Understand the breed and its characteristics. It is important to note the pomapoo is not a purebred dog; instead, it is a mix between a poodle and a pomeranian. By understanding this, you can get a better idea of the pomapoo's temperament, which tends to be docile in nature like a poodle, yet a bit aggressive like a pomeranian, which may cause it to consistently bark in its younger days. Because both pomeranians and poodles enjoy attention, the pomapoo is considered a sociable dog;, it is important that you are capable of devoting enough attention in order to keep your pomapoo happy. Also consider socializing your pomapoo with other dogs at a young age.
Groom your pomapoo. Because the pomapoo is a hybrid of two dogs, it will either have coarse, curly hair or straight, longer hair. For pomapoos with straighter hair, all that is required is brushing twice a week. For pomapoos with curly hair, frequent brushing is necessary as coarse, curly hair tends to trap more insects and is prone to skin problems. Consider taking him to a professional dog groomer once every few weeks. Doing this will allow for easier daily grooming.
Exercise your pomapoo. Since the pomapoo tends to be very energetic and active, treat your dog to a long walk.
Housebreak your pomapoo. Since this breed is known to be a bit more difficult to housebreak, one of the best ways of housebreaking your pomapoo is by using the crate technique. To do this, place your pomapoo puppy in a crate large enough to house your puppy and a litter box. About every hour or so, place your puppy in the crate so that he gets used to using the bathroom in the litter box. Each time he uses the litter box, praise him.
How to Raise a Pomapoo
Pomapoos, or sometimes referred to as pooranians, are a hybrid dog -- a mix between a poodle and a pomeranian. Since these dogs are not purebred, they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club. Hybrid dogs, such as the pomapoo, tend to be healthier and are less likely to form common genetic disorders usually found in purebred dogs. If you are thinking of adopting a pomapoo puppy, there are a few things to consider in order to raise a happy and healthy dog.
