Question
How tall do Shi-poos grow?

Answer
Hi Cheve;
Because Chi-Poos are not a purebred dog, rather a mix between chihuahua and Poodle, and breeders do not foloow the same criteria that breeders of purebred dogs follow, sometimes there is more of one breed than the other, so height etc are hard to determine. There are no standards.
There is not always a 50?50 mix.
So the best I can tell you is that it could be as small as a chihuahua or as large as the poodle, whichever size poodle.
There are several sizes for a poodle, all recognized breeds. The tiny teacup is usually around 3 or 4 inches and, the tiny toy is usually 8nder ten inches. Then you have the toy, and the miniature, and the standard sizes.
