Nana-chan

Behold! What you are gazing upon is a fine canine specimen known as a “Yorkie-poo”. A Yorkie-poo is half Yorkshire Terrier and half Poodle; in this case half Toy Poodle. The parents of this puppy weighed in at an average of 4.5 pounds each, and their offspring currently weighs 2 pounds at four months old. Her name is Nana, and she is a new member of our family; Thanks Old Saint Nic!

Let’s see what cards this pooch is bringing to the table.

Yorkshire Terriers are a small breed of Terriers that came from Yorkshire, England. Yorkies are bold, active, non-shedding dogs that are are extremely affectionate in their first 2 to 3 years of existence, and so they love to cuddle.

Poodles are natural retrievers that are renowned for water working, or rather working in water, and the name Poodle is an English word that means to “splash in water”. Unlike most dogs who have two coats of hair, the Poodle has one thick curly layer of hair that is minimally shed. Poodles are apparently the second smartest breed, next to Border Collies, which makes them easy to train, easy to socialize with other beings, and they are eager to please their parental units.
