Temperament:
The Yorkiepoo is not recommended for homes with small children. They are loyal, loving, affectionate, feisty, and clever. They do well with dogs and non-canine pets they have been raised with. Yorkiepoo's are very family oriented and do not do well if ignored or left alone for extended periods of time. Boredom or loneliness will lead to destructive behavior and incessant barking. They are suspicious of strangers and will alert their family to visitors and out of the ordinary sounds.

The Yorkiepoo is well suited for apartment living provided they are sufficiently exercised and mentally stimulated. They are relatively active indoors and should have a variety of safe toys to keep them occupied. Yorkiepoo's enjoy family play sessions, securely leashed walks, and off-lead play in a fenced yard.
