Peekapoo Dog Breed Q&A
Getting 4 year old daughter dog for christmas which breed would be best?
we have been wanting a dog for a while now when my daughter was asked what she wanted for christmas a dog was her only request.. we live in a townhouse so we need something small when I checked the local paper for what was available for christmas the following breeds were peekapoo, shih-poo, poodle, shih tzu maltese mix, puggle, and chi-poo which of these breeds do you think would be best for a 4 year old girl.. I've always had bigger dogs so I have no experience with the smaller breeds and any information would be so helpful thanks
well as far as the so called, shih-poo, puggle, and chi-poo's those honest to god, are just overpriced mutts.
i LOVE mutts, i have 2 myself...in fact i have a chihuahua/ dachshund mix..that some ppl are calling a chi-hund or chiweenie (ugh). ridiculously they are sold for hundreds of dollars....i found my angel at the SHELTER...she was a throw away from a previous "home", and was already spayed, her total adoption cost to me was $4.00, the discount cost of her shots. since she was already spayed, i wasn't charged for that.
what did i get for my 4 bucks. the sweetest, most gentle little dog in the world. anyone that comes to my house...they all love my dogs..(i have 4, all shelter dogs) but out of all 4 it's my little Peggy Sue that they want to take home...my so called "Chi-hund".
she's a mutt, not a breed....the dogs you mentioned are mutts too. therefore they will have characteristics of both and/or several breeds that are mixed in to that one dog.
you really need to know ALL the characteristics of ALL these breeds to know which would be best for you.
honestly i would encourage you to adopt from a shelter; 25% of shelter dogs are pure bred dogs....i work at the SPCA..we get TONS of small and large pure bred dogs...it's crazy! but if you are set on one of these dogs...here is some breed information on ALL the breed types..AND some common behavior w/the mixing of these breeds.

most IMPORTANTLY is to teach your daugther how to respect an animlas space. no matter how great the dog is...when a kid starts to pull or pinch (because they don't understand that it hurts) the dog will do one of two things...yelp and run, or growl and bite. it's flight or fight. that is instinct, NOT aggression.
never let the dog and your daughter play unsupervised. and there are a lot of ppl saying wait until your daugther is older, that's great advise. BUT i have a 10 yr old, and an 8 yr old, and just had an unexpected ( but welcomed) baby 9months ago. i have 4 dogs. the dogs were prepared for the babies arrival w/sounds of crying and smells of her things...likewise i will SLOWLY introduce my daughter to the dogs...my dogs will be taught that she is a pack memeber and that she out ranks them. and my daughter will be taught to respect an animals space, how to treat the dogs, and will NEVER be unsupervised w/my dogs...as my older children are supervised to this day.
if you want to wait till she is older, great. but if not....at least be prepared for the WORK that is ahead of you.

Peekapoo Dog Breed Q&A
How do I stop my dog being so Hyper??
The breed of dog that I have called peekapoo (a cross between a poodle and Pekingese). A first I thought it was because he was kept in a cage much to prevent it goes in the house, so that only very excited when he was released. However, I realize that even when left outside for a whole day still hyper when see someone. I just want to be more relaxed. I love him, but it gets very annoying. No, he is not neutralized. I do not like this idea and I really do not see the point from which the only dog. I would say is about a year and two or three months.We keep him in his cage so he can see a pattern in the times when let out to go to the bathroom, so hopefully they will learn to control it until the time w / or kept in its cage. When taken off to relieve himself, then gave a good deal time to run and play. * And thanks dmg1969 explainig of "mixed race" Lo *
He needs training and lots of exercise and socialization. How old are you? Elf is the most you need to meet a lot more people. Excitiable I know it is right now, but it's probably a combination their age and maturity level. The more people gather, the most jaded will meet new people. Take it to where willl meet lots of strangers friendly and have them treat you when you feel for them. Having friends and family to your home and ignore if he is jumping on them --- but give treats and attention if he sits. Do this with ALL types of people --- especially if your dog is less than 1 year old .. After a while your dog may be excited, but he has learned to sit when the new greeting people and this will be a help: if you really want to stop a behavior, it is easier to substitute another behavior. In other words, need to teach him what you want to do when greeting strangers instead of trying to stop what you are doing makes sense --- - Do not punish him for being happy to see people esp. if a puppy --- and not keep away from people. The more people the better.
