I have been looking into getting a puppy for a while now and I have done quite a bit of research and one of the breeds of small dogs that I'm looking for that stood out was the Peek-A-Poo. My mind is still thinks a Mini Schnauzer is the best but the Peek-A-Poo is 2nd runner up. I have a friend that Godmother breeds them and she was telling me a lot about them (I would get from a shelter or rescue before I got one from a breeder) and I have become more interested. So my questions are:

If the mother is the mini poodle and the father is the Pekingese would it still be random if they where Brachycephalic (pushed in face) or would they have a longer snout? Can that also be the other way around? Because I really don't want a dog with a pushed in face because of the risk of many health problems down the rode.

How is the temperamentt?

What is the energy level like on a day to day?

What is the shedding like?

What is the average size?

And if you have this type of dog why would you recommend the breed?

I have done my research about the breed but I don't want to just hear from experts or breeders I want to hear from the owners :)
So thanks so much for reading and any info you give

I have a Peek-A-Poo and she is the sweetest dog ever! Her name is Sugar and she is tan/blonde :)



She has a smashed in face..(lol)... but she has no health problems! Very rare in Peek-A-Poos!

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest my Peek-A-Poo is 10 for being so sweet and pretty! lol! All peek-a-poos are gorgeous!



Energy Level (On a scale 1, being lazy to 10, very very hyper) - My peek-a-poo would probably be 6. Shes not so lazy like *dachshunds (have one of them too) She is layed back when I want her to be and when i play with her she is active!



Shedding - No shedding. Period. They have hair, not fur.



Average size- 9-14 pounds





I reccomend Peek-A-Poos because they're not mean unless you mistreat them of course.

Peek-a-poos are lovable BUT they're easily a mutt. They aren't a breed. Just consider that you're paying a small fortune for a puppy that's not anything extraordinary than a puppy you might get from a refuge. Peekapoos should not have particular features and they're all extraordinary - they appear extraordinary and act extraordinary. When you purchase a purebred puppy you're purchasing a minimum of a few safety in what it's going to appear like and what it is persona shall be like. When you buy a clothier mutt you're furthering again backyard breeding and taking a house clear of a real mutt who fairly demands a house. These are only a few matters to remember.

A Peke-a-poo is not a breed, it is a mix. Being a mix there is no way to predict what it will look like or be like. There is no way of predicting size. They can shed a lot or shed minimally (all dogs shed to some extent even Poodles). Energy level can be very high, they can be hyper. They can also be lazy..again no way to know.

I would not pay a "breeder" any money for a mix except what it cost for deworming, vet exam and first vaccine.Responsible breeders NEVER delibrately breed mixes.

Ok woah..i have to stop you there....it is impossible to get a mixed breed dog from a breeder. If you would get one form a "breeder" it would most likely be from a BYB. A peek-a-poo is not a breed. It is a mixed breed dog. And we can't actually answer your questions you have about them because with a MIXED breed dog, everything varies.
