Peekapoo Dogs
Are Peekapoo Dogs the Most Girly of All Dog Breeds?
If there were a prize for the most feminine of all dogs, peekapoo dogs would take the proverbial prize. Some people might put up the Bichon-Frise with all their frilly charms; while others may claim it is the traditional poodle. These dogs can’t hold a lacy pink leash to the Peekapoo, though.
First of all, the Peekapoo is what’s known as a “designer dog”—a dog that is a carefully engineered mix of two other breeds. That’s the first sign that we are firmly in the land of women—where else do we run into the word “designer” if not in the highly feminized fashion world.
And if you look at the dogs that are in this category—Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Puggles, Schnoodles --they are all what we might call “girly dogs”. (With names like “Labradoodles” and “Schnoodles” I’m not sure whether to pet them or serve them at my next Super Bowl party with a bowl of guacamole.) These are the kind of dogs that are more likely to poke their heads out of one of Paris Hilton’s purses than into a toilet bowl for a drink. They are more likely to be saved from a run in with a cat than to have to be pulled away from such an encounter to save their feline opponent.
Now peekapoo dogs are a mix between the Poodle and the Pekingese. What those evil scientists at designer dog headquarters have done is taken the Pepe Le Pew and the Farrah Fawcett of dogs and mixed them together. So what do you get? You get a cutie-patootie of a dog. Oh yes you do. Yes you doopy—a dog that makes girls lapse into the most noxious of baby talk—a dog so small and cute that it fits into the comfiest of designer purses--a dog so trendy that you might wonder if the purse is his accessory or if he came in a matching palette with the Prada.
And what else do you get? You get a dog that is even less aggressive than his purebred parents are. So, in other words, you take two dogs that barely have standing as dogs—the Pekingese is little more than a well groomed mop head—and then you breed what little sense of dog-ness they have right out of them. This is a dog with no heart really. Not that its little tiny squeak of a bark can really count for much. But to then go and even take away what little menace it has?
One sign that this whole process is unnatural is that you can’t breed peekapoo dogs with other Peekapoos. They just degenerate into ugly little mutts. You have to always go back and breed two more Pekingese and Poodles. The peekapoo strain is so weak that it can’t even sustain itself. It’s like the mule of the dog world.
No doubt, some of you will point out that one of the most famous owners and advocates for peekapoo dogs as great family pets is Sylvester Stallone, Rocky himself. My response to this is simple: Did you see the last Rocky movie? The man has obviously lost his marbles and is living in a fantasy world. Who wants to see a senior citizen box or find romance? Ick!
It makes you wonder, though, if when little Peekapoos dream, do they dream of having real doggy lives. Does that ancient doggy instinct come back and they fantasize about chasing cats and squirrels and digging through the garbage for some smelly morsel? Do they just want to scratch themselves and sniff at places that make humans blush with shame? Or do they really just want to curl up in a Prada and watch their human mistress get her nails done and go shopping all day?
