Living with a Yorkiepoo

History

This breed was created in the United States by crossing a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle. It may be bred from either two purebred parents or two hybrid parents and retains its puppy size even when it grows into an adult. It was originally designed to be a companion dog that is suitable to live with allergy sufferers and to also create a small dog without the disease of both the Yorkshire and poodle.

Temperament

Yorkiepoo is a happy dog with lots of confidence regardless of its small size; it is a breed that is very happy and comfortable in its own skin. It has a gentle and loving disposition with an easy-going temperament. It is also less demanding than many other dogs its size. Its temperament can be dependent on hereditary, training and socialization. With the right blend of all these, Yorkiepoo is a dog with a nice temperament.

Environment

This breed can thrive just fine in any kind of home and makes an excellent companion for elderly people. However, it is not recommended for homes with little children because of their small size and frailness. Yorkiepoo is too small to live outside and should be kept indoors for its well being. It enjoys being in the company of people and also participating in family activities. Yorkiepoo also enjoys looking at the world from its owner’s laps.

Exercise

Yorkiepoo is very active and energetic and requires daily exercise. It enjoys a daily walk or romps in the yard. It also enjoys playing a game of fetch, 20 to 30 minutes of walking is highly recommended for the Yorkiepoo in order to keep it in the best shape possible. Its energetic self will keep it going until it runs out of energy.

Grooming

Yorkiepoo requires adequate grooming in order to keep its coat silky and healthy, daily brushing helps to prevent tangles. Hair should also be brushed away from its eyes to prevent irritation; either this or the hair around its eyes can be trimmed with a pair of scissors. Yorkiepoos coat should be trimmed regularly to whatever preferred length and should be bathed only when necessary. Its teeth should be brushed at least two times weekly in order to remove the buildup and prevent dental problems. Its nails should also be trimmed regularly but not too far so as to avoid bleeding. Its ears should be cleaned and checked regularly to detect any infection.

Our Yorkipoo 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.

The unregulated breeders who are selling outside of the USDA regulations and without a license are what we consider to be “Puppy Mills.” We are committed to offering Yorkipoo puppies who will grow up to become important members of your family. 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!
