Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Shih Pom? The Shih Pom, also known as a Shiranian, is a hybrid breed that combines the affectionate, loyal nature of the Shih Tzu with the playful charm of the Pomeranian. Known for their cuddly, calm temperament, Shih Poms make excellent lap dogs and are happiest when close to their family members. They bring together the best qualities of both parent breeds, resulting in a sweet, gentle companion that thrives in a loving environment. Shih Poms are well-suited for individuals, couples, and families looking for a small, affectionate pet with a big heart.

How Big Do Shih Poms Get? Shih Poms are small, compact dogs, generally standing 7 to 12 inches tall and weighing between 4 and 15 pounds. Their petite size makes them ideal for apartment living, but they’re sturdy enough for short play sessions and gentle walks. Despite their small frame, Shih Poms have a resilient build that lets them join in on family activities, making them the perfect fit for those looking for a manageable dog that’s both portable and full of personality.

Are Shih Poms Hypoallergenic? Shih Poms are typically low-shedding, but they’re not fully hypoallergenic. Their coat may vary from smooth to fluffy, depending on which parent breed they take after more. While their minimal shedding can make them easier to manage for allergy sufferers, regular brushing is still essential to prevent tangles and keep their coat looking its best. Shih Poms’ low-maintenance coat and minimal shedding make them a good choice for those who prefer a cleaner, low-allergen environment.

How Long Do Shih Poms Live? Shih Poms generally have a lifespan of 12 to 16 years. With the right care, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine vet visits, many Shih Poms live long, healthy lives filled with love and companionship. Their small size and typically good health contribute to their longevity, and they tend to remain affectionate, loyal companions well into their senior years.

Are Shih Poms Good With Children? Yes, Shih Poms are typically good with children, especially when introduced to kids from a young age. Their gentle, affectionate nature makes them a great fit for families, and they tend to form close bonds with children. Because of their small size, Shih Poms are best suited to households with older children who understand how to handle a small dog carefully. With proper supervision and gentle interactions, Shih Poms make sweet, cuddly companions for kids.

Are Shih Pom Puppies Easy to Train? Shih Pom puppies are intelligent but can be somewhat determined, especially if they inherit the independent streak of their Pomeranian parent. They respond well to positive reinforcement, so treats and praise go a long way during training sessions. Patience and consistency are key, as Shih Poms may need a gentle but firm approach to stay focused. While they may take a bit of persistence to train, Shih Poms are very capable of learning basic commands and routines with the right encouragement.

Do Shih Poms Shed? Shih Poms are minimal shedders, which is a bonus for those who prefer a cleaner home with less fur around. Their coat, which may be soft and wavy or fluffy and dense, benefits from regular brushing to keep it tangle-free and maintain its healthy appearance. Although they shed minimally, occasional grooming will help keep their coat soft and manageable. Their low-shedding quality, along with their small size, makes Shih Poms a relatively low-maintenance pet in terms of grooming.

How Much Do Shih Poms Weigh? Adult Shih Poms typically weigh between 4 and 15 pounds, making them a light and easy-to-carry companion. Their weight range and compact size make them ideal lap dogs and perfect for those looking for a pet that’s easy to manage and care for. Shih Poms’ small, cuddly build combined with their affectionate and calm personality makes them an ideal choice for owners who want a loyal, portable, and loving companion.
