Known for their friendly disposition, Peekapoos are generally great with young kids and can adapt well to life with other pets, including cats and dogs. They thrive on companionship and are happiest when included in family activities, making them an excellent fit for households that value social interaction. Their moderate energy level means they enjoy playtime but are also content to snuggle up on the couch after some fun, making them perfect for both active and relaxed lifestyles.

While they require weekly grooming to maintain their beautiful coats, their shedding level is manageable, making them ideal for those sensitive to allergens. Peekapoos are quite intelligent and trainable, which means you can teach them basic commands and tricks with consistent, positive reinforcement. Their moderate barking tendency makes them effective watchdogs without being overly noisy.

Living with a Peekapoo

History

Known as one of the oldest cross-bred dogs in the world, the history of the Peekapoo dates back to the 1950s and 1960s in the United States of America when a Poodle (the French/German Water Dog) was crossed with a full blood Pekingese (the China Royal breed). This crossing came as a result of the need to create a breed of low-shedding dogs that can be owned by people with allergies and asthma.

Temperament

Talking about the breed that is devoted and faithful to its owners, the Peekapoo ranks number one on the list. This breed is a very protective dog that senses danger swiftly, and when it does; it quickly alerts the entire household through its loud and insistent barking. 

And asides from backing to create awareness, the Peekapoo can fight for its owner with every strength in its petite body. The Peekapoo is a blessing to its owners, as its presence in a home adds warmth, comfort, and light to the home. 

On days when you need comfort and companionship, the Peekapoo is there on your lap all the way. Overall, this breed is an affectionate, energetic, intelligent, protective, vigilant, loyal, devoted, gentle and fearless breed. On the other side, the Peekapoo has the tendency to be overly sensitive, aloof and can snap when it is extremely stressed by humans, especially humans it is not familiar with. 

Environment

As a result of its petite stature, you can have a Peekapoo in any type of residence, either big or small. Regardless of this, it is prone to heat and it is advisable to have your Peekapoo in a well-conditioned/well-ventilated place, most especially during warm/hot weather.

Exercise

This breed requires constant and consistent exercise, and as a result of this, it is expedient that you engage your Peekapoo in exercises such as walking for a specified time frame daily. The number of minutes you walk your Peekapoo is dependent on its age and size. 

As a puppy, you walk it for 5 minutes, and as it grows, you extend the walking duration. Also, you need to train your breed in some basic mental and hygiene training, one of which is training it not to poop in the house. 

Grooming

The coat of the Peekapoo is a long, soft and wavy one and it comes in different colors namely; black, cream, red, apricot, grey, white and chocolate. This coat requires that it is trimmed regularly as a result of its non-shedding nature. 

And for those who would love to keep the coat long, you need to brush and comb the coat regularly to avoid matting and knots. Also, you should clean your breed’s eyes with a wet and warm towel regularly, and don’t forget to get its nails trimmed and its teeth brushed frequently. Your breed needs to bathe at least once a month

Our Peekapoo puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. USDA licensed commercial breeders account for less than 20% of all breeders in the country.

We only purchase puppies from the very best sources, and we stand behind every puppy we sell.

This Petland was super clean and well taken care of! It wasn’t too busy so we were able to see a dog. The workers there were super attentive and kept checking in on us and helped us pick the right puppy to see. They had a few hamsters, ferrets, and Guinea pigs. This location does not have reptiles or fish. I highly recommend coming here for all your dog needs!
