Here's a random sampling. So cute!Information about Peekapoos
History:Combining the best qualities of the Pekingese and the Toy Poodle or Miniature Poodle, the Peekapoo originated along with a host of other "hybrid" dogs that became popular for being hypoallergenic and (supposedly) healthier than many purebred canines. Some breeders believe the Peekapoo's happy outlook and sturdiness come from "hybrid vigor," which is when a healthier dog results from mating two purebreds. The Look of the Peekapoo:If you're familiar with the Pekingese and the Poodle, you can probably identify the Peekapoo, which is a nice blend of these two unique breeds. Not every Peekapoo looks alike—it all depends on the genes of the purebred parents—but they often have the Poodle's low-shedding, single coat and the Pekingese's aristocratic posture. Some have the short-muzzled, large-eyed facial features of the Pekingese. And every tingle one of them is adorable. What They're Like to Live With:Combining the Pekingese's aristocratic dignity and the Poodle's agility and intelligence, the Peekapoo can easily bridge the gap between the outdoor and indoor canine. The Peekapoo has a winning personality that makes itself known all around the home. It's playful and energetic while also being accommodating to the couch potato. Pleasantly self-assured, the Peekapoo makes a well-mannered watchdog and an endearing companion. Things You Should Know:The Peekapoo is moderately active and agile. It loves daily walks and outdoor play. Without enough attention and activity, it can get bored, agitated, restless and (sometimes) destructive. So, try not to leave this little cutie alone for too long. Grooming the Peekapoo is easy: Just brush its medium-length coat several times per week and bathe when necessary. Some Peekapoo owners may choose to have their dogs clipped by a professional.
The Peekapoo can live as long as 15 years with relatively few genetic health issues. Still, it's a good idea to regularly inspect the Peekapoo's ears, feet and eyes for signs of infection, and schedule regular health visits based on a veterinarian's advice.
