Yoranian Locations

The search for a Yoranian—that charming cross between the spirited Yorkshire Terrier and the fluffy Pomeranian, sometimes also called a Yorkie Pom or Porkie Pom—is often a hunt across geographically diverse points of sale. ^[2] While the breed itself is documented as being native to the general location of North-America, ^[2] tracking down an available puppy involves navigating a marketplace that spans from established retail chains to smaller, specialized online breeders. ^[1][3] Understanding these different types of "locations" is key to any prospective owner’s acquisition process.

# Retail Presence Stateside

One prominent channel for finding a Yoranian is through brick-and-mortar pet retailers that maintain online galleries for their current stock. This approach often centralizes the puppy acquisition experience, bundling the animal with ancillary services and documentation. Several specific locations across the United States clearly list or have listed Yoranians, or dogs explicitly labeled as their parent breeds (Pomeranian/Yorkie mix), available for viewing and purchase. ^[3]

For instance, Petland locations present several data points showing Yoranian availability across different states. In Florida, the Petland Largo store has advertised specific puppies, such as a female Yoranian mix named "Sugar," complete with detailed information like a reference ID and an exact date of birth (in one record, listed as August 9, 2025). ^[3] The Kennesaw, Georgia, branch of the same chain also features records of adopted Yoranians, such as a male born in March 2022. ^[1] Further north, Petland Racine in Wisconsin shows similar history, including a listing for a male Yoranian from September 2019. ^[3]

These retail locations seem to offer standardized support packages alongside the puppy itself. The Petland Racine location, for example, mentions a 90-day Health Warranty and an 18-Month Hereditary/Congenital Warranty. ^[3] Petland Kennesaw specifies a 14-day Health Warranty and a Limited 1 Year Hereditary/Congenital Warranty, often in conjunction with a "Puppy For a Lifetime Program". ^[1] This suggests a consistent, albeit commercially structured, path to ownership through this type of location.

Beyond Petland, the southwest sees specialized pet stores acting as puppy locations. Animal Kingdom | Puppies N Love in Arizona has gallery listings for Yoranians, with one record showing an adoption from their Tucson Mall location. ^[1] This store also indicates multiple contact points across the state, including Arizona Mills Mall, Arrowhead Towne Center, Paradise Valley, and SanTan Village. ^[1]

# Independent Breeder Listings

Another significant component of Yoranian locations comes from aggregator sites that list numerous independent, often smaller-scale, breeders. PuppyFinder.com, for instance, cataloged five Yoranian breeders across the US in its data set, showing the breed’s decentralized marketing spread. ^[1]

This collection of independent locations reveals a presence across the Midwest and East Coast:

• Virginia: A breeder near Huddleston, VA, listed themselves as specializing in Yorkies and Frenchies while also advertising Yoranians. ^[1]
• Kentucky: Lewisburg, KY, hosts at least two separate breeders on the platform, one of whom noted their devotion to raising puppies in a safe, clean, and loving environment. ^[1]
• Illinois: Forest Park, IL, had a breeder listing advertising a "Yorkipom Terrier," though their description confusingly suggested a mix with a Toy Poodle instead of a Pomeranian, highlighting a common ambiguity in designer mix listings. ^[1]
• Indiana: Middletown, IN, featured a breeder focusing on various "Designer Puppies," confirming the Yoranian falls squarely within that market segment. ^[1]

It appears that the term "Yoranian" functions less as a pure breed standard and more as a market designator for a Yorkie/Pom mix, resulting in its advertisement wherever small designer dogs are produced and marketed, including listings seen on sites like 954 Puppies and Blue Sky Puppies. ^[4][5] A similar dedicated site, UYR.us, also participates in connecting buyers with puppies.

# Analyzing Location Commitments

When evaluating these different Yoranian locations, prospective owners are implicitly choosing between two distinct models of support and traceability. The retail chain locations (Petland in FL, GA, WI ^[1][3]) tend to present a highly structured sales environment. The listed puppies, even those already adopted, come with specific Reference IDs, defined birth dates, and, crucially, explicit, multi-tiered health warranties and structured programs like training or "Puppy for a Lifetime" enrollment. ^[1][3] This suggests a high degree of initial procedural standardization at the point of sale, though it does not speak to the long-term experience with the breeder source itself.

Conversely, the independent breeder locations aggregated via PuppyFinder, such as those in Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana, offer profiles that emphasize home environments and family involvement. ^[1] While this might imply a more intimate, less commercial start for the puppy, the stated support mechanisms appear less uniform than the major retail chains. For instance, one breeder in Lewisburg, KY, highlights their dedication to human contact, while the listing from Forest Park, IL, shows the potential for cross-naming conventions that muddy the simple Yoranian definition. ^[1] Prospective owners must probe these independent locations for specific warranty details, as they are not always presented as prominently as they are with the national retail franchises.

If we quickly map the primary modes of location against their disclosed support structures based on the available online information, a pattern emerges:

This structural difference is important for setting expectations. A buyer interacting with a Petland location in Wisconsin or Florida is immediately presented with a contractually defined health backing, ^[3] whereas a buyer contacting a listing in Kentucky sourced via PuppyFinder must likely negotiate or request documentation regarding post-sale support directly with the breeder. ^[1]

# The Geography of Designer Dogs

The documentation confirms that the Yoranian is found throughout the US, but the specific locations show a concentration in specific service areas. The retail locations anchor the breed in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), the Midwest (Wisconsin), and the Southwest (Arizona). ^[1][3] Simultaneously, the independent breeder network mentioned points toward a solid base in the Mid-Atlantic/Upper South (Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois). ^[1]

It is worth noting the estimated financial outlay associated with acquiring one of these companions. While the initial purchase price is estimated between \400 and \1,000, ^[2] the ongoing commitment is substantial. One source suggested an annual maintenance cost of around $1,000. ^[2] This financial reality, regardless of the location you find the puppy—be it a mall in Arizona or a small-town breeder in Kentucky—remains a constant factor for the owner, emphasizing that the primary "location" for the dog is ultimately the owner's home and budget for the next decade or more. ^[2]

# Practical Next Steps in the Location Hunt

For those focusing their search on a specific physical location, such as visiting the Petland in Kennesaw, GA, or arranging a visit to a breeder in Lewisburg, KY, the next step is almost universally administrative. Every listed location demands direct contact, whether by phone or through detailed web forms requiring personal information like name, email, and phone number. ^[1][3] This is necessary whether you are trying to schedule a viewing appointment, inquire about pricing (which is often not posted publicly, especially at retail chains), or arrange a virtual meet-and-greet using platforms like FaceTime or WhatsApp. ^[3]

When pursuing a Yoranian, the location dictates the interface you use to take the next step. A retail chain often prompts immediate scheduling for an in-person or video meeting for a specific, listed puppy. ^[3][1] Conversely, many of the independent listings, especially those on aggregator sites, guide you toward creating a "Wanted Ad" or reaching out to inquire about future litters, as the puppy you are interested in might already be spoken for. ^[1] The ability of the Yoranian to be listed under slightly varying names—Yorkie Pom, Porkie Pom, or even mixed with a Poodle influence in some marketing—means that a geographically focused search needs flexibility in terminology to capture all potential local listings. ^[2][1]
