The Shiranian is a small, fluffy companion dog resulting from a crossbreed between a Shih Tzu and a Pomeranian. Known for its lively personality and affectionate nature, this breed sports a soft, thick coat in various colors. Shiranians are intelligent and adapt well to family life, thriving in both urban and rural environments.

The Shiranian is not a naturally occurring wild animal species but a hybrid breed, resulting from the crossbreeding of two domesticated dog breeds: the Shih Tzu and the Pomeranian. Therefore, it does not have a native region in the wild. The parent breeds originated from China (Shih Tzu) and the historical Pomerania region (Pomeranian), which is now part of modern-day Germany and Poland.

As a domestic hybrid, the Shiranian is typically found in household environments. They are well-suited to living in a variety of climates, provided they have access to shelter and comfort. They thrive in indoor living conditions with moderate temperatures.

The Shiranian's ecological niche is as a companion animal. They are bred to be pets, providing companionship and affection to their owners. They require human care, including feeding, grooming, and medical attention, and do not survive in the wild.
