriously is! When she isn't in our laps or stretched out in the kitchen floor, she is chasing Bob. Bob with his chew toy, Bob with her cher toy, Bob with a bone, Bob with my son's old penguin slipper. He loves her so much that he will often slow down and let her catch him! Her only downfall is that she can't jump into our beds. She will come to my side first and give a little impatient wimper. If I don't pick her up fast enough she heads to Erick's side and awaits to be swooped up. Her preference is to lay on my feet. A treat for both of us lol.


Pouting over her pink bow lol.


Next post will be all about Smooshee and Bob's first litter!
