Pekingese + Toy/Miniature Poodle Mix · Small (4-20 lbs)
Peekapoos are one of the original designer breeds, first bred in the 1950s. Their coats range from soft and wavy (more Pekingese influence) to curly (more Poodle influence). The flat Pekingese face can be inherited, requiring special attention to facial folds and eye care. Brush 2-3 times per week to prevent matting. The Pekingese long, flowing coat gene combined with Poodle curls creates a coat that can become dramatically matted if neglected. Despite their small size, grooming appointments may take longer than expected due to coat density around the face and chest. These dogs can be independent and stubborn during grooming — patience and positive reinforcement help.
