Breed Information

Overview

This breed is active and loving, as well as fiercely loyal. The Yorkie-Poo is also incredibly confident and can be somewhat stubborn due to their Yorkshire Terrier heritage. These dogs love to learn, so they will be easy to train and happy to please. They enjoy learning through games, obstacles, and tasks, which makes them perfect for children! If you decide to adopt a Yorkie-Poo, you will need to give them extensive socializing. If dogs, in general, are not properly socialized they will often become aggressive and anxious. Yorkshire Terriers and Yorkie-Poos are no exceptions to this rule. When they are puppies, socialize them with other canines and new people. Then, they will know they are safe around others, even when you’re not there.

The Yorkie poo is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and Mini Poodle. These tiny-but-mighty canines originated in the United States. Well-socialized, these rambunctious little pups tend to be friendly, smart, sweet, and somewhat mischievous if given the opportunity.

Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other canine clubs and dog registries. The American Canine Hybrid Club, International Designer Canine Registry, Designer Dog Kennel Club, and Designer Breed Registry all recognize the Yorkie poo.

Temperament

Yorkie poos are loving and loyal little dogs that love nothing more than being around their favorite humans and receiving attention from them. Well-socialized, they get along with children and other dogs. Despite being small, they can have a high prey drive, so may need extra training and socialization around other pets. Because they are so small, especially as puppies, Yorkiepoos can be easily injured by accidental rough play or falls that can be common with young children. Because of this, they are generally recommended for families with older children. Regardless, it's important for interactions between young kids and puppies to be closely supervised. Although well-socialized Yorkie poos tend to warm up to strangers once introduced, they can be initially wary and prone to barking a lot. It’s a good idea to train your dog to stop barking early on to keep this to alerting and not a nuisance. It’s also important to socialize and train your Yorkie poo early and throughout their life to ensure they do not develop aggressive tendencies or undesirable behaviors.
