Nori- Pom mixed with Corgi/Yorkie

I rescued my sweet girl from a high-kill shelter when she was about 5 months old. She had been picked up as a stray and then became very ill at the shelter- by the time I got her she had been there 3 weeks (they held her longer because she was so cute) and had dropped to 10 lbs from 13. They had her listed as a "cattle dog mix" which I knew was wrong....but what was she? She had pneumonia and it took a couple of months for her true personality to shine through- but now we love her so much!

I just had the DNA (Wisdon Panel) test done and it came back as one parent was a pure Pomeranian, which didn't surprise me- but the other parent is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi/Yorkshire terrier cross!

Nori stands about 14" and is nearly 16 lbs of muscle with medium length very soft fur, which feels like angora. Her tail is a beautiful plume that streams out behind her when she runs. Her ears flop over - and now I can't figure out where she got them from.

She loves all dogs and people. She alternates between shadowing me around the house and going off by herself to hunt bugs outside in the grass. She can jump high and has been getting into trouble in the garden- eating tomatoes off the vine.

She is a beautiful, sturdy yet dainty dog that charms everyone she meets. I have relented and she now sleeps on the bed at my feet.
