This playful mixed breed between a Pomeranian and a Toy Poodle was developed during the late 1990s in North America. The small and intelligent Pomapoo can also be called a Pompoo, Poopom, Pooranian, or a Pomeroodle. The Pomapoo is a loving and easy to train breed and would do well living in an apartment, as well as in large families. It would be important to have early training and socialization to have a very well behaved pup. This breed is sensitive and does not like to be alone so having another pet in the home would be helpful. The Pomapoo is very sociable and has an easygoing personality which is helpful for new dog owners, the elderly, or just about anyone. The breed does not do well in extremes of temperatures whether hot or cold. They are very affectionate and loving to their family, and especially to the one who mainly cares for them. The Pomapoo is a low shedder but would need to be professionally groomed every six to eight weeks. It would depend on which parent breed the pup takes after. The Pomapoo’s coat is typically white, brown, black, fawn, red, or sable, and is sometimes multi-colored. Their ears need daily care and cleaning, as well as their nails trimmed once or twice a month. Due to their being a small breed their oral hygiene is of utmost importance and daily brushing of their teeth is essential. The Pomapoo is in the Mixed Breed Dog classification, and is typically 8-12 inches high, weighs 5-15 pounds, and has a lifespan of 12-15 years. They do have a tendency to gain weight, and their exercise needs are in the medium category so one walk a day would be sufficient. With regular care and routine veterinary visits your Pomapoo should live a long and happy life.
