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”.
