pomapoos

The feisty offspring of a Pomeranian and a Miniature or Toy Poodle, the Pomapoo is diminutive pup with a larger than life personality. Adorable, adaptable and affectionate, the Pomapoo is an affable canine that is too sweet not to love.

Like the Pomeranian, Pomapoo love everyone, but are likely to choose a single person to latch on to. Pomapoos are always adorable, intelligent, and eager to please. Like the Poodle and the Pomeranian, Pomapoos are unwavering in their loyalty to their family and tend to shadow their owners around the house.

As a crossbreed, Pomapoos come in many varieties. Versatile, compact and delightfully intelligent, Pomapoos are the perfect city-dwelling companion and well-suited to apartment living. If you're in the market for a fearless, mischievous and adorable little lapdog, you won't find a better companion than a Pomapoo.

The Pomapoo is a cross between a Toy Poodle and a Pomeranian that weighs between 5 – 15 pounds and has a life expectancy of 12 – 15 years.  While designer breeds like the Pomapoo are often healthier when compared to their purebred counterparts, they can still be predisposed to some of the same health conditions. With proper care and yearly vet exams, the majority of Pomapoos will live long and healthy lives. Monitor your dog for any physical or behavioral changes, and contact your veterinarian with any concerns.
