A Pekeapoo (or, sometimes, Peekapoo) is a
crossbred
dog created by
breeding a Poodle
with a
Pekingese. In addition to being a combination of the two breed names, the
name is probably a pun
on Peekaboo
(a game for amusing a small child, in which one covers one's face or hides and
then returns to view saying “Peekaboo!”)
They are small for dogs, weighing from 9 to 20 pounds.
Due to the nature of their breeding, Pekeapoos have few defining
characteristics. They are not recognized by any
breed registry.
