The Poo-Shi, also known as the Shih-Poo, is a hybrid breed, a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Poodle. They are small, friendly dogs with a curly coat, typically hypoallergenic, and known for their playful and affectionate nature. They thrive in family environments and require moderate exercise.

The Poo-Shi, being a designer dog breed, does not have a native region in the wild as it is a crossbreed between a Poodle and a Shiba Inu. These dogs are typically found in domestic environments across various countries, primarily where designer or hybrid dog breeds are popular.

As a domesticated breed, Poo-Shis thrive in home environments rather than wild habitats. They require a moderate climate, not too hot or cold, and need regular exercise which can be accommodated in suburban or urban settings with access to parks or open spaces.

The Poo-Shi occupies the niche of a companion animal, bred for human companionship. They are adaptable to various living situations, including apartments or houses with yards, provided they receive adequate attention, exercise, and social interaction.
