LHAS-A-POOS
AKA Mixed Dog, Designer Dog, Hybrid Dog, & Cross Breed

Lhas-A-Poos has been a very popular puppy at our store since we opened in 1999. Lhas-A-Poos have a very cute face and a non-shedding coat that comes in a wide variety of colors. The popularity of this Designer Dog is very good and Lhas-A-Poos are the Number Six selling Designer Dog at Utica Pet Supply LLC www.uticapet.com.
As you would guess the Lhas-A-Poos are the Designer Dog bred from a Pure Breed Lhasa Apso and a Pure Breed Toy Poodle. Some breeders today will use a variety of sizes with regards to the Poodle.
Lhas-A-Poos are a good family pet and offer a lot of qualities that buyers are looking for. Lhas-A-Poos are a popular Designer Dog for their non-shedding coat and wide variety of available colors.
As with most Designer Dogs that originate from Poodle cross breeding most people consider Lhas-A-Poos to be a hypoallergenic dog.
When considering the parents size of Lhas-A-Poos the Lhasa Apso will normally be less than 15 pounds, 13-15 pounds is the norm, and the Toy Poodle will normally be less than 8 pounds, 4-8 pounds is the norm. The resulting size for Lhas-A-Poos will normally be less than 12 pounds, so Lhas-A-Poos are a Toy Designer Dog with an adult weight range of 8-12 pounds.
Playing with Lhas-A-Poos when you visit us at the store is a lot of fun, you’ll find that this is an energetic puppy that likes to play and is very affectionate. So, Roxanne and I like Lhas-A-Poos for families with children.
As far as training goes, the Toy Poodle is one of the smartest Toy Breed Dogs there is and breeding it to the Lhasa Apso to produce Lhas-A-Poos makes Lhas-A-Poos a very smart Designer Dog that is very easy to train.
Another benefit you enjoy with the majority of Designer Dogs is great genetic health. So on average you should experience very good longevity and fewer vet bills.
Both the Lhasa Apso and the Toy Poodle have a life span of 12-14 years, so on average you should expect similar with Lhas-A-Poos.
While a lot of family’s visit our store looking to purchase a Toy Pure Breed Puppy often we suggest Lhas-A-Poos because it is a better fit for families with children. The size and temperament of Lhas-A-Poos is more embracing of the activity levels that kids offer. Lhas-A-Poos have an expected adult weight of up to 12 pounds makes this Designer Dog a great family pet when there are two or more children.
Overall, Roxanne and I give big thumbs up in suggesting to you Lhas-A-Poos!
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”.

Utica Pet Supply: THE YORKIE POO

THE YORKIE POO
AKA Mixed Dog, Designer Dog, Hybrid Dog, & Cross Breed
Utica Pet Supply LLC
John Goeth
Among the Toy Group of Designer Dogs available today, Yorki-Poos are one of the most popular. The name of this popular Designer Dog tells us what the parents are, a Yorkie bred to a Toy Poodle.
Since Roxanne and I opened the store in 1999, Yorki-Poos have grown in popularity more and more over time.
Yorki-Poos are the 3rd 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 Yorki-Poos a hypoallergenic dog.
While Yorkshire Terriers have their own uniqueness breeding them to the Toy Poodle truly gives us a lot of positive traits in the offspring, the Yorkie Poo.
The Yorkie weighs 7 pounds or less, and the Toy Poodle weighs 4-8 pounds, so Yorki-Poos will be a small Toy Designer Dog. You should expect true Yorki-Poos to weigh 5.5-7.5 pounds with a height of 8-10”.
We like to offer Yorki-Poos to families with children because they are very energetic, they are very playful, and affectionate. Yorki-Poos in general are friendly toward other pets and strangers. They have a low requirement for exercise so a play session daily will be adequate.
As with many Designer Dogs Yorki-Poos 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 Yorki-Poos to everyone as an outstanding companion animal.
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”.
