Shihpoo Temperament

Shihpoo personalities can vary dramatically, as the Poodle is a common and well performing sport breed, but Shih Tzus can be stubborn. Shih-poos may be stubborn at times but that’s nothing to say about their high sociability and friendliness. This is truly a people person’s dog. Like many lapdogs, they offer a welcome balance of moderate energy and playfulness and a comfort with relaxation and sitting on your lap for hours if need be.

Ok, so I waited a couple of weeks before writing this review, and I could not be more thrilled in getting a puppy from here. I decided to get a friend for our 7 month old English Bulldog, and Silver Nickel Puppies had the PERFECT Mini Bulldog. I’ve had several Bulldogs throughout my life and upon arriving I knew she was going to be the perfect companion. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Elli actually goes and visits all the breeders herself to verify they are up to her standards, and even furnished me with the USDA inspection reports. Sal was very helpful as well and just so cheerful that you have to smile around him. Lastly, my puppy’s first check up with my personal vet could not have gone any better as she passed everything with flying colors and very healthy for a two month old. All I could say is that if I was grading this place they would have to get an A+, as I have been to many breeders and puppy stores. Bravo Silver Nickels Puppies 🐶

We came home with our Marshmellow (or Malshi) that we named Mickey on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. After doing research online, I came across Silver Nickel Puppies and I am so happy that we did. I can’t say enough about how kind the staff is and how cute and clean the store is. Renna was so great to work with! This is my first dog and he is absolutely the sweetest and just so adorable. Went to our own vet and they said he is healthy too! I would recommend Silver Nickel to anyone looking for a small, specific type of puppy!! ♥️🐶

I was very impressed by Silver Nickel at Troy’s the minute I walked in the door. Extremely clean. Each enclosure- pristine clean. Not a smell to be smelled anywhere. The puppies are all clearly happy- healthy- not too young- and they are all adorable. The owner is a woman I can relate to - strict in her rules for sanitizing your hands and handling the pups. This is all in the best interest of the dogs so of course I gladly followed them. I went there for a specific dog I saw on the website. They allowed me to spend as much time as I wanted with her while they answered all my questions. I never felt rushed. I did purchase my little lady and have been in contact with the owner with some questions I had - so they are there for you even after you walk out the door. My beautiful little girl, Kara Mia - has quickly settled into her new home. She is a Maltese Shih Tsu mix and I’m already completely in love

I cannot say enough good things! All of the employees at Silver Nickel Puppies are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and love love love all the puppies. Elli, the owner, went above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule to make sure I was able to adopt the Maltipoo puppy I fell in love with. He came home happy and healthy with appropriate puppy vaccinations. I also know that my puppy was very well socialized there because he is so comfortable with both people and dogs of all shapes and sizes. (Not only is he comfortable, he LOVES playing everyone upon meeting them.) Highly recommend Silver Nickel Puppies for a quality adoption experience and puppy!
