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.
