Breed Profile
As a cross between peppy Poodles and bright Pomeranians, Pomapoos are a smart, friendly breed that craves being around people 24/7. The specifics of their personality and looks will vary because of their mixed background, but you can count on these little pups to be cuddly companions no matter what.
Behavior
The Pomapoo is smart, energetic, playful, loving, and loyal. They become very attached to their families, and some even develop separation anxiety and bark when they sense their owners are leaving. Pomapoos crave attention, but be careful not to pamper them too much, or they could become spoiled and too dependent.
Coat
The Pomapoo’s coat can be straight, curly, or anywhere in between and can also vary from short to medium length. These pups come in a variety of colors, including black, white, and brown, which is most common. Like the Poodle, they don’t shed much and should only need to be brushed regularly to maintain their mane.
Lifestyle
Pomapoos get along very well with kids, but young children should be supervised around them to make sure the dogs are treated with respect. This breed is friendly with strangers and will happily live with other dogs and cats. Because they’re so small, Pomapoos are perfectly happy with apartment life, but regardless of the setting, they need to live indoors and be around people.
Activity
The Pomapoo needs an average amount of exercise each day to stay fit and happy. They are content either playing indoors or taking some time for a walk or playtime outside. They’re also smart and catch on quickly, so they can learn the ropes of training or new activities with ease.

Pomapoo Buyer's Guide
Pomapoos are a mix of happy-go-lucky Poodles and spunky Pomeranians. Determining what these pups will be like is always difficult because each dog is a unique blend. At their best, Pomapoos are outgoing, playful, and loving, but they also may be on the shy side if the Pomeranian genes are stronger. They tend to get along very well with children and other pets in the home because they crave companionship of any kind. Pomapoos that are banished to the backyard will be unhappy pups, so keep them inside and close by your side to make sure they feel happy and loved.
