Dog Breed Name: Yorkinese, Yorkineses, Yorkshire Terrier & Pekingese hybrid

Description: The Yorkinese is a designer dog breed that comes from crossing the Pekingese and Yorkshire Terrier breeds together.

Temperament: As with any designer breed you must take into consideration the parents personalities as well as the socialization of the puppy or dog in question. As a general rule the Yorkinese are good with children and tend to get along well with other dogs.

Height, Weight: The height and weight of the Yorkinese dog will depend on the size of the parents as well as the current size of the Yorkinese puppy.

Health Problems: Designer or Hybrid dogs tend to have less health problems than many of the full blood breeds but again the parents genetics will play a big part in the health and longevity of the Yorkinese dog. Of course the usual health problems related to the Pekinese and Yorkshire Terrier can show up in the Yorkinese.

Living Condition: In general you can expect a Yorkinese dog to do well in just about any size apartment or home.

Grooming: Yorkinese tend to have a medium length coat which can be groomed as you wish.
The puppy cut is an option or you can let it grow. Letting the coat grow would require brushing at least every other day or more.
