The Yorkie-Pom, also known as the Porkie, is a designer breed that results from crossing a purebred Pomeranian with a Yorkshire Terrier. Because both lineage dogs are on the smaller side, this results in a very small mixed breed. When fully grown, Yoranians may reach a height of only 6 to 12 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 3 to 7 pounds. They are best suited for singles and seniors, as well as families with small children. Because of their size, apartment living, or homes without large yards are perfectly fine dwellings for them to call home, unlike other larger breeds of dogs.
Because they are a small breed of dog, the Yorkie-Pom will require a specialized diet consisting of high-quality dog food formulated specifically to meet the needs of small, active dogs. They are also highly intelligent and will require plenty of play and exercise to ensure they have adequate mental stimulation.
