Shih-Mo

The Shih-Mo is not a purebred breed, but is a hybrid or designer dog that is the result of crossing an American Eskimo Dog with a Shih-Tzu. Because the popularity of multi-generation breeding has increased, it is not always guaranteed that the dog will be 50% of each parent breed. Not much is known about the fairly new breed, and since they are a hybrid their traits can vary. To most accurately determine the breed's characteristics, it is best to research the parent breeds.
