A Pomapoo is a cross between a Pomeranian and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. They are small, friendly, and smart dogs that make great companions. In Indiana, Pomapoo puppies from ethical breeders typically cost between $1,200 and $2,500. At Posh Puppies Indiana, we are happy to answer any questions about our available Pomapoo puppies.

Most Pomapoos weigh between 5 and 20 pounds and stand 8 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder. Their size depends on which parent they take after and whether a Toy or Miniature Poodle was used in the breeding. Pomapoos bred from a Toy Poodle tend to be on the smaller end. Either way, they are smaller dogs that fit well in apartments, condos, and single-family homes.

It depends on their generation and which coat they inherit. First generation (F1) Pomapoos are roughly 50% Pomeranian and 50% Poodle, while F1B Pomapoos are roughly 25% Pomeranian and 75% Poodle, meaning they may inherit the curlier Poodle coat and shed less. Pomapoos with a straighter Pomeranian coat are expected to shed more. Since this is a mixed breed, you cannot know for certain which coat a puppy will have at birth. No dog is 100% allergen free, but curly-coated Pomapoos come close. If allergies are a concern, spending time with the puppy before committing is a smart step, and you can schedule a visit with a Pomapoo from Posh Puppies Indiana.

Pomapoos need brushing at least three to four times a week to prevent mats, especially around the ears and legs. A slicker brush works well for curly coats. A pin brush is great for wavy or straighter coats. Plan on professional grooming every six to eight weeks for trimming. Occassional tooth brushing is also important since small dogs are prone to dental disease. Groom and clean around their eyes regularly to prevent tear staining or dirt getting under their eyelids.

Pomapoos are friendly, playful, and loving. They bond closely with their families and enjoy being near people. They are smart and usually easy to train using treats and praise. They can have a stubborn or vocal side from their Pomeranian genes, so training from puppyhood helps. They do not do well when left alone for long periods and may bark or become anxious. Short training sessions and plenty of attention keep them happy.

Yes, Pomapoos generally get along well with children and other pets when socialized early. However, their small size means they are delicate and can be hurt by rough play. They are best suited for homes with gentle or older children who know how to handle a small dog appropriately. With other dogs and cats they have been raised around, Pomapoos are typically friendly and easy to get along with. Supervised introductions with new pets are always a good idea.

Pomapoos can inherit health issues from both parent breeds. The most common concerns are patellar luxation (a knee condition), dental disease, and eye problems like cataracts. Their small jaws cause tooth crowding, making daily brushing and a healthy diet important. Pomapoos benefit from hybrid vigor, which means they are often healthier than either parent breed alone. Ask us about our regular vet checkups and the health history of a puppy's parents.

Pomapoos typically live 12 to 16 years with good care. They come in a wide range of colors including white, cream, black, brown, red, sable, fawn, and merle. Some have solid coats and others have two or more colors. Their look can vary a lot even within the same litter depending on which parent they take after. At Posh Puppies Indiana, we would love to help you find the Pomapoo that is the right fit for your family.
