Yorkiepoos

A Yorkie-poo is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier (nickname Yorkie) and a miniature or toy Poodle.

Poodle mixes are at the forefront of the “hybrid movement”. Hybrids, or crosses, aim to eliminate the health problems associated with deeply inbred purebreds while providing the best of both breeds involved in the cross.

It’s likely that your Yorkie Poo’s temperament will be intelligent, loyal, confident, gentle, and affectionate. Most Yorkie Poos love to get the attention involved with cuddling. But cuddly as they are, it is not a good idea to mix your Yorkie Poo with little children who haven’t yet learned to deal with active, wriggly dogs. Also, a Yorkie Poo is fairly fragile and can be easily injured with rough handling.

Yorkie Poos don’t like being left alone and can suffer from separation anxiety. They don’t do well in homes where no one is around during the day. They make especially good pets for retired seniors.
