The right food
When choosing food, make sure that it contains high-quality ingredients, is balanced and meets your dog's requirements. Age, size or weight, activity and health status play an important role. You should follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the amount of food.
Treats should only be fed in moderation and deducted from the basic diet to avoid obesity.
Puppies can be fed 4-6 times a day. The number of meals should be gradually reduced to 2 per day until the dog is fully grown. A rest period should be observed after meals.
Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
Health & Care
The Yorkiepoo is a robust little dog, but can be prone to certain health problems. Watch out for dental problems, ear infections and eye irritation. Regular visits to the vet are important to maintain your dog's health.
Eyes and ears should be wiped regularly with a clean, damp cloth. Teeth should be brushed with toothpaste and a toothbrush for dogs.
After every walk, the paw pads should be checked for foreign bodies and the whole body should be searched for uninvited guests such as ticks and these should be removed.
The claws must be trimmed regularly if they do not wear off by themselves.
As far as grooming is concerned, your dog needs to be brushed and trimmed regularly to avoid knots and matting. You should only bathe him if it is really necessary.
Give your Yorkiepoo daily walks and plenty of playtime to meet his energy needs and keep him fit.
Suitable accessories
We recommend a range of accessories for your Yorkiepoo. A soft brush is important for regular grooming to remove tangles and keep the coat healthy.
A cozy dog bed ensures that your dog has a comfortable place to rest and relax. Lightweight cuddly blankets or a dog blanket provide additional comfort and warmth.
Lightweight, adjustable collars or harnesses and leashes are comfortable and safe for walking your Yorkiepoo.
Various toys such as chew toys, fetch and brain games provide mental stimulation and physical activity.
Suitable food bowls and fresh water are also important. Grooming products such as dog shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as eye and ear cleaner are also part of the basic equipment.
You will also need tick tweezers, claw clippers, a transport box for safe transportation in the car and a first aid kit for your dog. It's best to ask your vet what should be in the first aid kit.
Origin & History
The Yorkiepoo is a relatively young dog breed that originated in the USA in the 1990s. Breeders crossed the Yorkshire Terrier with the Poodle in order to breed a small, affectionate dog that has little hair and is suitable for allergy sufferers. At the same time, the Yorkiepoo was to inherit the intelligence and adaptability of the Poodle as well as the playfulness and charm of the Yorkshire Terrier.
The first Yorkiepoos quickly became popular and attracted the attention of dog lovers. Although the breed is not recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), it has established itself in many countries and is appreciated by many dog owners.
Today, the Yorkiepoo is a popular family dog, companion dog and therapy dog. Its loving, outgoing nature and small size make it an ideal companion for different lifestyles and living situations.
In addition, the Yorkiepoo is also very popular with allergy sufferers and in homes with limited space due to its low shedding and adaptable personality.
The history of the Yorkiepoos shows that a well-planned cross between two established breeds can result in a charming and loving hybrid dog breed that enriches the lives of many people.
