#9 Maltipoo (Maltese + Miniature Poodle)
This is the #9 hybrid/designer dog. It’s no wonder the Maltipoo is such a popular designer breed. This adorably tiny hybrid dog keeps their sweet puppy look into adulthood. They tend to bark a lot, but if you work to curb this behavior immediately, it shouldn’t be a major issue. Make sure to get your Maltipoo from a reputable breeder to ensure he isn’t at risk for certain health issues or prone to undesirable behaviors.
#10 Chorkie (Chihuahua + Yorkshire Terrier)
This is the #10 hybrid/designer dog. Another tiny crossbreed, the chorkie typically clocks in at a whopping eight to ten pounds, making them more suitable for families with older children who will handle them gently. Usually, chorkies have long silky hair that doesn’t shed terribly but does need to be brushed regularly. Like their parent breeds, chorkies are intelligent and trainable, but they can also be spirited and stubborn. They’re a bundle of energy, too—so be prepared for regular playtime
#7 Yorkipoo (Yorkshire Terrier + Poodle)
This is the #7 hybrid/designer dog. Hardly tipping the scale at 4-14 pounds, the yorkipoo is an energetic and playful crossbreed. These dogs like to be around people, but they’re not particularly cuddly. They can also be “barky.” They’re an intelligent hybrid, but they usually respond better to positive reinforcement.
#4 Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel + Poodle)
This is the #4 hybrid/designer dog. This scruffy-coated designer dog is a cross between two intelligent and loveable dog breeds—the cocker spaniel and the poodle. Their look can vary widely, with a weight range of 6 to 30 pounds, and a coat that can have a kaleidoscope of colors and markings and sometimes appears curly. The cockapoo is people-oriented, friendly, and charming. They also need to exercise frequently.
