They are the smallest members of the Spitz dog family, which consists of the Samoyed, Alaskan Malamute, and Norwegian Elkhound, to name a few.
Nevertheless, they are independent and challenging dogs that sometimes forget their real size, so they can become aggressive or even – try to – attack other larger dogs. Thus, try to pay more attention to them when you go to the park – not because they could hurt another big dog, but they can challenge other dogs (some that aren’t that friendly) and it can end up badly for you and your tiny Pom.

People ask me all the time how old my “puppy” is. She was a rescue but we’re guessing around 14. She is white around the muzzle but there’s no other way you can tell she has mileage! Her temperament has never changed, her playfulness has never wavered, she DOES shed constantly (so what? I bought a better vacuum), and what’s written above is right on the nose. Start that brushing right away; Missy doesn’t like to be brushed and it’s an international furor every time I attempt it. But as mentioned above, they’re smart. Missy has her own attorney and her own publicity manager. I’m simply here to feed her and play with her on command. During COVID and cancer she has been a fantastic dog, friend, companion, door-barker, and judge of character. I’m even getting used to the attorney.
Yorkies!!! Where is the Yorkie?!!! My Yorkie is 13 and he still looks like a puppy!!! People can’t believe he is 13 years old.
