Have two....both rescues...one belongs to our college daughter and the other is mine. Very different in personality. Snowboy wants to sleep right against me and makes me so hot. Moxy, again will either sleep under the bed or in a different room on a couch. Towards morning she joins us in bed. My two Pommies know when I even crack an eyelid in the morning and are begging for a scratch. No going back to sleep with them around. Snowboy was taken away from his mother most likely around 6 wks. and has socialization issues. We're working on them. Moxy, again, must have been around children because she loves my granddaughters. Please do remember, though, that Pommies have fur not hair like our Yorkies do. They require a much more thorough comb....getting down to the roots to take out the undercoat that tends to knot. Start young so that it becomes a normal routine and he/she learns not to bite when it pulls. Mine get combed every night. My two Pommies shed much more than my Yorkies so that needs to be addressed. Both Pommies are barkers when there's a noise they don't understand. When they're outside, though, they tend to not be the barkers.....the Yorkies are. Pommies also tend to want to overeat. My vet told me that Pommies don't know when to stop. I'm very strict with how much they get to eat. Exercise is a must to keep them trim and healthy. To me the most important thing to accept is the hair. If that bugs you, skip getting a Pommie. I do love mine. They are adorable. Have had 3 before these two. Good luck. ~Joanne~
