Custom Shih-Poo Portrait Made From Your Photo
Shih-Poos are small crosses of Shih Tzu and Poodle, with a soft, wavy-to-curly coat and a round, short-muzzled face. Coat length, curl, and color vary widely from dog to dog, so a portrait built from your specific photo captures far more than a generic Shih-Poo look.
What does a custom Shih-Poo portrait include?
Every Shih-Poo portrait is built around what makes the breed unmistakable: the wavy to curly coat, the round short-muzzled face, and the large dark round eyes. A custom Shih-Poo portrait from Pet on Canvas is made from your photo and starts at $24.99 (under $30) for a high-resolution digital portrait; gallery-wrapped Custom Canvases start at $49.99 and include the digital file. You choose watercolor, oil painting, pencil sketch, pop art, surrealist, or anime style, and a digital proof arrives in 2-3 business days, or 1-2 days with the $10 expedited option. Unlimited revisions are included before approval, an extra pet in the same portrait adds $20, and standard U.S. canvas delivery usually takes about 6-7 business days after approval.

What makes Shih-Poo portraits special?
Shih-Poos are a first-generation cross of Shih Tzu and Poodle, and coat length and curl vary widely as a result. Some lean toward the Shih Tzu's straighter, longer coat, others toward the Poodle's tighter curl, and there is no single correct Shih-Poo coat to default to.
Color is just as varied: gold and white, solid black, cream, and brown and white all show up regularly, and we always match your dog's specific combination from the photo rather than assuming the most commonly pictured gold and white look.
The face stays fairly consistent across the cross, round with a short muzzle and large, dark, expressive eyes, and that consistency is part of why the face carries so much of the portrait's likeness, even when the coat itself varies a great deal from dog to dog.
Watercolor suits the coat's softness particularly well, oil painting adds depth to darker coloring, and pop art works nicely for a Shih-Poo with a bright, cheerful expression that suits a bolder, more graphic treatment.
A Shih-Poo who shares the house with another pet can share the canvas too: portraits of two or more pets are painted from separate photos.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shih-Poo Portraits
Why do Shih-Poo coats vary so much between dogs?
Shih-Poos are a first-generation cross, and coat length, curl, and color depend on how strongly the Shih Tzu or Poodle side comes through in a given litter. We paint from your dog's actual coat rather than a fixed template, which is why the portrait feels specific to your dog.
What Shih-Poo coat colors do you paint?
Gold and white, black, cream, and brown and white are all common, and any of them reads as correct for this cross. We match your dog's specific color and pattern from your photo rather than defaulting to the most commonly seen gold and white combination.
What art styles suit a Shih-Poo best?
Watercolor suits the soft wavy or curly coat beautifully. Oil painting adds richness to darker coats like black or brown and white. Pop art turns the round, expressive face into a bold, cheerful graphic image.

Digital portraits start at $24.99, with Custom Canvases from $49.99 for an 8x8 up to $99.99 for a 30x40. Expedited 1-2 day proof delivery adds $10, and a second pet in the same portrait costs $20 more.
