Peke-A-Poos

Dixie & Winnie are Peke-A-Poos!

The Peke-a-Poo is a cross between the Pekingese and a Miniature Poodle. The Poodle is slightly larger - at 15" and 18 lbs - than the Pekingese - at less than 9" tall and 14 pounds - and it's hoped that the puppies will be small.

Both of these dogs need regular weekly - if not twice weekly - brushing and grooming to avoid mats. The Poodle is usually more active than the Pekingese, so the Peke-a-Poo, it's hoped, will acquire some increased activity from the Poodle side of its line; and, be more able to play with children. The Peke-a-Poo's nose is longer than the Pekingese, which should make it easier for it to breath and withstand extremely warm temperatures.

Dixie & Winnie should be playful, active little house companions.

We are pleased to welcome Dixie & Winnie to our practice!
