The Shihpoo is a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Toy (or Miniature) Poodle. Depending on which parental genes are dominant, your Shih-Poo might have a curly or long, straight coat. These dogs are usually 8 to 15 inches high at the shoulder and weigh between 7 and 20 pounds. The Shihpoo's large, sweet eyes match its friendly and playful personality. They are ideal for adults and older children, and they make very effective watchdogs.

The cost of a Shih-Poo varies, but it's usually in the range of $1,200 to $2,500 depending on where you purchase the puppy from and its pedigree.
A full-grown Shih-Poo generally measures between 8 to 12 inches in height. With its small size, it makes for a comfortable companion even in an apartment.
Shih-Poos are known for being excellent house dogs. Their friendly, outgoing nature makes them a great family pet and they are also known for their ability to get along well with other household pets.
Shih-Poos can be considered high maintenance due to their grooming requirements. Their long, curly hair needs regular brushing to prevent matting and they also require regular dental care.
A healthy Shih-Poo can have a lifespan of 10-15 years. However, it's essential to get your puppy from a reliable breeder to ensure it is genetically healthy.
The downsides of owning a Shih-Poo include their high maintenance grooming needs, their tendencies to be stubborn at times which can make training difficult, and susceptibility to certain health conditions such as gum diseases and kidney problems.
