Pomeranian Mix

Pomeranian Mix
 

You may have heard about designer dog breeds; however, do you know exactly what they are? Basically, a designer breed is simply the result of a cross between two purebred dogs. This practice has become quite popular today as breeders try producing puppies that possess the best traits of each parent. Pomeranian mixes are favorite designer breeds because they are quite small and can fit in most any home. Furthermore, Pomeranians are sweet little dogs that make ideal companions for people looking for a lap dog. There are many Pomeranian designer breeds today, some of the most popular mixes are the Pomapoo, the Pomchi, and the Maltipom.

The Pomapoo, Pomchi, and Maltipom are some of the many cute Pomeranian Mixes. The POMAPOO is a designer breed that is a cross between a Pomeranian and a Toy Poodle. These cute little dogs are known by several names including Pomapoo, Poopom and Pooranian. A full grown Pomapoo can weigh anywhere from five to 15 pounds and can come in a variety of colors including orange, red, white, cream, black and tan, and black. While some Pomapoos have long flowing hair like the Pomeranian, others have hair that is more like that of a Poodle. <br><br> POMCHIS, also known as Chiranians, are dogs that are crosses between Pomeranians and Chihuahuas. An adult Pomchi can weigh between three and 10 pounds and typically has long silky hair without the thick undercoat of the Pomeranian. Pomchis have sweet expressions with round dark-colored eyes and triangular prick ears. The tail of the Pomchi is long, held high and curls slightly toward the head. <br><br> The MALTIPOM, also referred to as a Pomanees, is a Pomeranian/Maltese designer breed. Maltipoms are small dogs that mature at around three to 10 pounds. These adorable little dogs have round dark eyes, a sweet expression and triangular prick ears. The coat of a Maltipom is long and flowing with a tuft of hair cascading over the face. While many Maltipoms are white or cream-colored, they can also come in a variety of other colors including orange, red, black, parti-colored, and black and tan.

Personality

In any case, these Pomeranian mixes are sweet little dogs that love spending time with their humans. However, the Pomapoo can be a bit high-strung and can become frightened quite easily. The Pomchi's are active little dogs that are quite intelligent and easy to train. However, they can also be very high-strung and nervous. It is not uncommon for Pomchis to spend much of their time shaking. Finally, Pomchis love to bark and will bark at most anything. Much like other Pomeranian mixes, the Maltipom can be high-strung and can become easily frightened by such things as thunder storms and other loud noises.
