| yorkie pom puppy help Hi, so I have a 2 year old yorkie and just got a yorkie pom mix. He is 3 months old and had tapeworms and slight kennel cough when I got him. Today I took him to the vet and got medicine for flea prevention and to rid the parasite. Not old enough or ready for second round of vaccines. Anyways just need general info. I've noticed most yorkies act the same. Anyone have experience with this mix breed? I've only had him a few days and he's absolutely adorable but worried about size and temperament? I know alot has to do with training early. Anyone? Or can anyone post pix of their mix? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The one piece of advice I want to give is to *not* get him the kennel cough vaccine again - as that's where he probably contracted it in the first place, from the vaccine itself. It's not a core vaccine, it's not needed. Core vaccines are rabies, and distemper / parvo.

| Congrats on you new puppy and welcome to Yorkie Talk. What are you pups names, hope you share photos of your pair My Lola is a yorkie pom and LOL i have to say I have cutest yorkie pom mix on the planet. I am also blessed because she is a happy little girl, she weighs about 5.5 lbs and loves life, fetches till the cows come home, loves to swim and even dock dives. She looks like a yorkie but fluffier with a LONG tail that is amazing. She is my first mix and after having several purebred yorkies my husband and i were horrified when we realized she still had a tail. Little did i realize this would be her absolute best feature we LOVE her tail and I don't think i will ever get a dog without a tail again. We got Lola when she was three months she is 6 now and shows no sign of slowing down. One thing she does that they say is a pom thing is she spins allot. She runs up with her toy drops it and spins like four times if she thinks she is going for a walk she spins, she spins if she is happy or excited and in general because she plays, walks, and is happy often she spins a lot! Now that being said your pup might not look or act anything like Lola, because when you breed mix breeds it's a crap shoot on what they look like. Lola's brother was 100% brown and looked more like a pom, i have seen them look like foxes and some can be large. I belong to a yorkie meetup group and some of the ladies breed and a few had poms, after seeing how cute Lola is a couple tried breeding yorkie poms and not one has looked like like Lola, one was all golden and one was sort of dark, cute but different from Lola. But at 3 months you should have a good idea of what you pup will look like. Please post photos an again welcome to Yorkie Talk

| if you check under my profile there are some more photos a few are without clothing when she was under a year old, it's in an album called Lola being Lola it's easier to see how fluffier she is compared to a traditional yorkie

Just note that most doggy daycares (in my city anyway) will not accept dogs without the kennel cough vaccine. I have never and don't ever plan on leaving them at a daycare, so it works out well for me.

Her "best" friend Carlie is a yorkie/shnauzer. She is just like any other yorkie I've seen or heard of. She's very, very, similar to my gal- except in one teensy detail. She talks. A lot. Chewie does, too. She always has, She even talks back. Carlie, however, is ridiculously vocal. Chewie will come back barking while husband is eating dinner. I say that, because she will NEVER beg from husband. Me? yes. Husband? No. She even learned to bark like a fiend from Carlie, particularly at this huge dog. This was all newly learned in the last four months. I'm saying this because each dog has personality traits, and in order for you to truly know you'll have to research to know the traits of the Pomeranian, then wait to see if it's a mixture of both, or one more than the other. *I want to add that my husband's best friend-someone who is "uncle" to my daughter, had a yorkie/coton de tulear mix. She's stubborn and willful, just like a yorkie. She also allowed my 5 month old puppy to dominate her completely. In her own home. And she was 4 at the time. I'm giving you these examples so you'll know it's seriously a toss up. Last edited by JennaPenny; 03-29-2017 at 08:58 AM. Reason: forgot one thing to add. | |

| Both kennel cough and tapeworms can be contagious so you probably need to try to keep them separated.

You know because injecting live bacteria/viruses into a living being doesn't sound like a very bright idea... I mean I get why, but can't it reproduce once its inside a body? So it'll only get worse? Please educate me on this as I really have no clue. I recall being lectured recently but you know deaf ears... but now I want to know. | |

| thank you guys for all the advice I just needed to know if anyone had any info on the breed, characteristics, etc. Right now as he gets more settled he is more playful, his cough is going away, and he's vocal but not in a bad way. Also he's easy to train so far and is getting the idea of puppy pad and outside potty time. As far as the parasite problem I just see improvement and hopefully in a week when he goes for his second set of vaccines he'll be as good as new. Also can't upload photos because files are too big. He's a fluffy blue merle. |
