Look at me! I am a Yorkiepoo puppy! My Mom is Rosina a 9 lb Toy Poodle and my Dad is Carl a 12 lb Yorkie. I was born on August 7th and I will be ready for my forever home on October 3rd! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I will be checked by a veterinarian and microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Ada Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
This small, perky little dog is a mix of a Yorkshire Terrier and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. The Yorkipoo was first developed during the 1980’s and 1990’s as a companion breed and for those who suffer from allergies. Smart, adoring, and gentle they make great therapy dogs but may suffer from separation anxiety if left alone too long. The Yorkipoo is a great breed for an elderly person, as well as for new dog owners. They would do well living in an apartment, but can have a propensity to bark so that could be an issue with the neighbors. Fun-loving and delightful this breed has a great deal of self-confidence bordering on being pushy at times. The Yorkipoo is typically 7-15 inches high, and usually weighs 3-14 pounds. The Yorkipoo thinks they are a big dog, but forget they reside in a small body. Playful and charming they get along well with children and other pets, but do better with older children. The Yorkipoo does need about 20-30 minutes of exercise a day, which can be either indoors, or outdoors going for a walk. Because they are so intelligent they are easy to train, but can be strong-willed at times. To have a well-behaved dog it is best to give them early training and socialization. They are loyal and easy-going, and can easily go from being a lap dog to investigating the world around them. Their coat can be soft and long like the Yorkshire Terrier or curly like their Poodle parent.
