Category - Shiranian

What they are:
The Shiranian is a small designer cross usually produced by breeding a Shih Tzu with a Pomeranian. The result is a fluffy, compact dog with a lively expression and a coat that ranges from silky to dense.

Temperament:
Shiranians are affectionate, alert and often playful. They bond tightly with their families and enjoy being the center of attention. They can show a bold streak and benefit from early socialization.

Care & exercise:
Grooming can be moderate to high depending on coat fullness—regular brushing prevents mats, and occasional professional trims keep the coat tidy. Exercise needs are modest: daily walks and playtime are sufficient. Watch for small-breed dental and joint issues.

Best suited for:
People who want a small, spirited companion with lots of personality and are willing to commit to grooming and regular interaction.
