Hello! Welcome to Pet Talk!
I have a Shih Poo myself. A Shih Tzu/Poodle mix for anyone who doesn't know.
Her name is Darlin and she turned a year old this month on the 17th. She is all white, with apricot colored ears. You can barley see the apricot anymore, but you used to be able to see it real good!
A little info for you to look at...
Darlin is stubborn. It's pretty hard to teach her tricks because she either won't do them, or will think I'm playing with her. She only knows sit, and will only do it when she feels like it.
We also have another dog. He's a 14 week old puppy named Ozzy, and he's a smooth collie. They get along, but when Darlin has had enough of him she lets him know it and snaps at him. Hehehe, it's okay though, she's never really bitten him.
She's also very tolorant at the same time. Ozzy likes to wrestle hard, and she'll only wrestle every once and a while. Maybe three times a day.
Anyways, Ozzy will bite her ears, pull her tail, scratch her, bark at her, nip her and just plain torcher her! She puts up with it though and tries her hardest to knock him over! Hehe.
She is so SPOILED. She gets almost anything she wants! Sheesh, we should have named her Miss Snobby Pants or Princess.
Darlin has the speed of a greyhound. Good lord, that dog can run!! She loves to sit outside and watch for birds flying in the sky. The bird will fly overhead and she'll chase them to the fence! It's hilarious!
Also, we have bunnies and quails in our backyard so whenever she finds one she'll chase it. She gets right on those bunnie's tails, and has even learned the sort of..herd them! She'll nip at it's feet, barking and sprint ahead of it and then try to corner it off. It's the funniest thing! I guess that's what you get for owning a collie!
Darlin's also a yapper. She has what we call a bark collar. It's not a shocker caller, it just makes a verrrry high pitched noise that goes off whenever she barks. It works, but when we take it off she knows and uses whatever chance she'll get to bark at the neighbors' dogs.
On top of all, she is a sweetie. Her favorite things are being held and cuddled, and BELLY RUBS. She LOVES belly rubs. Beware the belly rubs!!!
Okay okay..here are the pics.
This is what she looked like when we got her...see the apricot?


She grew into such a pretty girl..
