Maltese

Maltese puppies are small, but they have a big personality. They’re known for being playful and friendly, and they make great companion dogs. Maltese pups require regular grooming, and they don’t do well in cold weather.

Shih-Tzu

Shih-Tzu puppies are one of the most popular dog breeds in America. They’re known for being loving and affectionate, and they make great companion dogs. Most dog owners prefer to keep their Shih-Tzus as indoor dogs.

Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkshire Terrier puppies are small, but they have a lot of energy. They’re known for being independent and feisty, and they make great companion dogs. Yorkshire Terriers require regular grooming, and just like Maltese, they also don’t do well in cold weather.

Maltipoos

When it comes to mixed-breed dogs, Maltipoos are one of the most popular dog breeds. They’re a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle, which means they inherit the best traits of both breeds. Maltipoos are known for being intelligent, loving, and low-shedding.

Morkies

Morkies are a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. They’re small dogs that are known for being playful and affectionate. They are fun and vibrant.

Shih-Poo

A Shih-Poo is a cross between a Shih-Tzu and a Poodle. They are known for being intelligent. Shih Poo puppies are clever and can be independent. You can often motivate your dog by rewarding them with food or making them think that good behavior is their own idea.

Shih-Chon

Shih-Chons are a cross between Shih-Tzus and Bichon Frises. They are known for being loving and affectionate. The Shichons’ characteristics are a combination of those of both their parents. The Shih Tzu-Bichon mix, , and Zuchon, Teddy Bear Dog are just a few of the names given to Shichons.

Yorkiepoos

A Yorkiepoo is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle. They are known for being intelligent and independent. Like most terriers, Yorkiepoos can be headstrong, so it’s important to be consistent with training. They are less demanding than other dogs.

These are just ten of the most popular breeds of puppies in America. Some others include Labrador retrievers and Golden Retrievers. Ensure you are aware of the dog training courses available to you before bringing home your new furry friend.

What Our Friends Have To Say

Tracy Orr

We purchased “Jessie” almost 3 years ago. We named her Charley. She is the sweetest, FUNNIEST little Pom-a-Poo! She loves people and everyone loves her. She’s smart and is the apple of our eye. When we lost our poodle of 18 years, we were heartbroken. Charley has filled our home with laughter and love. Thank you, Princess Puppies and Brittany for raising such wonderful friends! ❤️ Tracy

Cheryl

Shitzu

We had a beautiful 5 year old Shitzu that we loved. A Hawk killed her the day after Christmas. We were heartbroken. We found Princess Puppies and Brittney met us at 7 pm that evening to let us meet Noel. It was love at first sight. We have had her a few days now and she is the sweetest little furbaby. Very cuddly and affectionate. Has slept with us...
