The Yorkiepoo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

There are a few different ways breeders are producing Yorkipoos. Ask the breeder you contact which type of hybrid they breed.

F1 = 50% Yorkshire Terrier and 50% Poodle - This is Yorkie to Poodle cross, this is first generation, resulting in healthier offspring. Hair type can be long like a Yorkie, or wavy like the Poodle, pups in the same litter can vary.

F1-B = 25% Poodle and 75% Yorkshire Terrier (F1 Yorkipoo and Yorkie cross) - This is Yorkipoo bred back to Yorkie, Coat turns out more like the Yorkie. This F1-B hybrid type has been given the name Yo-Yopoo.

F1-B = 25% Yorkshire Terrier and 75% Poodle (F1 Yorkipoo and Poodle cross) - This is Yorkipoo bred back to Poodle, Wavy Curly shaggy look doodle very consistent in coat types.

F2 = F1 Yorkipoo and F1 Yorkipoo cross - this combination you get the same percentage of Yorkshire Terrier mix as you would an F1 Yorkipoo.
F3 = F2 Yorkipoo and F2 Yorkipoo cross

Multi-generation = F3 or higher generation Yorkipoo and F3 or higher generation Yorkipoo cross
