Utica Pet Supply: THE PEKEAPOO
Nov 11th
THE
PEKEAPOO
Utica Pet Supply LLC
John Goeth
In the Toy Group of Designer Dogs available today, The Pekeapoo is one of the more popular.
The name of this more popular Designer Dog tells us what the parents are, a Pekingese bred to a Toy Poodle.
Since Roxanne and I opened the store in 1999, the Pekeapoo has grown slowly in popularity but since 2008 has become one of our “Top 10” Designer Dogs.
The Pekeapoo is the 9th best selling Designer Dog at our store, Utica Pet Supply LLC www.uticapet.com.
As with most Designer Dogs that originate from Poodle cross breeding most people consider the Pekeapoo to be a hypoallergenic dog.
While Pekingese have their own set of traits, breeding them to the Toy Poodle truly gives us a lot of positive traits in the offspring, the Pekeapoo.
The Pekingese weighs 14 pounds or less with a height of 6-9”, and the Toy Poodle weighs 4-8 pounds with a height of 10” or less, so the Pekeapoo will be a small Toy Designer Dog. You should expect a true Pekeapoo to weigh approximately 9-11 pounds with a height of 6-10”. As with all Designer Dogs weights and heights can vary a little from the expected.
We like to offer the Pekeapoo to families with children because they are moderately energetic, they are playful, and affectionate. The Pekeapoo is known for being very friendly toward other pets and moderately friendly toward strangers. They have a low requirement for exercise so a play session daily will be adequate.
As with many Designer Dogs the Pekeapoo will inherently have good genetic health due to cross breeding and you can expect a life span of 12-15 years.
Combining all the great qualities this Designer Dog has to offer, we highly recommend the Pekeapoo to everyone as a very desirable companion animal.
At the store we feed the puppies a dry kibble made by Diamond Pet Food, Inc. This premium dry kibble is called Professional Puppy Chicken & Barley Formula. This food has the benefits of Professional’s Complete Health Care System.
Fun Fact: Purina Puppy Chow and Purina Dog Chow are two of the most popular and recognized brand names of pet foods today.
Fun Fact: In addition to being the smallest dog ranging from 1-6 pounds, the Chihuahua is one of the shortest ranging from 6-9”.

POM-A-POO
AKA Mixed Dog, Designer Dog, Hybrid Dog, & Cross Breed

Another popular dog in the family of Toy Designer Dogs is the Pom-A-Poo. The name of this popular Designer Dog tells us what the parents are, a Pomeranian bred to a Toy Poodle.
We initially offered this Designer Dog at our store in 1999, and it sells a little better than the Pomeranian, most likely because the Pom-A-Poo has a non-shedding coat.
The Pom-A-Poo is the 8th best selling Designer Dog at our store Utica Pet Supply LLC www.uticapet.com.
The Pom-A-Poo is the best selling Designer Dog at our store in the Pomeranian group.
The Toy Poodle is popular for having a non-shedding coat that most refer to as hypoallergenic, so breeding it to the Pomeranian produces a non-shedding coat. Most refer to the Pom-A-Poo as a dog that has a hypoallergenic coat.
The Pom-A-Poo has a lot of desirable traits that make it a very good dog to own.
The Pomeranian is under 7 pounds with a height of 8-11”, while the Toy Poodle is 4-8 pounds with a height less than 10”. You should expect a true Pom-A-Poo to weigh 5.5-7.5 pounds with a height of up to 11”. Occasionally, a Pom-A-Poo will weigh more than 7.5 pounds.
We like to offer Pom-A-Poo puppies to families with children because they are energetic; they are very playful, and generally affectionate. The Pom-A-Poo is generally a friendly dog toward other pets and will tolerate strangers. They have a very moderate exercise requirement, so a play session daily will be adequate.
As with many Designer Dogs the Pom-A-Poo will inherently have good genetic health due to cross breeding and you can expect a life span of 12-16 years.
Combining all the great qualities this Designer Dog has to offer, we highly recommend the Pom-A-Poo to everyone as a very desirable companion animal.
