The Shiba-poo is a small to medium hybrid breed and is a nice mix of a Shiba Inu and a Poodle. They are also known as a Poo-Shi, Shibadoodle, or Shibapoo and are loyal and loving dogs who make a great family pet. The Shiba-Poo combines the intelligence of the Poodle and the confidence of the Shiba Inu. They get along well with children and other pets, especially if they have been properly socialized early on. They also can be quite possessive, especially when it comes to toys. They are very affectionate, loyal, and form strong bonds with their families. The breed is known to be wary around strangers and is a good watchdog always barking to alert the family of intruders. They can be prone to barking if left for long periods, so will suit families where there is someone home most of the time. They don’t shed much and are hypoallergenic, which is great for those with allergies.
