I have both of these breeds.
A shih-poo is a mix of poodle and shih-tzu and can be registered through the CKC (Continental Kennel Club @ www.ckc.com). And a shih-tzu is a full blooded breed and can be registed through the AKC or CKC.
When I got my shih-poo I was told the reason they bred the poodle to the shih-tzu is to get the look of a shih-tzu and the brains of a poodle.
My shih-poo is super smart! She is not high strung like a poodle and she is much cuter!

A shih-poo is a mix between a shih-tzu and a poodle, incidentally they are considered mixed breeds (mutts) and cannot be registered with AKC..........

A Shih-poo is a mixed breed. It's given a fancy designer name so money hungry "breeders" can charge more for them.
