Yorkiepoos 101

Crossbred group

Blend the big-dog attitude of the Yorkshire Terrier with the brilliance of the Poodle and you have the Yorkiepoo, a bright, spunky little dog who'll keep you on your toes. The Yorkiepoo is a good fit for urban living: a bold, big personality in a small body.

What we love about Yorkiepoos

Lively little charmer perfect for small-space living

Yorkiepoos are generally friendly with everyone but can be a little snappy if pushed. Socialization and training will help prevent them from becoming spoiled misfits. They can be fragile because of their size, so they need families who’ll keep them protected.

Did you know?

As with other poodle crosses, the Yorkiepoo may be more easily tolerated by people with allergies – but no guarantees!

Yorkiepoo coat care and colors

Yorkiepoo coats can be silky like the Yorkie or curly like the Poodle. Either way, they tend to tangle easily and are typically kept clipped for ease of maintenance. Start acclimating them to nail trims early to make life easier for everyone.

Yorkiepoo exercise & training

Loves walks

Exercise level

Yorkiepoos are an active breed, but they're also a small one. They can get plenty of exercise on brisk walks or by playing games in the house.

Class clown

Trainability

The Yorkshire Terrier and the Poodle are both very intelligent breeds, but the Yorkie side adds a touch of naughtiness to the mix. Early socialization, especially for city dogs, is a must, as is setting limits to keep them from becoming little tyrants. Consistent, reward-based training is key, and throw in some tricks – they love to show off!
