History of the origin of the Yorkipoo breed

The first Yorkipoo puppies appeared less than ten years ago; the breed is relatively new. The dogs’ ancestors were an English Yorkshire terrier bitch and a purebred German poodle. The origin of the breed is still unknown; some sources place the first puppies to have appeared in the USA, while others trace the lineage of a new line to Australia.

International cynological organizations do not recognize Yorkie-poos, like they do not recognize other hybrids. Since there isn’t yet a single breed standard, puppies can have the appearance of poodles or Yorkies. Yo-Yopoos participate in shows as a designer breed, though. There are a lot of clubs overseas that encourage hybrid variety experiments.

Fans really adore the breed’s representatives, and puppies grow up in an enviable amount of time. Children frequently emulate their parents, which leads to them obtaining a small dog with a unique appearance and an upbeat attitude.

However, it’s important to remember that genetics doesn’t always work in favor of you and that puppies can inherit the strangest combinations of genes. Poodles and Yorkov are still crossed by modern breeders; breeding purebred Yorkipa is limited to overseas markets. In Russia, there are no officially recognized nurseries; all puppy breeding is done by amateurs.

A fun, clever, and loving cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle, the Yorkipoo is the ideal small, low-shedding dog for any family or individual seeking a canine companion. The Yorkipoo thrives in both apartments and houses thanks to its amiable disposition and capacity to adapt to a variety of living situations. It equally enjoys cuddling and interactive play. This charming hybrid is a terrific option for people looking for a loving, active pet without the hassles of rigorous exercise or extensive grooming. It is easy to train and full of personality.

Distinctive features

It is challenging to characterize the Yorkie Poodle because there isn’t a set standard; puppies frequently inherit different genes, which causes them to differ in size and appearance. The larger the poodle, the higher and more massive the puppy will be, according to breeders who believe that external data directly affects poodle size.

Breed Overview:

• Head: the occipital part is wide, rounded, the muzzle is slightly elongated.
• Eyes: round, the iris is dark brown, less often hazel.
• Ears: hanging on cartilage with a rounded edge, medium size.
• Body: dogs have a proportional build, a shortened body, a well-developed chest.
• Limbs: proportional to the body, paws are collected in a lump, claws are black or white (depending on the color).
• Tail: medium length, well-furred. In a calm state hangs to the hock, in active takes the form of a sickle.
• Coat: according to the amateur standard, wavy coat of medium length is preferred, but short or straight is acceptable. The coat on the body is of uniform length, with a pronounced "whisker" on the muzzle.

There is a range of colors among the breed’s representatives. A yorkipoo coat can be silver, cream, chocolate, dark brown, black, or white. Spotted, tri-colored, and bi-colored options are acceptable.

Characteristics and behavior of Yorkipoo

It’s evident from reading owner reviews that Yorkies are happy, gregarious, and energetic dogs. They are devoted to their owner and family, but when they are left alone for an extended period of time, they can become depressed. Those who spend a lot of time outside the home are advised against purchasing this breed, according to breeders.

Yorkshire poos get along well in loud, big families with kids and other animals. They get along well with birds, rodents, dogs, and cats. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t leave the dog alone with rodents because some four-legged animals might have Yorkie-rat catcher genes.

Breed members are able to live in a private home with a big walking yard, and they are able to adjust well to the living conditions of an apartment in the city. However, keep in mind that Yorkipoodles are ornamental dogs and are not meant to live in kennels or aviaries.

Yorkipoos do not exhibit overt aggression, but they are wary and mistrustful of strangers. Being aware of their property’s boundaries and prepared to bark at any intruder, they make great guards. However, the dog will eventually demand its share of love and care if it notices the owner’s good location to the visitor.

Breeders claim that because Yorkies have a propensity to bark, Yorkiepoos should be trained to be quiet from a young age. On the other hand, because poodle genes predominate, there are also pets that are extremely quiet. When left alone, they typically wait for their owner to return rather than pulling practical jokes.

Advantages

It is challenging to identify particular benefits because the breed is relatively new and its members are born with distinct gene pools. However, an approximate list can be made if the benefits of their ancestors are considered.

Benefits

1. unusual appearance;
2. hypoallergenic wool;
3. innate friendliness;
4. small size;
5. sociable character;
6. many color options.

Training dogs to use a tray or diaper reduces the amount of time they spend walking on the streets, which is an additional benefit.

Disadvantages

There are no overt drawbacks for members of the breed, and those that do exist can all be readily mitigated.

Cons:

• tendency to causeless barking (but not all);
• do not tolerate loneliness;
• pronounced tendency to obesity;
• relatively high, unjustified price for puppies.

Because the breed is extremely uncommon and there are no kennels with official registration in Russia, the only place to purchase a puppy with the correct genetic makeup is overseas.

Care and maintenance

York poos require little upkeep or attention. They won’t cause the owner any issues if you give them the right food and exercise.

Nutrition

These little dogs are surprisingly highly gluttonous and prone to obesity. Breeders advise using ready-made rations while accounting for the needs of each individual. They give the dog everything they need while also preventing allergies and weight gain. They fully meet the daily requirements for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

In determining the daily norm, considerations such as the pet’s age, activity level, and health indicators must be made. A Yorkiepoo cannot be overfed, spoiled with treats, or fed food off the table.

Adult dogs should eat two to three times a day, while babies under six months should eat four times. If the dog is not satisfied, you should split up the recommended daily amount into multiple meals; however, you should only increase the portion if a veterinary nutritionist advises you to do so.

Natural diets are rarely fed to yorkiepoos because it can be challenging to determine the proper ratios of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. However, the owner needs to consider the breed’s unique characteristics if he chooses to continue feeding the dog natural products.

Pets should eat up to 55% high-quality protein foods (fish, meat, offal, and cottage cheese) and 25% vegetable carbohydrates (porridge), with the remaining 20% going to complementary foods, vegetables, fruits, and fermented milk products. Fatty amino acids and vitamins and minerals need to be added to a natural diet.

Health

Breed representatives can be identified by their generally good health and robust immune systems. The Yorkiepoo’s propensity for obesity and genetic diseases of the eyes that it inherited from Yorkshire terriers are really its only real issues. These are generally healthy dogs that can live up to fifteen years.

Vaccinations

Yo-Yopoo requires yearly vaccinations, just like any other animal with four legs.

1. The first vaccination is given after two months;
2. Repeated after 2-3 weeks;
3. Revaccination must be carried out annually.

Leptospirosis, rabies, enteritis, and the plague of carnivores should all be included in the vaccination.

Diseases

Talking about genetic and hereditary issues is premature because the breed was only introduced a decade ago. It is only possible to compile disease statistics twenty years after distinct breed lines have formed. All illnesses found in Yorkipa are genetic disorders specific to Yorkshire terriers and mini-podels.

Typical illnesses

• dermatological problems: peeling, dandruff, atopic dermatitis;
• hip and elbow dysplasia;
• epilepsy;
• allergies;
• obesity;
• Addison"s disease;
• patellar dislocations;
• portosystemic shunt;
• hypothyroidism;
• diseases of the organs of vision.

Statistics show that because crossbreeding lowers the chance of inheriting hereditary diseases, puppies are more frequently born perfectly healthy.

Walking

Although yorkiepoodles can be trained to "home potty," walking the dog is still necessary. Breeders advise taking your pet for daily walks and setting aside 20 to 30 minutes each morning and evening for promenading. Walking should be combined with active games, jogging, and jumping to help the dog burn off excess energy.

Wool care

Depending on the type of wool, different care procedures are required; many owners choose to shorten the length to minimize combing. Long, wavy haired pets typically require three weekly brushings, with special attention to the hair on the chest and muzzle that gets soiled during meals.

Rubber massage brushes can be used once a week to brush dogs with short, straight hair. Pets should be bathed 1-2 times every six months, regardless of hair type; show pets can be washed prior to each event.

Mating

There isn’t the required control over mating because of the absence of rules and registration in the FCI. Breeding of pedigreed poodles and yorkies is permitted; typically, the former are males and the latter are females. Puppies that receive this treatment are more likely to inherit the required genes. Only in countries where there are "pure" lines of the former Yo-Yopoo is intrabreed crossing practiced.

Basics of training

Yorkipu inherited a lively disposition, developed intelligence, and stubbornness from their ancestors. Working with the puppy from the very beginning of the move is essential if you want the pet to grow up being obedient. They need to be socialized early on because a baby will grow up fearful if he doesn’t interact with family and strangers.

Dogs are good at remembering complicated commands, are capable of picking up tricks, and can compete in agility. A happy and energetic dog is willing to work for a simple treat and praise; it is crucial for breed representatives to have the owner’s approval so they put in their best effort.

How to choose a Yorkie-Poodle puppy

General recommendations are important to consider when selecting a puppy. A baby should never be purchased based solely on a photo; instead, you should meet the baby in person and look through the entire litter as well as the parent pair. The puppy needs to be vaccinated according to age (starting at two months), and the parents need to have documents stating that there are no genetic issues.

Purchasing a puppy from a reliable breeder overseas is preferable to paying more and purchasing the puppy from Russian breeders, though keep in mind that the puppy might not be purebred.

Price

Since the breed does not have any official standards and is not registered with the FCI, it is challenging to determine the price of puppies. The cost of babies from Russian amateur breeders ranges from 20,000 to 70,000 rubles on average. between $1,000 and $2,500,000 from overseas professional breeders.

Where to buy a Yorkiepoo in Russia

All of the places in Russia where you can currently purchase a Yorkiepoo puppy are Avito and similar websites. Both enthusiastic breeders and amateurs sell babies. It’s crucial to exercise caution because a confusing crossbreed might be offered for sale as a purebred puppy. Only overseas kennels are officially involved in the breeding of designer breeds.

For families or individuals searching for a small, amiable dog, the Yorkipoo is an adorable and active friend. They are a pleasure to be around, whether at home or on adventures, thanks to their loving disposition and playful nature.

Even though their grooming requirements are minimal, it’s still crucial to give them regular care and attention to maintain the health of their coats. They also benefit from mental stimulation, so including training and playtime in their daily schedule will keep them content and well-mannered.

The Yorkipoo is a fantastic option if you’re searching for a dog that blends the finest qualities of the Poodle and Yorkshire Terrier. Their intelligence, adaptability, and loving disposition guarantee that they’ll quickly win your heart as a family member.
