The Shih-poo is a small designer dog, and is a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. They are normally intelligent, alert, friendly, and devoted to their owners, although they can be shy around strangers. They need to be properly socialized around young children. They are extremely cute and cuddly dogs.
Shih-poos have been known to suffer from Patellar luxation, Hip dysplasia, and Cataracts.
