Description
Origin:
The Pekeapoo is a designer breed created by crossing a Pekingese with a Poodle. Originally developed to combine the affectionate personality of the Pekingese with the intelligence and low-shedding qualities of the Poodle, Pekeapoos became popular as loving companion dogs and family pets.
Size:
Height: 6–11 inches
Weight: 7–20 pounds
Appearance:
Pekeapoos are small, adorable dogs with soft, fluffy coats that may be curly, wavy, or straight depending on their genetics. They often have round expressive eyes, floppy ears, and a compact body. Coat colors can vary widely and may include cream, white, black, brown, apricot, or mixed color patterns.
Temperament:
- Affectionate and loyal
- Playful and intelligent
- Friendly with a touch of independence
Pekeapoos are known for being loving companion dogs that enjoy spending time with their families. They are playful and social but can also inherit a slightly independent side from the Pekingese parent. Their sweet personality makes them excellent lap dogs and family companions.
Exercise Needs:
This breed has moderate exercise needs and enjoys short walks, indoor games, and playtime with family members. While they are not extremely energetic, regular activity helps keep them healthy and mentally stimulated.
Grooming:
Their coat requires regular brushing several times a week to prevent matting and tangles. Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks is often recommended. Routine eye cleaning, ear care, and dental hygiene are also important parts of their grooming routine.
Health:
Common health concerns may include breathing issues, dental problems, eye conditions, patellar luxation, and allergies. Because some Pekeapoos may inherit a shorter snout, avoiding excessive heat and maintaining regular veterinary care is important.
Good With Kids & Other Pets?
Yes! Pekeapoos are generally affectionate with children and can get along well with other pets when socialized early. Their loving and adaptable personality makes them a wonderful choice for families, singles, and seniors looking for a devoted companion.
