Pomapoo (also known as Pooranian, Pom-A-Poo, Pom A Poo, Poopom)

A Pomapoo (also known as Pooranian, Pom-A-Poo, Pom A Poo, Poopom) is a mix between a Pomeranian and, most often, the toy or miniature sized Poodle.  They are quite tiny weighing in at only 3 – 14 pounds, and standing 8 – 12 inches tall.  The Pomapoo’s appearance can differ greatly amongst each other as some may take on the long, narrow muzzle of the Poodle, and others the wedge-shaped head of the Pomeranian.  Also, when it comes to tails, they may have the straight tail of the Poodle, or the high-set tail of the Pomeranian.  The Pomapoo’s coat may range from straight to wavy, and may be short to medium in length.  They also come in a variety of colors such as brown (most common), black, or white.  Pomapoos are very loving with their family members and crave human attention, and affection.  Separation anxiety has been known to occur in these dogs as they become very attached to their owners.  They should be taught from the start how to spend time alone, and should not be overly pampered, or spoiled.  They tend to view outsiders as friends and for this reason are not considered good watch dogs.  Perfect for the apartment dweller, they do not need a lot of space, and require only a moderate amount of exercise.  A daily walk, play session, or off-leash run in a fenced area will keep the Pomapoo healthy and happy.  Pomapoos also make a great family pet as most are good with children as well as other household pets.

When considering the nature of the Pomapoo you must consider the characteristics of both the Pomeranian and the Poodle separately in order to determine the characteristics the Pomapoo may exhibit.

Pomeranian

The Pomeranian is very lively and independent in nature with a sweet and gentle temperament.  They are very affectionate, loyal, and devoted to their owners.  They quickly develop close bonds with their owner, but if not taught to spend time alone are prone to developing separation anxiety.  They are very intelligent and make excellent companion dogs.  They are very alert and aware of noises and can tend to become incessant barkers if not trained when it is okay to bark and when it is not.  However, their barking can also make them very good watch dogs, alerting their owners of the presence of outsiders, or of any unusual noises.  Pomeranians are typically very friendly dogs and are not considered to be aggressive; however, at times they can be very protective of their food and toys.  They are a smart breed with an eagerness to please which makes them easily trained.

Poodle

The Poodle comes in three different sizes, toy (10” and under, 6-9 1bs.), miniature (10-15”, 15-17 1bs.), and standard (over 15”, 45-70 1bs.).  The Poodle has been cited as being the 2^nd most intelligent breed of dog.  Their exceptional intelligence, paired with the fact that they are generally very eager to please, empowers them to excel in obedience training.  They learn quickly and will delight in showing off their new tricks.  Poodles are generally very easy to housebreak.  They are loyal and devoted companions, extremely people-oriented, and crave lots of love and attention.  They are typically calm, good natured, with a sweet temperament, and the ability to bond with all members of their human family.  The standard poodle, in particular, does extremely well in families with young children, while the toy and miniatures fair better with older children.  Poodles do not do well in households where they will be left alone for long periods of time, left outside, or bound to one room of the house.  Poodles have an extremely low-shedding, dense coat which is either curly or corded and should be groomed every 6 – 8 weeks to prevent mats and tangles.  If you should so decide, their coat can also be kept short for low-maintenance.  Poodles come in a variety of colors such as silver, cream, gray, blue, black, white, apricot, red, caf-au-lait, brown, and parti-colored.  The Poodle is oftentimes referred to as the hypo-allergenic dog.  But, while there truly is no such thing as a completely hypo-allergenic dog, they are unquestionably more compatible with allergic persons than other breeds.   Being classified as highly energetic, the poodle, like most dogs, will appreciate daily exercise, such as a walk, play session, or a run at the dog park.

Chloe is a pomapoo rescue dog and we have no idea how old she is. She is 3/4 poodle and 1/4 pomeranian. I had her DNA tested at Wisdom Panel (from Amazon). Most people think she is a bichon mix. She is very loving and smart, and she has been trained. I have had her for a year and a half and can’t imagine being without her. She likes people and goes up to them to be petted or just to greet them. She doesn’t like big dogs and growls and snarls at them, but she is fine with small dogs and cats. She is cuddly and she sleeps with me.
