A "yorkiepoo" is simply a mixed breed dog - a first generation cross between a purebred yorkie and a purebred poodle. It is not a new breed - it is a mixed breed dog. Both parents of the puppies may be AKC registered as they are purebred, but the mixed puppies can NOT be registered with the AKC. AKC will only register purebred puppies (and the mother and father must be AKC registered).

Please Please do not breed mixed breed dogs. There is just no purpose to it...there are already way too many homeless dogs. Look on petfinder.com and you'll find plenty of yorkie and poodle mixes up for adoption. Please don't add to this. Marketing these mixes as "designer dogs" and selling them for high prices is just wrong in my opinion.

May I ask you why you are so desperate to breed your dog? Breeding is not something to take lightly - it is a huge responsibility. My baby is almost 8lbs as well, and she's a perfect pet - she is spayed. You should have your dog neutered and just enjoy him as a pet. Most dogs just are not meant to be bred.
