Chi-Poo puppies for sale in British Columbia

Breed history

The Chi-Poo, a cross between a Chihuahua and a Toy Poodle, is a modern designer breed that likely originated in the United States in the late 20th or early 21st century. Created to combine the spunky, loyal personality of the Chihuahua with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Toy Poodle, the Chi-Poo was bred primarily as a compact, affectionate companion dog. While not officially recognized by major kennel clubs, this hybrid has gained popularity for its small size, lively temperament, and suitability for apartment living. The Chi-Poo reflects a growing trend of intentional crossbreeding aimed at blending desirable traits from two beloved toy breeds.
