The Shihpoo is a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Toy (or Miniature) Poodle. Depending on which parental genes are dominant, your Shih-Poo might have a curly or long, straight coat. These dogs are usually 8 to 15 inches high at the shoulder and weigh between 7 and 20 pounds. The Shihpoo's large, sweet eyes match its friendly and playful personality. They are ideal for adults and older children, and they make very effective watchdogs.

The dogs of Connecticut are welcomed into many varied establishments, from breweries and salons to parks and campsites. If you and your furry pal are outdoor enthusiasts, you’ll enjoy the Southbury Dog Park, the Bear Mountain Reservation and the Jennings Dog Beach. You’ll find plenty of hiking trails and campgrounds where the two of you can run around and play throughout Connecticut. If you’re both looking for something a bit more cosmopolitan, take a stroll along Evergreen Walk and go right into the boutique shops you find along the way. Leashed dogs can explore the Mystic Seaport Museum shipyard and Mystic River in a small boat alongside their family members.
Like most Americans, the favourite dog of most people in Connecticut is the Labrador Retriever.
You can hike the Cascades trail at Mohegan Lake with your dog off-leash!
Dogs are allowed in the pet-friendly SoNo Collection Mall alongside their owners.
