What Is a Porkie?

Brief Breed History
The Porkie developed during the designer dog trend that became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Breeders began combining well-known toy breeds to create new companion dogs with unique looks and personalities.
The Yorkshire Terrier originated in England as a small terrier used for catching rodents in textile mills, while the Pomeranian was historically favored by European royalty as a companion dog.
