Shi-Chi

The Shi-Chi is a designer mix between the purebred Chihuahua and Shih Tzu. They are a toy-sized companion dog usually weighing between 5 and 12 pounds. They are not considered heavy shedding dogs and if the coat resembles the Shih Tzu parent, the Shi-Chi will have hypoallergenic qualities. The ShiChi is a ball of energy and shows a lot of affection with its people.  They make for an excellent family dog.
