A '''yorkipoo''' (also called a '''yorkiepoo''', '''yorkapoo''' or '''yoodle''') is a [[Dog crossbreed|hybrid dog]] originating in the [[United States]] by crossing a [[Yorkshire Terrier]] and a [[poodle]] (in most cases the [[miniature poodle]] or [[toy poodle]]). |
|||
==Description== |
|||
This dog may range in height from 6-9 inches and may weigh between 4 and 14 pounds.<ref name="Dogs By Design">{{cite book|last=Hochberg|first=Ilene|title=Dogs by Design: How to Find the Right Mixed Breed for You|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=woNoOD5xFO8C&pg=PA92&dq=Yorkipoo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ji_3UMLtLoWM0QH4-oDYDQ&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Yorkipoo&f=false|accessdate=16 January 2013}}</ref> These dogs may be bred from two [[purebred]] parents or two hybrid parents. They tend to have a smooth coat of silky and wavy hair, and can come in a variety of colors, including gold, blue, white, and [[Piebald|parti-color]]. Depending on which parent's genes are more dominant, the dog may be [[hypoallergenic]] and thus be more suited to homes with [[allergy]] sufferers.<ref name="Dogs By Design" /> |
|||
==Hypoallergenic== |
|||
It is known for being one of a few varieties of hypoallergenic dogs, although the usage of hypoallergenic is misleading. "No dog is non-allergenic", says Bruce Bochner, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Asthma & Allergy Center and professor of medicine at the [[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine|Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine]]. "I am aware of no hypoallergenic status that can be attributed to any dog, no matter what the breed,” says Ralph Richardson, DVM, of [[Kansas State University]]’s College of Veterinary Medicine. "Some breeds have more [[dander]] than others, but someone who is allergic to dogs is allergic to dogs,” says Linda Boyer, executive director of the [[Baltimore]]-based [[Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America]]. |
|||
==Health== |
|||
Yorkipoos can suffer from several [[Disease|diseases]], but are typically very healthy dogs.<ref name="Dog Time">{{cite web | url=http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/yorkipoo | title=Yorkipoo | publisher=Dog Time | accessdate=February 4, 2013}}</ref> They can suffer from [[hip dysplasia (canine)|hip dysplasia]] and [[elbow dysplasia]] as well as [[hypothyroidism]], [[von Willebrand's disease]], and [[thrombopathia]], and should be assessed for all of these conditions.<ref name="Dog Time" /> Other possible problems include [[epilepsy]], as well as [[patellar luxation]], [[portosystemic shunt]]s, [[Legg-Calve-Perthes disease]], [[hyperadrenocorticism]] and [[atopic dermatitis]].<ref name="Dog Time" /> |
|||
Like many small dogs, yorkipoos are prone to periodontal disease. Frequent dental care will protect their health and prolong their lifespan. Yorkipoos' luxurious, wavy hair is prone to matting, and therefore they should be brushed often—daily, if possible.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Yorkipoo Dog Breed Information|url = http://www.vetstreet.com/dogs/yorkipoo|website = Vetstreet|accessdate = 2015-12-10|language = en-US}}</ref> |
