Shih-Poo Puppies
Charming, compact companions with big personalities.
About the Shih-Poo
Shih-Poos blend the sweet, people-oriented Shih Tzu with the smart, low-shedding Poodle. Top Notch Paws raises Shih-Poo puppies as loving lap companions and playful family pets in Russell, Massachusetts.
Shih-Poos are known for their expressive faces, soft coats, and devotion to their people. They often do well in homes where someone is around during the day and appreciate a mix of cuddle time and short play sessions.
Because both parent breeds come in a range of sizes, we communicate expected adult weight for each litter so you can choose a puppy that fits your lifestyle—whether you prefer a petite companion or a sturdier small dog.
