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]]. |
