Introduction

The Yorkipoo is a Yorkshire Terrier crossed with a Miniature or Toy Poodle, creating a cute and playful all-rounder that loves to be at the heart of family life. People-oriented and affectionate, they love to entertain, and at the end of a busy and active day, they’ll snuggle up on any available lap to watch TV.

History

The Yorkipoo’s origins are unknown, but like other “designer dogs” and popular hybrids, the first intentional mix was most likely in the 1990s and in North America, although it’s a mix of breeds that may already have existed in mongrels. The Yorkshire Terrier has origins dating back to the 1800s in England and the Poodle’s origins go way back to German ancestors in the 15th century.

Personality

The combination of the Yorkshire Terrier’s affectionate, outgoing personality and the Poodle’s intelligence and energy creates a super-sociable bundle of fun that makes the Yorkipoo an increasingly popular family pet and companion. Both parents are working breeds and this is seen in the Yorkipoo’s need to be “busy” and involved in everything that’s going on, but in a suitable home environment where they get to be the centre of attention, they are charming, playful, clever little dogs that offer, fun, friendship, and undying loyalty.

Health Issues as a hybrid breed, the Yorkipoo is less susceptible to hereditary conditions that can affect its purebred parents. Patellar luxation can be an issue in small dog breeds.
Care Tips Yorkipoos are generally low maintenance in terms of grooming, depending on the coat type. Grooming: a twice-weekly brush is generally enough to keep coats looking good, but longer hair requires daily care to avoid tangles and matting. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise each day split into two walks is needed, but ideally an hour or more with as much free time to play in a secure garden as possible. Yorkipoos are lively and intelligent and need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise to keep them happy and out of mischief.
