About Larry

The Shih Pom, a delightful blend of the  Shih Tzu and Pomeranian, is a pocket-sized package of love and charm. This hybrid breed combines the best of both worlds, resulting in a companion that's both endearing and energetic. 

The Shih Pom inherits their gentle demeanor from the Shih Tzu and their spirited nature from the Pomeranian. This blend makes the Shih Pom puppy an instant favorite, capturing hearts with their playful antics and soulful eyes. 

For those who often find themselves sneezing around pets, the Shih Pom offers a breath of fresh air. Being semi to fully hypoallergenic, this breed is a suitable choice for those sensitive to pet dander. Their minimal shedding ensures that your home remains relatively fur-free, and your allergies at bay. 

Adult Shih Poms are compact, with their weight ranging from 4 to 15 lbs and a height spanning 7 to 12 inches. Their petite size makes them perfect for apartment living, ensuring they remain comfortable even in smaller spaces. 

The Shih Pom is the epitome of a lap dog. They are fond of snuggles, often seeking the warmth of their owner's lap. Their nature is tender-hearted, making them great companions for both the young and the elderly. While they are calm and composed, they also have a playful side, often showcasing their Pomeranian lineage with bursts of energy. 

With a life expectancy of 12 to 16 years, the Shih Pom is a long-term commitment. These years are filled with memories, laughter, and the unparalleled joy that only a loyal canine companion can bring.
