Peek a poo dicks12/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nail trims once or twice a month keep nails from growing too long and causing issues.Įar checks on a weekly basis with careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. The groomer may be able to help with some of this during appointments, but you will still need to do maintenance at home between appointments. In addition to coat care, you will also need to take care of your Peekapoo’s nails, ears, and teeth. If their coat is longer, you will need to brush them every day in addition to regular visits to the dog groomer. If you keep a Peekapoo in a short clip, they’ll need grooming every 4-6 weeks, brushing a few times a week, and the occasional bath. If they take more after their Pekingese parent, they will shed moderately year-round. Overall we Peek-A-Poos are wonderful, devoted and loving companions.Although a Peekapoo can inherit the non/low-shedding Poodle coat, it’s not a guarantee. In some cases we can inherit that overactive tear duct like our Poodle parent – not me tho….I’m perfect!!!! FYI – just go sleep in the big bed and nothing will bother you – that’s what I do! This can be a little irritating at 2 in the morning, but at least they make great watchdogs. Peek-A-Poos can be noisy and will alert bark whenever they see something or someone suspicious. A Peekapoo should never be exercised or left outside on unusually hot days. They should not be left unattended outside, however, since they can become prey for larger dogs and animals in the neighborhood.Ī Peekapoo should also live in a home with air-conditioning, since they can be susceptible to heat exhaustion. I am very protective of my family and will defend them with everything in the power of my 11.5 pounds.Ī Peekapoo can adapt to any type of dwelling, including apartments, but they do much better with a small fenced yard to access, since they enjoy being outdoors. I am rarely combative and I am happiest when I am with my hoomans – especially in the great outdoors. I totally delight in being part of every family activity. If I’m not in a lap I’m right next to my mommy or daddy. I am the ideal lapdog – and believe me – that is where I spend most of my time. I love cats….and other dogs…especially big dogs!!!! We are also a perfect family dog and we tend to be very friendly with children and get along with other pets. We do tend to be protective of our owners and we make the best lap dogs. We are extremely friendly, loyal and affectionate and totally dedicated to our families. Some of us actually believe that we are human. We have exceptionally great personalities. I weight about 11.5 pounds - the size will depend on whether you come from a Standard or Miniature or Toy Poodle. We are usually around 11 inches tall and will weigh between 9 and 20 pounds when fully grown. ![]() We are small, soft furry dogs with cute “bobbed hair” type ears and a long straight furry tail. Purists say that you can’t rely on the personality of a designer dog. The breed of a dog does count when it comes to the loyalty and nature of your canine companion. Just as formalities in life have given way to casual life style, the breed of a dog doesn’t really matter anymore if you love dogs and are looking for a loving pet. These are great combinations and are becoming more and more popular with the dog loving public who aren’t necessarily of the opinion that a dog must be pure and registered with the AKC. Take me – I don’t have an undercoat….I don’t shed at all – which makes it terrific for my mom who has terrible allergies! The reason for this is it generally gives the dog the advantage of being a very low shedding dog. It seems that the POODLE is the constant factor in the designer dog category. In most cases designer dogs bring owners the best of each breed. Schnoodles, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Puggles and more. The Peek-A-Poo gained popularity by the early 1960s, around the same time as the Cock-A-Poo.īut here lately there are all sorts of “designer dogs”. The goal was to produce a non- to low-shedding dog suitable for people with allergies. We were developed in the 1950s with the cross of a Pekingese with a Miniature or Toy Poodle. That’s right – the Peek-A-Poo is one of the oldest of the hybrid, or designer, breeds. And that’s fine with us because we are in fact very special…but we Peek-A-Poo’s have been around for over 50 years. These days we have been tagged “designer dogs”. The ideal Peek-A-Poo is first generation. We are a cross between a purebred Pekingese and a Poodle. Because the Peek-A-Poo is not a purebred dog some people think that we are mutts – but we’re not! We are PEEK-A-POOs….and we are terrific dogs to have. ![]()
