General care for the chipoo

Chihuahua poodle mix is not a purebred dog and like most designer dogs, it is generally referred to by the portmanteau name of Chipoo. Other less popular names of the Chihuahua poodle mix are Choodle and Wapoo.

The areas that will require the most attention in the up bring of Chipoo are training, feeding and grooming. To get the best out of the Chipoo, early training has to be provided and because this is an intelligent dog you should not have much difficulty in training a Chipoo except that it may manifest traces of stubbornness which is traceable to the Chihuahua parent breed.

The other areas that will require special attention is the grooming and the diet. Chipoo require regular grooming because it often has the curly coat of the poodle which can be a bit demanding to groom even though it is a low shedder.

When it comes to feeding the Chipoo should be fed on high quality and nutritious diet that is ideal for a toy dog and make sure that you do not over feed the Chipoo because its parent breeds both have a tendency to become over weight.
