Papipoo Dog Breed Information:
The Papipoo is a mixed breed dog a cross between the Papillon and Poodle dog breeds. Loving, intelligent, and active, this devoted, little dog wants to be part of all family activities. Papipoos are also known as Papoodles, Papi Doodles, Papidoodles, and Papi Poos.

More About This Dog Breed:
Papipoo colors include white, black, cream, red, sable, apricot, and gray. They can sometimes have white patches mixed in among these other colors. Your Papipoo will need at least one hour of exercise per day, though most of this will be self-induced by running, jumping, and playing around the house. At least one walk with you per day, even if it's just around the neighborhood, will be good for them. Papipoos are mixed breed dogs. They are not purebreds like their Papillon or Poodle parents.
Papipoo History:
The exact history of the Papipoo is a mystery, but it's clear they were part of the worldwide popular trend starting in the 1980s to create Poodle mixes--an effort to emphasize the intelligent, affectionate traits of the Poodle, as well as their hypoallergenic curly fur. This particular mix likely started in the US.
Papipoo Size:
Papipoos belong to the smallest size category of dogs “toy" (smaller than small). Athough, as a mixed breed, there are few standards when it comes to size. They typically weigh anywhere from 6 to 14 pounds and are around 11 inches in height, or possibly a little shorter.
Papipoo Personality:
Papipoos are fabulous family dogs, given their loving, loyal, playful personalities. They will want to be with you as much as possible and don't do well when left alone for very long periods of time. They can be a bit sensitive, so take care with your tone when speaking to them because they will take it to heart--and physical punishment is never a good idea with any dog.

Papipoo Health:
Papipoos are moderately healthy dogs. They have the advantage of being a mixed breed, where nature's tendency is to eliminate bad genetic conditions as much as possible. Some of the more common conditions Papipoos can face include:
Epilepsy.
Von Willebrand's Disease.
Hypothyroidism.
Addison's Disease.
Legg-Calve Perthes Disease.
Collapsed Trachea.
Patellar Luxation.
Hypoglycemia.
Eye Problems.
Papipoo Care:
As with all dogs, you should keep up with your Papipoo's regular veterinary checkups to detect any health concerns early. Your Papipoo will need at least one hour of exercise per day, though most of this will be self-induced by running, jumping, and playing around the house. Brushing their teeth a few times a week, or ideally every day, will ensure optimal dental health. It's a good idea to check their eyes and ears for any debris or irritation at least once a week.
Papipoo Feeding:
An ideal Papipoo diet should be formulated for a small breed with high energy. The Papipoo has a slightly above average tendency to become overweight, so be careful to give them a regimented amount of food every day and not overdo it on giving treats.
Papipoo Coat Color And Grooming:
Papipoo colors include white, black, cream, red, sable, apricot, and gray. They can sometimes have white patches mixed in among these other colors. Their small noses are black, but their eyes can be either brown or amber. Bathing should be done as needed when they get quite dirty, but not overly frequently, as it could dry out their skin. Their hair should be trimmed every few months, either by you or a groomer. Your Papipoo's tolerance to hot and cold weather is going to depend on which parent's coat they inherit.
Papipoo with Children And Other Pets:
Papipoos are very social dogs and are great with children and other animals. Because Papipoos are toy-sized dogs, it's especially important that children and other pets learn how to be gentle and cautious around them, as small dogs can more easily be hurt.
