Siberian Husky versus Yorkipoo: Overview
A very important difference between the Siberian Husky and the Yorkipoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized dog while the Yorkipoo is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Siberian Husky belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
On the other hand, the Yorkipoo belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.
Siberian Husky versus Yorkipoo: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Siberian Husky to the Yorkipoo based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Siberian Husky and the Yorkipoo

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Siberian Husky in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Yorkipoo. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Siberian Husky is 71 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Yorkipoo is 85 out of 125.
Despite the higher Better-Pet score of the Yorkipoo, we still believe that the Siberian Husky is a better pet than the Yorkipoo.
This is because Siberian Huskys are much cuter but you cannot put a score on cuteness. If you could put a score on cuteness, then the Siberian Husky will come out on top.
Also, we are biased in favor of the Siberian Husky :-). We are for the Siberian Husky. So get a Siberian Husky!
