Yorkipoo

Yorkipoos are newer breeds, with their histories merely spanning a matter of decades, but such is the case with most designer dogs. Yoodles were bred to try and capture the best qualities of the Yorkshire Terrier and the Poodle, and many a proud owner would say that the Yorkiepoo truly captures the best of both worlds, but our furry hybrid friends just aren't as prolific as either of their parents; not yet, that is to say. As a result of the Yorkipoo's status as a relative newcomer in the animal kingdom, it's history is just not as expansive as the Yorkie's or the Poodle's. However we can still take into consideration most of what we know about Yorkies and Poodles in order to paint a more vivid picture of the Yorkipoo. Many doggy enthusiasts know that Yorkies are born and bred vermin hunters whose origins stretch all the way back to 19th century England. A mix of a few Terriers including the Skye and Manchester, this spunky little canine joined the rosters of the American Kennel Club in 1885. Many also know that Poodles are one of the oldest known dog breeds in the world and though the Germans are though tot have bred them to be excellent hunters, the French took to Poodles quite voraciously and are credited with developing the Poodle into the highly clever breed we know today. This breed was added to the American Kennel Club's list in 1888. Add the loyal and energetic personality of the Yorkie with the high intelligence and personality of the Poodle and it only makes sense that the Yorkipoo would be as charismatic and chipper as it is. The Yorkipoo's pedigree is rife with intelligence, charisma, and prey drives, giving this relative newcomer a unique combination of DNA from two of the world's most beloved and well known breeds.
