We're getting a Yorkiepoo! Both Yorkshire Terriers and Poodles are classed as hypoallergenic due to their low/non shedding coats, so having a pup that is a mix of the two breeds is great for me.
The blurb says:
The Ultimate Yorkiepoo Dog Manual will answer all the questions you may have when considering sharing your home with this cute and cuddly intelligent mixed breed.
Learn everything there is to know, including little known facts and secrets, and how to care for every aspect of the Yorkiepoo’s life.
This Manual contains all the information you need, from birth to the Rainbow Bridge, including transitioning through house breaking, care, feeding, training and end of life, so that you can make a well-informed decision about whether or not the Yorkiepoo is the breed for you.
This book really does cover everything you could want to know about the breed, and is worth reading before you've made the decision whether this breed is right for you. Each chapter is not too long, and goes through things to consider before you buy, how to choose the right do, how to feed and train your puppy, how to socialise your dog, finding the right vet, through to how to care for aging dogs.
This book is primarily aimed at the American market, but there are a few links and example prices for the UK too. I would say that probably only half the book is specific to yorkiepoos - the other half being sensible advice for any breed of dog. Whereas Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy focussed on training (and I will follow that book, rather than the short chapter in this one), this book covers all the other parts of looking after a pet and has given me confidence that I know more what to expect.
If you already own this breed, or are experience with other small breeds of dogs, this probably isn't the book for you. However, if you are a total newbie like me, it is worth giving it a read.
