Other names Yorkiepoo, Yorkapoo, Yorkerpoo, Yoodle

A yorkiepoo (also called a yorkapoo or yoodle) is a hybrid dog, bred for the first time in the United States, by crossing a Yorkshire Terrier and a poodle (in most cases the miniature poodle or toy poodle), or by breeding yorkiepoo to yorkiepoo.

Description

Yorkiepoos may range in height from 7-15 inches and may weigh between 2 and 14 pounds [1]. These dogs may be bred from two purebred parents or two hybrid parents. They tend to have a smooth coat, of silky and wavy hair, and can come in a variety of colors. Yorkiepoos can be social with other dogs but may not be friendly with children[2].

Registration

Associations such as the AKC, the UKC, and the CKC, do not recognize the Yorkipoo, or any other designer cross, as a breed.
