What we love about Yorkiepoos
Lively little charmer perfect for small-space living
Yorkiepoos are generally friendly with everyone but can be a little snappy if pushed. Socialization and training will help prevent them from becoming spoiled misfits. They can be fragile because of their size, so they need families who’ll keep them protected.

Yorkiepoo coat care and colors
Yorkiepoo coats can be silky like the Yorkie or curly like the Poodle. Either way, they tend to tangle easily and are typically kept clipped for ease of maintenance. Start acclimating them to nail trims early to make life easier for everyone.
How often should I bathe my Yorkiepoo?
Yorkiepoos can be bathed monthly, weekly or as needed (if they roll in mud, for example!). Use a pet-specific shampoo and conditioner or an all-in-one product. If your dog’s coat or skin isn’t looking healthy, check with your veterinary healthcare team to see what might be causing the problem.
How often should I brush my Yorkiepoo?
Many Yorkiepoos are kept clipped short by a professional groomer. Weekly brushing and combing between appointments will keep your Yorkiepoo's coat in good shape.
What kind of coat does my Yorkiepoo have?
As with other crossbreds, coat type will vary with the Yorkiepoo. Some tend towards the silky coat of the Yorkshire Terrier, while others will have the curls of the Poodle.
