If you ask the owners of a Pomeranian and a Yorkshire Terrier about whose dog is better, each of them will point to their pet without a shadow of a doubt. Love for a four-legged friend excludes any other opinion.
Of course, there is no accounting for taste. It would be unfair to say that one breed of dog is better and another is worse. Both the Pomeranian and the Yorkshire Terrier have a number of advantages and disadvantages. Which of them you will like is an individual matter.

Dogs have the same level of intelligence, they get along in the city, and need walks. But for a family, a Yorkie is better, since it will be easier for it to perceive a “big pack,” and it will easily get along with others and even with cats. In terms of price, Yorkies are more affordable, although the cost evens out due to expensive food. However, if you want a dog just for yourself and are willing to invest in its training, a Pomeranian is a great choice.
