My Pompoo named Spike

This is my Pompoo.. He is part Pomeranian and part Poodle. Pompoos are a new breed of hybrid dogs or sometimes they are called designer dogs. Since they are fairly new, there isn't much written about them. So for that matter, I'm taking the opportunity to let my readers know about this breed from my own experience and from what I know.

Pomeranian plus Poodle = PomPoo

PomPoos also known as Pom-A-Poo or Pooranian are a cross between a pure-bred pomeranian and a pure-bred poodle. Poodles are used most often as the cross between other pure-breed dogs for their non-shedding coat. Pompoos are very friendly, intelligent and affectionate. They are ideal for families with children. Pompoos are also friendly with strangers, so they are not good watchdogs. Although,they will bark if they hear noises or if someone rings the doorbell. . Pompoos tend to get separation anxiety, when left alone for long periods of time. They would make a good companion for the elderly.


Their size is relatively small and can weigh up to 14 pounds. Their coloring will vary depending on the mix. They can be white, black or brown or a little of both. Their coat could be short to medium length. It may be straight or curly or a little of both. A Pompoos coat needs to be brushed daily to avoid matted hair. Some need to have their hair trimmed if its very curly Their ears can be floppy, like the poodle or pointed straight up like the pomeranian. PomPpoos can have tails like the poodle or a tall curled towards the back like the pomeranian.


PomPoos are high energy and need a lot of playtime.. They can live up to 10 to 15 years.of age Depending on the dog, they can be easy to litter train, like the poodle; or difficult to train, like most pomeranians.

    VERY cute! We had a PekiPoo (part Pekingese, part poodle) when I was in high school. She was the sweetest, coolest pup - but unfortunately NOT good looking! (Cross-breeding doesn't always go well looks-wise!)

    Oh, he is so cute! Just adorable. You forgot one great mix. I have a whoodle. :) She is a cross between a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and a Poodle. I think she looks like the Snuggle Fabric Softener Bear. :)

    Thank you. I would love to see a photo of your dog. Perhaps you can do a lens on your whoodle.

    I have to confess that I think that Poodles and Pomeranians are two of the least attractive breeds of dogs... but boy do they make lovely babies! Spike is adorable! Thanks for an informative lens.
