The Chi-Poo’s color, type of coat, and length of coat all depend upon the immediate parentage of the Chi-Poo. The parent breeds of the Chi-Poo are different in size and in the way their coat is made up. Some Chihuahuas have longer hair, like the Poodle. Others are short-haired. This will affect exactly what the Chi-Poo will look like. The smooth-coated Chihuahua has a smooth, shiny coat that is close to the body with a ruff of thicker hair on the neck. The long-coated Chihuahua has a soft coat that may be slightly curly. The ears will have an extra fringe of hair and a plumed tail. He may also have feathering on his feet. Chihuahuas may be a variety of colors, so predicted a color for its progeny is difficult. Colors range from black, white, fawn, chocolate, gray, silver, tricolor, brindle, spotted, and merle. The Poodle comes in a variety of colors: blue, black, white, gray, silver, brown, café-au-lait, apricot, and cream. The hair is generally curly, stiff, and wiry. The Poodle often demands grooming as his hair grows in various lengths over the body. Poodles are considered mid-sized. They are slender. The Chi-Poo can often have both straight and curly hair on his body. The face can have a long straight frame and directly below on the chest will be a mass of curls.
