Appearance

The Pomapoo is a little, toy-sized dog with a confident posture, a graceful movement, and a kind personality. This adorable puppy appears friendly, soft, and warm, eliciting instant devotion. Pomapoos stand 8 to 10 inches tall and weigh 8 to 10 pounds. Their coats are silky to the touch, low-shedding, short to medium length, and can be straight, wavy, or curly.

As a designer crossbreed of two dissimilar-looking parent breeds, the Pomapoo can have either the Pomeranian’s straight coat or the Poodle’s curly and non-shedding coat. Pomapoo characteristics can differ based on which parent breed they inherit. They may have floppy, pointed, or slightly elevated ears, black or hazel eyes, and a long to narrow nose. Their body is compact and coated with velvety fur in a variety of hues and color combinations, including white, black, brown, red, fawn, merle, and sable.

Temperament

Pomapoos are an appealing tiny breed of dog that is sweet-tempered, kind, and friendly. They have just the proper amount of sass, energy, humor, and love. Swimming, brisk walks in the cool weather, cuddling, playing canine games, and more cuddling are among their pastimes. They enjoy the beach, dog parks, and any camping trips they can go on with their human family.

Pomapoos are excellent family dogs. They create deep bonds with their owners, are wonderful companion pets for children, and are noted for their generous affection. Because of their small stature, these adorable pups are ideally suited to families with older children who can play gently with them. Pomapoo puppies are little gem dogs. They’re fluffy, charming, playful, bouncy, and colorful.

Pomapoo puppies inherit the brains of both parent breeds, resulting in smart dogs that are simple to train. Their passion to please, along with their ability to learn, makes them ideal training pupils. During puppyhood, these lovely pups can be stubborn, so pleasant training sessions with lots of praise and goodies are essential.

Pomapoos get along well with other dogs and household pets. They enjoy pleasant chases with their canine companions, are not aggressive, and are known to share their squeaky toys. The Pomapoo also enjoys being the focus of attention, where he may be admired, congratulated, and praised. He is a joker, stunt performer, and natural entertainer who brings laughter and joy into his home.

Care

Grooming

The Pomapoo is a dog with medium maintenance needs. Their grooming needs range from mild to moderate, depending on the kind and length of their coat. A Pomapoo with a straight coat sheds slightly and needs a fast brush or comb every other day, whereas a Pomapoo with a curly Poodle coat sheds very little, if at all, and only needs to be brushed every other day or twice a week. Many owners like to retain their Pomapoos in teddy bear, puppy, or lion cut. In any case, these dogs should have their coats trimmed three to four times per year by a skilled groomer.

To avoid tear stains under their beautiful eyes, Pomapoos’ faces should be wiped on a regular basis with a moist cloth or vet-approved dog wipes. Pomapoos are also prone to periodontal disease and should have their teeth brushed on a regular basis with veterinarian-approved dog toothpaste. Their ears and nails should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis, and trimmed as needed.

Pomapoos should be kept out of excessive heat in the summer and wrapped in a canine sweater in the winter because they are not accustomed to or built for it.

Exercise needs

Pomapoos are tiny toy-sized dogs who, while occasionally lively, do not require much exercise. An average of 30 minutes of exercise per day, along with a stroll and some active play indoors, will keep them happy, healthy, and fit. Their nature is often more laid-back and calm than active, and they would rather snuggle up with their owners on the couch than participate in strenuous activities.

Health

Although careful breeding eliminates the majority of common health problems in the Pomeranian and Poodle breeds, the Pomapoo can still be prone to issues that affect all dog breeds. Cataracts, dental troubles, weight gain, ear infections, and thyroid problems are some of the minor health issues that the Pomapoo can experience.

Lifespan

A pomapoo has an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years. The designer crossbreed’s parents, the Pomeranian and Poodle, have been known to outlive their expected lifespan. Lady, a Toy Poodle, was the oldest Poodle to have lived. Poodle Lady lived to the remarkable age of 28 years. Pomeranian dogs have also been known to survive considerably beyond their life expectancy, with some surviving up to 22 years. To ensure that your Pomapoo has a long and joyful life, provide lots of exercise and a diet rich in high-quality dog food.

Training

The pomapoo is a bright and intelligent dog. When properly motivated, he is a quick learner and a people-pleaser. Most toy-sized dogs develop little dog syndrome, which manifests as resistance during training, destructive behavior, and willfulness. Being treated or pampered excessively causes toy dogs to believe they rule the world and everyone in it, which can lead to unpleasant tendencies in adult dogs later in life.

Pomapoos should be trained from early puppyhood since they are the most impressionable and eager to learn. They are extremely bright and can be taught a wide range of tricks, commands, and skills. Positive reinforcement and reward-based strategies, including praise, puppy treats, patience, gentleness, and perseverance, are most effective with Pomapoo puppies. Full-grown pomapoos can be trained in agility and obedience.

Socialization of a Pomapoo puppy should begin as soon as their vaccinations are up to date. A well-socialized Pomapoo puppy will grow into a well-rounded, sociable adult dog. To avoid timidity or fearful behavior similar to that of adult dogs, puppies should be introduced to other pets, dogs, people, and sounds as early as possible.

Separation anxiety is frequent in Pomapoo puppies; thus, it is essential that you train them before leaving them alone for the first time.

History

The Pomapoo is a relatively recent designer doodle breed that combines a purebred Pomeranian and a purebred Toy Poodle. Both the Pomeranian and the Poodle are old breeds with a long history of working, loving companion companions, and showing. Because of their widespread popularity, they were crossed to produce the ideal lapdog and companion pet, inheriting the intellect, agility, pleasant demeanor, and trainability of both parent breeds. As a new designer crossbreed, the Pomapoo lacks a long breed history. To better comprehend the Pomapoo breed, we can look at the history of its parent breeds, the Poodle and the Pomeranian.

The Pomeranian puppy, also known as “Loulou de Pomeranie” and “Pom-Pom”, is the smallest member of the Spitz family and a very popular purebred breed. The sweet, small Pomeranian dogs we know and love today are descendants of a larger Spitz sled dog that originated in the Arctic region. The Pomeranian forefathers landed in Pomerania (a area of Germany and Poland) years ago and were well-received by the locals. The exquisite Pomeranian puppies, bred down in size and renamed by the Pomeranian tribe, made their way from the Baltic Sea all the way across Europe and onto the laps of kings and queens. Queen Victoria, one of the Pom-Pom’s biggest fans, bred the Pomeranians down in size by half over many generations and is credited with the breed’s ever-increasing popularity.

Poodle puppies, also known as Caniche, Pudelin, and Pudel, are among the most amazing dog breeds in the world today. The Poodle, with its hypoallergenic coat, high intellect, agility, and stunning beauty, is a popular companion pet, show dog, and movie star. Poodles originated in Germany and have gained popularity throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, and the United States. They have been dubbed the most popular breed in France, the trendiest pets of royalty, the greatest circus performers, and the best companion pets. Standard Poodles, which were popular with touring circuses, were bred down to a Miniature size for easier handling and control, and then to a Toy size, which was welcomed with adoring admiration. Poodles are the Einsteins of the canine world, and they are the most popular companion pets in many nations.

The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes the Pomapoo breed, which is reported to have developed in North America around the 1980s and 1990s. Pomapoo popularity has progressively expanded over time, and they are now among the most popular toy-sized dogs. The Pomeranian-Toy Poodle hybrid is one of the most popular in the United States.
