Yorkipoo

The breed

The Yorkipoo is a small companion dog created by crossing a Yorkshire Terrier with a Poodle. Its appearance can vary, but it often has a compact body, bright expressive eyes, floppy or semi-erect ears, and a soft coat that may be curly, wavy, or silky. Colors include black, brown, cream, gray, apricot, and combinations with white or tan markings.

Yorkipoos are generally lively, affectionate, and people-oriented. They often inherit the Yorkie’s bold, alert personality along with the Poodle’s intelligence and playful nature. Many are enthusiastic little dogs that enjoy attention and interaction, and they can be surprisingly confident for their size. Their energy level ranges from moderately active to quite spirited, depending on the individual.
