The problem is that Pekepoo is not a breed and only "backyard" or disreputable will breed them. There is nothing wrong with a mixed breed (my lovely first dog was one) but Pekepoo's will likely be sold at pure bred prices and not much thought will have gone into the breeding of them as the breeders only want a fast buck. The result can be a genetically unhealthy and bad tempered dog. Also, the breeder of "Pekepoo's" will not be able to supply you with a written health garantee as he or she will not have the health records from the puppies parents as the registered breeders do. Of course not all pekepoo breeders are "evil" but if I were the one buying...I would not take a chance with this kind of breeder. Save yourself the heartache.
