With a moderate energy level, the Peekapoo enjoys playtime but is also content to cuddle up on the couch. This adaptable breed is well-suited for apartment living, as they don’t require a massive yard to roam. Regular exercise through walks and interactive play will keep your Peekapoo happy and healthy, and the breed’s manageable grooming needs, weekly brushing, ensure you can easily keep their lovely coat looking its best.

Living with a Peekapoo
History
Known as one of the oldest cross-bred dogs in the world, the history of the Peekapoo dates back to the 1950s and 1960s in the United States of America when a Poodle (the French/German Water Dog) was crossed with a full blood Pekingese (the China Royal breed). This crossing came as a result of the need to create a breed of low-shedding dogs that can be owned by people with allergies and asthma.
Temperament
Talking about the breed that is devoted and faithful to its owners, the Peekapoo ranks number one on the list. This breed is a very protective dog that senses danger swiftly, and when it does; it quickly alerts the entire household through its loud and insistent barking.
And asides from backing to create awareness, the Peekapoo can fight for its owner with every strength in its petite body. The Peekapoo is a blessing to its owners, as its presence in a home adds warmth, comfort, and light to the home.
On days when you need comfort and companionship, the Peekapoo is there on your lap all the way. Overall, this breed is an affectionate, energetic, intelligent, protective, vigilant, loyal, devoted, gentle and fearless breed. On the other side, the Peekapoo has the tendency to be overly sensitive, aloof and can snap when it is extremely stressed by humans, especially humans it is not familiar with.
Environment
As a result of its petite stature, you can have a Peekapoo in any type of residence, either big or small. Regardless of this, it is prone to heat and it is advisable to have your Peekapoo in a well-conditioned/well-ventilated place, most especially during warm/hot weather.
Exercise
This breed requires constant and consistent exercise, and as a result of this, it is expedient that you engage your Peekapoo in exercises such as walking for a specified time frame daily. The number of minutes you walk your Peekapoo is dependent on its age and size.
As a puppy, you walk it for 5 minutes, and as it grows, you extend the walking duration. Also, you need to train your breed in some basic mental and hygiene training, one of which is training it not to poop in the house.
Grooming
The coat of the Peekapoo is a long, soft and wavy one and it comes in different colors namely; black, cream, red, apricot, grey, white and chocolate. This coat requires that it is trimmed regularly as a result of its non-shedding nature.
And for those who would love to keep the coat long, you need to brush and comb the coat regularly to avoid matting and knots. Also, you should clean your breed’s eyes with a wet and warm towel regularly, and don’t forget to get its nails trimmed and its teeth brushed frequently. Your breed needs to bathe at least once a month
