ShihTzus Pack a Punch- Small Dogs that don't Shed ...



Shih Tzus are are small dogs that don't shed. They are known for being sturdy, attentive, energetic,responsive and they are best suited to being companion dogs. Usually ShihTzus are generally easy-going and affectionate. When in a playful mood, Shih Tzus can be feisty and mischievous. Because they are alert and attentive dogs, they make good watchdogs who may bark a lot. Shih Tzus love attention and being spoiled. They are very clever and can be trained, although they are known to be stubborn and a trainer consequently needs to be very patient. Shih Tzus generally get along well with other pets and older children.

Dear Dogs,

The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- your attendance is not required.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear dog, I have posted the following message on our front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember, Dogs are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children


Small Dogs that dont Shed, Cockapoo dle-doo

The Cockapoo is a cross between a cocker spaniel and a miniature poodle. It is a hybrid dog that is sometimes referred to as a “spoodle” or “cockerpoo” and is one of the small dogs that don’t shed. The US began breeding them in the 1960’s they can range in size from 6 pounds to about 20 pounds and come in all sorts of color variations.


In general, the Cockapoo is quite sweet natured and affectionate. An alert sociable dog, the Cockapoo strives to please its owner and gets along well with children when under supervision. Training should begin young and there are times when jealousy rears its head if their owners pay too much attention to other animals. These little guys are quite intelligent and are the perfect small pet dog for companionship.


These dogs are ideal for someone that suffers with allergies as they are one of the no shed dog breeds. The coat of the Cockapoo will vary from dog to dog. Some will have the sleeker coat of the spaniel, while others may have curlier, coarser fur like a Poodle. For many Cockapoo's, their hair will be a mixture somewhere between the two. This means that daily brushing will be required in order to keep the hair healthy and mat free and clipped at least once a year to maintain their coat.


As with a lot of smaller dogs they tend to be quite long-lived, and it's not unusual for Cockapoos to live to 15 years or more. When you are looking for small dogs that don’t shed, be sure to put the Cockapoo high on your list!
