They are active and always want to be in with the family, they are satisfied with a walk around the block and can releive energy inside. They are smart, because of poodle.

They can range from diffrent sizes, 10lb-25, depending on if they were breed with a miniture poodle or a toy.
Yorkiepoos require alot of grooming, that is why Frankiepoo has a page all about grooming a dog, They have an undercoat and a uppercoat. The undercoat can get easily knotted if not brushed daily. When we got Frankie, he was knotted alot, we worked days grooming him by hand with a clipper to unknott everything.
