kscott1231, I'm really glad you ended up with a nice one. With any kind of mix breed it's pretty much a crapshoot as far as temperament and looks go.
kairi_s_nobody, you could end up with a dog like hers, or you could end up with something on the other end of the spectrum.....like a shiba size dog with a pom coat and a really bad attitude towards other dogs and very high drive to catch and kill small animals.
Mixes can be great dogs, but definitely go for a rescue if you really want one. That way you will be able to select a dog with the kind of temperament you want, the kind of look you want, size, etc. You also will not be supporting somebody who just breeds dogs wily nily for the sake of supplementing their income.

I know this post is EXTREMELY old and dead... >_> But oh well... ((Blame Bing, it led me here... .-.))
I had been looking for a puppy for a while. I had either wanted a Pembroke Welsh Corgi or a Shiba Inu (I know, completely different personalities.)
I came across a Shiba breeder who had a litter a Pom-Shi puppies. They were $100, and believe or not one of the least expensive puppies I had come across the last 6 months or so.
So, I contacted the person and met him that day. Very nice people. They gave me my little 9-week-old Tobias Comet (Tobi). They said he won't get bigger than 15 pounds!
He is very healthy, but nervous. They raised that litter in a barn so he wasn't used to being an inside dog so the new things scared him for the first couple of days! His personality has definitely come out now though! He is now 12 weeks old and a goofball!
The Good Things That I've Noticed So Far About My Pom-Shi:
EXTREMELY Dog Friendly
The SOFTEST coat!
Very clean
Funny and full of personality!
The Not-So-Good Things That I've Noticed:
Very suspicious of new PEOPLE and situations.
Got the yappiness of the Pomeranian...
Very Nippy and Wiggly
Will Back Away from you if you move too Quickly
Here are some pictures of my baby Pomeranian/Shiba Tobias!:
Another Cute Picture of Tobi
And a picture from his "awkward phase", lol. 10-11 weeks old.
Our other dog is a Rottie/Lab mix that was on the euthanasia list for the week at a local shelter, so we adopted him, lol. Totally worth it~ Him and Tobi and best friends! :]

And this is becuase yousupported a bck yard breeder. who did not socialize the puppis enough with everday things like a good breede does (vacums doos,people,doorbells ect) being born in a barn, yah great breeders....
nice that you bumped a few year old thread to boast about supporting back yard breeders.
