Description

The Yorkiepoo, also called a Yorkiedoodle or a Yo-Yopoo, is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

There are a few different ways breeders are producing Yorkipoos. Ask the breeder you contact which type of hybrid they breed.
F1 = 50% Yorkshire Terrier and 50% Poodle - This is Yorkie to Poodle cross; this is first generation, resulting in healthier offspring. Hair type can be long like a Yorkie, or wavy like a Poodle, pups in the same litter can vary.
F1b = 25% Poodle and 75% Yorkshire Terrier (F1 Yorkipoo and Yorkie cross) - This is Yorkipoo bred back to Yorkie. Coat turns out more like the Yorkie. This F1b hybrid type has been given the name Yo-Yopoo.
F1b = 25% Yorkshire Terrier and 75% Poodle (F1 Yorkipoo and Poodle cross) - This is Yorkipoo bred back to Poodle. It is a wavy, curly, shaggy looking Doodle very consistent in coat types.
F2 = F1 Yorkipoo and F1 Yorkipoo cross - In this combination you get the same percentage of Yorkshire Terrier mix as you would in an F1 Yorkipoo.
F3 = F2 Yorkipoo and F2 Yorkipoo cross
Multi-generation = F3 or higher generation Yorkipoo and F3 or higher generation Yorkipoo cross

"We naturally took the role as alpha leaders for our Malik. Any human that lets his/her dog run the pack/family did not do his/her research before accepting his/her four-legged friend into the household. This is Malik at 4 months."

"He is a well-trained dog and has been so since he was a puppy. We did not want him raised as the "typical lap dog." He fetches toys by name, can leave a treat on his nose and sprints around the apartment on command. Sometimes he gets overly excited when meeting new people and dogs so we would like to socialize him more often. Otherwise, he has a very good temperament. This is Malik when he was 2 months old and about 2.5 lbs."
