Welcome YorkieWho. Glad to see another Yorkipoo owner on YorkieTalk especially since there isn't another active website where you can get good information on Yorkie-Poodle mix-type dogs.

My Yorkipoo is 10 months old and weighs 4.5 pounds. His hair is all black with some auburn on his face. He has poodle-like legs and floppy ears (mama is a grey Poodle, papa is a Yorkie). I will take new pictures, since he's all black I have to take pictures in the sun or all you'll see is an ink blot.

He has beautiful, thick, wavy hair all over except on the top of his head - that part is very poodle-curly and tangles easily. The hair on your baby will grow . . . and grow . . . and grow. Remember they shed very little so you'll have to stay on top of the combing and haircutting. The first time I took Prince to the groomers was at 5 months, after that I started grooming at home to save money.

I watched your YouTube video and I don't think your dog walks funny. But if it bothers you or you think somethings not right take him to vet - I'm not an expert, just a dog lover.
