Hi I was reading all the massages on here and I to have a Yorkie Poo. She is everything you guys have said! I love her so much and when I first went looking for a new pet I now that I wanted a Yorkie. I intended on getting a pure but the prices were just out rages and I just could not put myself to making that purchase. I could not believe that much for a dog. I was getting discouraged and my husband was looking online and found the bread Yorkie Poo's I thought that some of them were cute and I still thought that since they were mixed with Yorkie them they would cost a lot too. I found a add in the Newspaper for puppies at $250.00 I was like wow I can afford that price and I called the lady and she told me a little bit about them, so I went to see them and I feel in love. I almost ended up with a little boy because that was all they were showing me. I told them I really wanted a girl. They had one left but they wanted to keep her, but told me that I could take her anyway. I was so excites and I still am. Amber is just perfect and she loves us so much. I could not have been any happier with my pick.

Yorkie Poos are so Cute

IlovemyJax · 04-20-2007, 05:55 AM

I too thought about gettin a Yorkie poo or anyhting mixed with a Yorkie for that matter. Just look at all the options. The mix breeds are not always cheaper than the purebred. The thing that made my mind up to just go for the Yorkie is that when mixing 2 purebreds together, you can never be guaranteed the utcome of the look. Like the hair, you don't know if it will be long or short or shed or not and any other physical feature. At least when I bought a Yorkie, I had a general idea of the look of my dog. Then like I said why not go ahead a pay just a little bit more to get what you truly want! Godd luck in your decision madking. You can also go to dogster and put in Yorkie of the primary breed and what ever else you might want for the secondary breed and see what some JR-yorkies look like and some yorki-poos look like and that may help you too!

Go w/ a mix if you want a mix. Purebreds are no better than a mix. They are easy to house train, and very smart. And if you go w/ a yorki-poo or whatever mix you have two great dogs rolled into one. Some people say they are healthier, and less expensive too. I have a Morkie, and she is the best !!! Housetrained, only have to say something once and she does it. Stays w/ me in the yard and does not run away......AWESOME DOG !!!!!!!

Whatever is best for you ...............

yougetthesmiles · 04-20-2007, 06:10 AM

I would not by a mixed breed, The Yorkie is a wonderful little lap dog, non shedding and a wonderful personality!

Why do you want a mix with a yorkie?

She's adorable.

I have a 13 year old minerature poodle and a 10 year old yorkie. I love them both dearly, but if I ever got another dog, I would certainly go with a yorkiepoo. My poodle is more willing to lay down with me and sleep no matter how much sleep she has had during the day. She was much better at housetraining, too, where he is still a challenge. They both need attention paid to their teeth so in that regard, they are the same. He is much more demanding of attention but would let me dress him up in doll clothes if I wanted to and dance around the room, where she is more nervous. I can only think the combination of the two would be wonderful no matter which half was more dominant!

val · 04-20-2007, 08:18 AM

I have a yorkipoo, her name is nelly and I would not trade her for anything. I do not think you know what you are getting no matter what kind of dog you get because in my opinion they are all one of a kind and they gain their personality when they finally come and live with you.
Nelly is so funny just her look is priceless. She is spoiled rotten. Never kennel trained, has her own seat at the table, which is totally my husbands fault, because she has the man wrapped and I might add that he is not a dog lover at all. She just has this I am so feeble and innocent act yes ACT, under all of that innocence is a little evil personality. She sure adds to my day. She does not shed, and as for potty training, she is 1 1/2 and still has a few accidents but so do the purebreds and as you can see from my avatar she has alot of the yorkie look. I would definitely get another, and everyone has their own preference. I was gonna get a purebred as well but when a friend sent nelly's picture I was hooked.

ambula603 · 08-28-2007, 11:58 AM

I am so glad to hear so many positive things about the yorkie-poo! I am getting one in the middle of October (he/she was just born yesterday!) and I couldnt be more thrilled. I have heard wonderful things and I am happy with my choice.

For those of you who are wondering why anyone would want to mix a yorkie, its just to be different. Also, the yorkiepoo I am getting is much cheaper. Finally, I personally like the look of the yorkiepoos. I dont want a tiny one, as I dont want to hurt it!

I think yorkies are adorable and poodles are very smart so Im hoping to get the best of both worlds! And I know I will love the dog no matter what...and I think if you have that attitude you cant go wrong with any breed!

YorkieChiBabies · 08-28-2007, 04:29 PM

Hello. New here. I have 2 precious Yorkie Chi's and they are the best dogs. They are 9 months old.. brother and sister. They look like all black yorkies. My decision to buy one was because I like Yorkies and my oldest daughter likes chihuahuas. Imagine my surprise when I was able to locate a breeder who had a mixture of the 2 dog breeds. I bought the brother and turned around and went back after the sister. I have never regretted it. Don't be fooled by people who assume a mix breed is less, not always true. In my case alone, perhaps an exception, but I paid $1100 each for my precious dogs. You can locate a pure bred Yorkie all over the place, but you cannot locate a Yorkie-Chi everywhere you look. So with that being said, a mix breed is awesome for those wanting to mix two precious dogs. Also a Yorkie Chi (also called a Chorkie) is recognized by the AKC as a designer Hybrid dog... and my dogs are AKC registered. Yorkie Poo's are precious dogs as well.
I just wanted to add that to this. I have been looking at this website and reading the forums ever since I got my pups.

There is no breed called a chorkie in AKC you must have it registered in another registry like apri ? AKC only registers PUREBRED DOGS not designer mixes sorry either you were lied to or you are in a diff registry

YorkieChiBabies · 08-28-2007, 04:47 PM

Oh my goodness LOL... slow down, lie down, whatever. Geez. I am sorry that I said akc, I absolutely meant ACHC. I do not lie and it is a shame that you would suggest that I do. I am new to this YT and here I have been called a liar within the 5 mins I have joined. Wow. Here is the correct info so that you can sleep tonight!
American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes all hybrids produced from purebred ancestry, preferably registered with a recognized registration service. A hybrid dog is a mix between two or more purebred dogs (usually two).
Just like a purebred club, the purpose of the ACHC is to keep track of parentage and ancestry of these hybrid dogs. If you buy a ACHC registered dog, you will know exactly what breeds are in your dog.

This is obviously not the friendly place I thought it was.
