I have a female shih poo she is very laid back . She won’t jump on you she very mellow. Couldn’t ask for a better dog. She 21/2 years old she has had 2 litter of puppies. She a great mama to her babies and any other puppy’s as well. She would make a great companion for older couple because she so calm . Please open your heart and home and welcome Miss Daisy May into your heart
