OK, first of all, anybody who calls the "YORKIEPOO" a breed, knows NOTHING about dogs. There is NO SUCH THING as a YORKIEPOO. Anybody who sells YORKIPOO pups are simply selling MUTTS. That is what you are paying $600 for. A mutt. A mutt that SUPPOSEDLY does not shed. All dogs shed to some degree. When the dog is crossed with a LOW shedding dog and a dog that sheds does NOT mean the puppies will not shed at all. You might get the genes of the low-shedding dog or you might get the genes of the dog that sheds a lot. Anybody selling YORKIEPOO puppies are BACKYARD BREEDERS that do not care about the puppies health or welfare, their dogs health or welfare or that they are adding MORE MUTTS to our shelters.

Don't get a dog because you don't even know that there is no breed such as a YORKIEPOO.

Pomeranians; here's some facts

The Pomeranian is a very active dog who is intelligent, courageous, and a loyal companion. But due to its small size can suffer abuse from children. Beneath the pomeranian's fur is a small but muscular little dog, similar to a Chihuahua.

Pomeranians can be trained to be good watchdogs by announcing intruders with loud, sharp barks or yips. Unfortunately, lack of very dedicated training has instead led this breed to a reputation for constant, undirected barking. For this reason, these dogs can prove very stressful company for those unaccustomed to their vocal nature. But stating "NO!" in a firm, gentle voice will let them know when it is wrong for them to bark.

The Pomeranian easily adapts to life in the city, and is an excellent dog for country living with its strong hunting instincts from its wild ancestors.



Pomeranians are generally a healthy, hardy, and long-lived breed. Poms often live 12–16 years. Some very healthy Poms have even been known to live 18-20 years.

The most common problem in Pomeranians is luxating patella. Also Legg-Calvé-Perthes syndrome and hip dysplasia can occur, but are rare in this small breed. Patent ductus arteriosus (a heart disease) and collapsing trachea have become serious problems in Poms. Dry eye, tear duct disorders and cataracts that can appear in young adulthood and often lead to blindness are also common. Skin diseases are quite common, especially allergies (that often leads to acute moist dermatitis or "hot spots") and follicular dysplasia (also known as alopecia X). Other problems that occur regularly include hypothyroidism, epilepsy, and hypoglycemia. Occasionally, hydrocephalus can occur in Pom puppies. Poms, like many Toy breeds, are prone to bad teeth and harmless episodes of reverse sneezing.

[edit] Grooming

Coat care for the Pomeranian is similar to the Pekingese. A daily or twice weekly brushing is essential to keep the thick, plush coat, which sheds seasonally, free of mats. Brushing also helps to prevent dry skin and dandruff. A Pomeranian's coat needs very little trimming only every now and then. Combing is seldom necessary and sometimes totally unnecessary. Regular ear and nail care is recommended, along with peak seasonal bathing. However, it is unadvisable to bathe Pomeranians too frequently, as excessive bathing can damage their skin and coat by removing essential oils. Pomeranians are also prone to teeth problems, and it is recommended that their teeth be brushed at least once a week. Ideally, their teeth should be brushed daily.

There are benefits and drawbacks to either breed.

Which one do you like the look of better? Start there.

Then, make sure you train the dog well and you will have the best pet regardless of which breed you go with.

Do a search on the internet about both breeds and what type of home they need, exercise, grooming, etc. and then decide which one better fits with your lifestyle and home.
