Breed Description:
The Weeranian breed of dog is a "designer" or mixed breed that was created by crossing the West Highland White Terrier with the Pomerian. Because of this, a breed type has not been established and the looks and temperament of the dog can greatly change from one puppy to the next. Generally, the Weeranian will have qualities of both parents. They are a toy sized breed of dog with a slightly longer body than they are tall. They should have a small, slightly flat head that is wedge shaped with large, erect ears that are triangular in shape. The tail can be docked but usually they are curled over the back, similar to the Pomeranian.
The coat of the Weeranian is usually medium in length with a slightly wiry feel to it. There should be double coat with a soft and short undercoat. The color of the Yoranian can be any of the two parents but it is commonly dark brown or cream with gray and white markings.
