Yorkiepoos, being the results of a union between Yorkshire Terriers and Poodles, are blessed with a very aesthetically appealing appearance. They are also very good pets to have, with their ancestors already having a reputation for being great household pets.

Yorkiepoos have generally inherited many of its ancestors' positive temperament traits along with its healthy genetics. Below are some of the few temperament traits that your Yorkiepoo may have inherited.

Highly social

Yorkiepoos are highly social animals. They enjoy most company, from their masters to other household pets. They crave for company with their familiar associates so much that they can be left depressed if deprived of social interaction for too long. Signs that may indicate that your Yorkiepoo is being neglected socially includes incessant barking and destructive behaviour. As such, if you are intending to get a Yorkiepoo, you should make sure that you have the time and energy to keep it company sufficiently.

Alert

Drawing from its Yorkshire Terrier parentage, Yorkiepoos are very alert of suspicious noises and characters. Their brave nature and environmental awareness makes them great watchdogs. Therefore, you should take into consideration your own noise tolerance level before getting a Yorkiepoo - their watchdog capabilities makes them somewhat prone to barking.

Intelligent

Being part Poodle, Yorkiepoos are highly intelligent, making them highly trainable. However, being also part Yorkshire, it may also be a little stubborn. Thus, expect housebreaking to be somewhere in between a Poodle (fairly easy) and a Yorkshire (not as easy) in terms of difficulty level.

Having a fairly good genetic and temperament pool to draw from, Yorkiepoos are often very good pets to have. Even so, you should be aware of possibility of Yorkiepoos inheriting some fairly troublesome temperaments from its parents. If such a situation happens, remember that patience goes a long way in molding it into a great companion.
