WELL I AGREE THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR IS NOT THE REASON TO BREED THESE DOGS, BUT HAVE YOU TRIED FINDING A SMALL DOG AT YOUR LOCAL POUND LATELY, I FOUND A YEAR LONG WAITING LIST FOR ANY DOG UNDER 15 LBS

I waited over a year for mine, but it was well worth it. You can put your name in at the shelters and put down what kind of dog your looking for and they call you when one comes in. A lot of their dogs are also in foster care, and so when you go in to look at the dogs, generally the small ones are in someones home instead of those stalls.

They Dont Shed They Are Outgoing And Funny, To Be Around, They Are Lovable, Smart, And The Cutest Little Dogs Hes Been A Blessing And My Chihuahuas Best Friend. Im Not Sure Whos Personalitie Hes Taking After As I Dont Know Much About Either Breed As Pure Breds I Just Know This Yorkiepoo Is Turning Out To Be The Most Clown Like Little Devil Who Is Sensitive, Thoughtful Yet Very Outgoing And Non Aggressive Towards Kids Or Other People. If Anything He Loves Everyone. He Also Gets Crazy Wild About Wanting To Play With Other Dogs No Matter What Breed They Are. So If Your Considering Getting A Yorkipoo, I Will Tell You From My Own Personal Experience And Depending On How You Raise Them They Are Wonderful Little Dogs.

Just wanted to add a comment here

Not all yorkie poo's are less expensive than yorkies

My yorkie poo was 1,000 (which I would never pay again for a cross now that I know better).. and I could have gotten a yorkie for less than that

Since the designer mixes are so in demand right now, they're charging more than purebreds half the time!

Good luck in your search. Decide on whatever you like after reading and ask questions because at the end of the day, you are the one that is going to take care of your dog and love the dog. Choose your breeder well because that goes a long way. I didn't know better but it is important. Any dog you are getting, an adopted dog, designer or purebred; be sure to love it as much as you can as his life depend on you. I am a huge dog lover and I'd prefer to adopt; mix or pure breed doesn't matter. Just know their characteristic of the breed and make sure they are what you want and what you can live with, shedding and all.

MyTrixie143 · 03-08-2007, 01:22 AM

I have a yorkiepoo, her name is Trixie. And she does not shed. I have allergies towards dogs and I have no problems when I am around her like I do with my cocker spaniel. She is 9 pounds which is still small. Her dad was a yorkie and her mom was a minature poodle which explains her size. Her personalty is one of a kind. She is hyper and loves playing and running but she can also calm down and cuddle with you, she is super friendly and loves giving kisses. She is really smart, I had her potty trained in such a short time, I only wish my yorkies potty trained that fast and easy,lol!! She learns at a fast rate and is always willing to please. In fact, don't tell my other dogs this, but she is the smartest dog in the house. She has no health problems. I paid $500 for her and would do it again in a heartbeat. I don't have any problems with people mixing yorkies and poodles as long as they do their research and take responsibilty and only want the best for the dogs and doesn't sell them at a outrageous price. $500 to me is a good price, $1000 however is over priced, IMO.
I don't support breeding all mixes, yorkiepoos and morkies happen to be the two that I like because believe they have alot to offer.

I could never have gotten a small mix breed at our pound. Only big dogs come in and there is such a long waiting list for a small dog that when they do come in they are already taken. Let's just say I know someone who is actively on a waiting list for a small dog to come in and it has been over two years and she still isn't at the top of the list yet. They also have very strict rules when adopting, some of the rules are even ridiculous. So around here, rescuing isn't always an option.

Her is a picture of my Trixie. She is actually chocolate and tan but you can't see it in the pictures. And she doesn't have as big of a muzzle or nose as it looks in the picture, her nose and muzzle are actually the same size as my yorkies.

MITZI56 · 03-08-2007, 02:26 AM

well its nice to hear that others are loving and enjoying their yorkiepoos as much as i enjoy mine, i only wish i had kennel trained him from the beggining which i tried but i couldnt get him to quit his whining and crying as he wanted to get out, so needless to say he still has accidents, but not as frequently as i keep him on the bed with me until its time to go out. and it seems to be working. as far as paying 500.00 dollars for a mixed breed i have to agree with the last persons comments about it, thats outrageous! I thought I paid an outrages price of 300.00 for mine, but i guess as she said its the almighty dollar that takes presidence!!. I guess millions of people are paying for it out of frustration of not finding them in the pounds or at least many pounds. and again its still a lot cheaper than the thousands their asking for the purebreds. but if I had to pay 500.00 or more for a mixed breed id just rather keep the breeds pure and pay the extra 500 or so for them. not that these mixed breeds are not really nice dogs and maybe even better tempermented being that they have mixed temperments. but all and all we have enough dogs sitting in the pounds just waiting for a loving home and if you can handle a little larger dog and have the yard for them, by all means help those poor pups out! I just couldnt handle a larger dog and have found many pound dogs to have unknown backgrounds who at times have come out being mean tempered or having emotional problems due to the abuse many of them go through. (past experience with such dogs). BUt if i had the time and money I would take every single one of those pound dogs, put them through training to help them get over their problems and love every single one of them no matter how homely, sickly or troubled they were. I can no longer go to the pound as it breaks my heart to know i can only take one when they all need homes! maybe one day i can afford to do this and be their to rescue all the worst and least apt to be adopted. so please if there is any chance of being able to take a pound dog and help him through whatever he needs, by all means do so!! i personally just couldnt afford the dog whisperer to come to help me with my past dogs. but A a lot of love and patients will do the same on many of these dogs.

Your Trixie is Beautiful...................When I got my morkie I was looking at yorkipoos also. I love the both of them. I alway think the mixed breeds are just so cute and nice. Someone also told me they are healthier. I paid 600.00 for my morkie, and I would of paid 2000.00 for her. She is just so loving, and she house trained really quick. She has never once peed or pooped on my carpets .....And she is only 3.5 pounds. She is very smart !!!! And yes........always willing to please...... would definitely get another morkie or yorkipoo....

LOVE MY "MORKIE"

Blessings to all...

...but no one said anything about the yorkie-poo mix.

I have a yorkie-poo (see my avatar) and she is the love of my life. Abs no shedding what-so-ever and has the most amazing personality. She is only 3 mos as of now, but im looking for a groomer- I would 100% recommend the yorkie-poo, however the thing that really matters is the actual dog and the percentage from their breeding. I'm sure youll find pluses and minuses for any type of dog- try to go open-minded... its the personality (and specific traits youre looking for ie.doesn't shed) that you'll fall in love with.
Best of Luck and enjoy!

Your baby sounds exactly like mine! Honestly, to anyone considering getting a pet, I would go for the yorkie-poo. They are the cutest, smartest, most amazing pets ever.

I second this thought...its a matter of preferences...

joy and bella · 04-16-2007, 01:23 PM

good luck on your search!!!! i have a purebread yorkie whom i adore, but my mother used to have a poodle and he was an amazing dog, so i could imagine them being mixed would be awesome as well. either way, you will find the one you are supposed to have!! good luck!!

paulapoo · 04-19-2007, 03:11 PM

I have a shih-poo. He has more of a shih tzu coat and sheds quite a bit. My friend also has a shih-poo that has more of a poodle coat and he doesn't shed. It's hard to tell with the mixed breeds what gene's they will get. Good luck with your decision.

ozziepoo · 04-19-2007, 03:40 PM

I have a Yorkie-poo. He is the best. He has a great personality, never complains. He is so smart and easy to train. He is friendly and loves to cuddle( and does not shed) . I waited so long to get a dog and had so many expectations; he did not disappoint.

I would say yorkie poodle mixes are great
