3. Archie: 6-year-old Abandoned Pomeranian

​Meet Archie! Archie is a 5-6 year old male Pomeranian who was rescued from being found left in a dumpster. Now safe at Husky House, Archie is looking for his loving forever home. Unfortunately, Archie has had a few seizures since arriving at Husky House, so he takes medication twice daily to help manage them. 

Poor Archie is very nervous around people, which is understandable given his history. He does not go out of his way to snap, but may growl or get snappy when people do not respect his boundaries (e.g. try to pick him up when he is uncomfortable). Archie does well with other small dogs. He has never been cat tested but would be expected to do well with cats as he is small and not overly playful. Interested in adopting Archie?

@kaylakleine the bear was in our kitchen for a few min eating the dog food… #bear #guarddog #pomeranian #vancouver #fyp ♬ Welp, Didn't Expect That – Yu-Peng Chen & HOYO-MiX

In a recent TikTok video, Kayla Kleine (@kaylakleine) shared how Scout, her 5-pound Pomeranian, became the perfect guard dog when a black bear wandered into their home and Sco​​ut bravely chased him out. 

Big Courage, Tiny Package

The whole showdown was caught on a security camera, starting with the bear strolling in through the patio door and sniffing around. That’s when Scout burst onto the scene, barking, growling, and charging straight at the intruder until the massive animal bolted out of the house in fear.

Kayla revealed in the caption that the bear had wandered into the kitchen and helped itself to the dog food. One amused TikTok user commented, “I think he was mad about the bear eating his food.”

In another post, Kayla revealed that this wasn’t the bear’s first visit. In fact, he and his mom had stopped by before.

In addition, a follow-up clip shows Scout standing tall in the backyard, kicking his hind legs and barking into the air, as if declaring victory. This little pup is clearly ready to take on any bear bold enough to try again.

From Backyard Defender to Viral Star

It’s no wonder the clip went viral. This tiny hero’s big moment has racked up over 5 million views, more than 887,000 likes, and thousands of comments. To top it off, Scout’s fearless feat has even caught the attention of news outlets, eager to share his incredible bravery.

One viewer, Aya, joked, “Both of them are underestimating their sizes 😭.” Another added, “Tiny dogs are seriously the wildest.”

Scout’s run-in with the bear has cemented his status as the tiniest, fluffiest guard dog in Vancouver. Whether he’s defending his turf, his humans, or his dinner, one thing’s certain, this Pom takes his job very seriously… even if it means chasing off a creature ten times his size.

@trueandfaithful I was left with a collapsing trachea, rotting teeth, and hernias so large I can barely move. My friend and I are fighting to survive. Can you help us?” What They Need: These two sweet dogs have been neglected for far too long and are in desperate need of life-saving care.

Tina struggled with a collapsing trachea, while both dogs had massive abdominal hernias and rotting teeth requiring urgent care. Thanks to the rescue’s swift efforts, Tina and Mina are finally on the road to recovery. 

Urgent Care For Tina and Mina

Although Tina and Mina were saved by the rescue, they still had a long way to go in terms of medical care and treatments. Both required hernia surgeries, spaying, dental appointments with X-rays, extensive bloodwork, and heartworm tests.

They also needed professional grooming to address painful matting and overgrown nails. Just a day after arriving at the rescue, the Poms began their journey toward a more comfortable, pain-free life with a much-needed grooming session.

Tina’s Breathing Struggles

A week later, Tina began experiencing breathing difficulties and was rushed to the emergency room. She was placed in an oxygen chamber, which alone cost $5,200, and remained in the hospital for three days.

After stabilizing, Tina returned to the rescue’s ranch. Her total hospital bill exceeded $10,000. Thanks to generous donations, part of the debt has been covered, but the rescue still faces a shortfall of $4,419.

In a recent social media update, the rescue shared that Tina is doing well and is currently on medication. However, they urgently need help to pay off Tina’s vet bills and continue caring for other dogs in need. Every donation, big or small, makes a life-saving difference. To donate, you can go to this link. 

“Seeing Tina and Mina’s transformation is a testament to the power of compassion and resilience. These little Poms have endured so much, but with the right care and love, their future looks bright. It’s amazing what a rescue can do with the help of a caring community.” — Rocky Kanaka, Pet Rescue Advocate

What is a Collapsed Trachea in Dogs?

Tina suffered from a collapsing trachea but do you know what is trachea collapse in dogs? 

According to a veterinarian at WebMD, Dr. Vanessa Farmer, “The trachea is a flexible tube with sturdy c-shaped rings of cartilage. These cartilages keep the trachea open for air to get in and out of the lungs. Tracheal collapse is a progressive respiratory condition that occurs when these tracheal rings of cartilage collapse.” 

Tracheal collapse can cause breathing problems in dogs as the windpipe collapses, leading to a harsh, dry cough. In most cases, the exact cause of tracheal collapse in dogs remains unknown. However, it’s believed to be a congenital disorder, meaning dogs are born with it.

Your dog with a collapsed trachea may produce a distinctive dry, goose-like honking cough, often described as the characteristic sound of a collapsed trachea in dogs. This sound occurs when air pushes through the collapsing cartilage rings. 

Symptoms of Collapsed Trachea in Dogs

Dr. Farmer provides the following signs of collapsed trachea in dogs:

• Breathing issues
• Coughing triggered by lifting or applying pressure to the neck
• Vomiting, gagging, or retching along with coughing
• Cyanotic episodes or bluish mucous membranes
• Wheezing

The cough caused by tracheal collapse has distinct characteristics. Typically, it is non-productive, meaning it does not produce phlegm. Additionally, this cough is usually not accompanied by a fever, which can help differentiate it from other respiratory conditions.

Dr. Jennifer Coates warns, “If your dog has blue-tinged gums, trouble breathing, or has fainted, contact your veterinarian immediately.” 

Causes of Tracheal Collapse in Dogs

No single cause explains all cases of tracheal collapse in dogs. However, a congenital weakness of the tracheal cartilage is thought to play a significant role.

Several factors can contribute to tracheal collapse, including:

• Obesity, which puts pressure on the trachea
• Airway irritants like air fresheners or smoke 
• Recent anesthesia
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Heart enlargement, which can press on the trachea

While any dog can develop tracheal collapse, small breed dogs are more at risk, particularly Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu, and Toy Poodles.

Tracheal collapse is most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged or older dogs, but it can also occur in younger dogs.

Treatment for Collapsed Trachea in Dogs

A Reddit user, u/matchaandmilk, shared that their Chihuahua has a collapsed trachea and sought advice from other pet owners on effective medical management. To this, another user, u/accessoreads, replied with, “I have my Pom on hydrocodone and theophylline, they won’t cure it of course but they make him more comfortable.” 

As per Dr. Farmer, most dogs with tracheal collapse can be effectively managed with a combination of medications and preventative care measures. These measures include weight loss to lower pressure on the trachea, using a harness instead of a collar for walks, and avoiding airway irritants for reducing inflammation and irritation.

Medication for Collapsed Trachea in Dogs

Most dogs diagnosed with collapsing trachea are treated with medications. The medicines for collapsed trachea in dogs may include cough suppressants, anti-inflammatory meds, bronchodilators, sedatives, and antibiotics. Medical management can be effective in up to 70% of dogs, but it’s typically needed for the dog’s lifetime. 

Surgical Options

If medical management cannot control symptoms, surgical options may be considered. A veterinary surgeon may recommend placing rings on the outside of the trachea or a stent inside the trachea to prevent collapse. Surgical complications are common, so surgery is usually reserved for severe cases.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for collapsed trachea in dogs. Despite the intervention, the tracheal cartilage can continue to deteriorate. Dog parents must continue with recommended treatments and closely monitor the dog’s condition. If symptoms worsen, consult with a veterinarian for advice.

Meet 5 Adorable Pomchis From Instagram

Because they are mixed-breed dogs, every Pomchi is unique. Just watch these puppies as they grow up—each one is different! Some are red, some are cream, and some come in dark or multiple colors! Let’s meet a handful of super cute Pomchis so you can see how much variety there is in this mix. 

1. Lottie

Lottie is an adorable little light-brown Pomchi who takes after her Pomeranian parent everywhere but the face where you can see her Chihuahua heritage clear as day. 

2. Yoshi

Yoshi is a solid black Pomchi with the cutest little face and gorgeous silky fur!

3. Spyro

Spyro is a Pomchi from Amsterdam who inherited his coloring from his Chihuahua side but has the curly tail and coat of a Pomeranian. 

4. Cleopatra

Cleo is a lovely little cream-colored Pomchi from Wales who loves to play outside and spend time with the human kids in her family!

5. Tilly

Pomchi Basic Info

Pomchis are Chihuahua Pomeranian mixes also called Chi-Poms, Pomahuahuas, or Chimeranians. Pomeranians and Chihuahuas are similar in size but differ vastly in breed origins. 

Chihuahuas are the descendants of an ancient breed called the Techichi originating in modern-day Mexico, though some theorize they may have been brought to Mexico by Spanish conquistadors. Mostly kept as beloved companion animals, ancient Chihuahuas may have been so revered that they would be sacrificed following their owner’s death to help guide them through the afterlife. 

Pomeranians are descendants of Arctic sled dogs and are the smallest Spitz group member. Once used as sled dogs and guard dogs, the first Pomeranains were larger dogs than the modern Pom, which was bred down in size over many decades. Pomeranians were popularized thanks to British royalty, who took a liking to the breed and began keeping it. This also encouraged breeders to produce even smaller dogs to create the Pom we recognize today. 

By considering the features of both of the Pomchi’s parent breeds we can make some educated generalizations about Pomchis. With mixed-breed dogs, it’s important to remember that there are no breed standards and many outliers whose physical and temperament features will differ from the “baseline” expected of this mix. 

Pomchi Temperament

@meganhannah0 What its like to have a Pomchi #pomchi #chiahuahua #pomeranian #dogs ♬ The Lion Sleeps Tonight – Vittorio Fraja

Pomchis are small dogs with big personalities! Pomchis are curious and intelligent little dogs who are simultaneously attentive and mischievous. Gentle and affectionate with their humans, Pomeranian Chihuahua mixes may be wary of strangers and will face perceived threats with fearless focus. Sometimes territorial of their homes and families, Pomchis are deeply devoted to their humans. 

“My Pomchi is super loving and affectionate. Needs walked a lot because they are full of energy,” says a Reddit comment from a Pomchi owner describing their pup’s personality. “He never growls or bites and he loves kids. Nice to my cats and his best friend is a Border Collie. He is the sweetest most loving dog I’ve ever had.” 

Social and adventurous, Pomchis do best when socialized early and given lots of exposure to different situations. Some Pomchis can be prone to anxiety, particularly separation anxiety since they develop such deep bonds with their families. Because they are energetic and playful, giving your Pomchi proper exercise and mental stimulation is key. Don’t assume that being small makes Pomchis low-maintenance—small dogs are still dogs!

Pomchi Size

A Pomchi full-grown stands around 5–9 inches at the shoulder and weighs around 4–8 pounds. Remember that very few Pomchis are a pure mix of Chihuahua and Pomeranian—most have additional breed parentage which can impact the adult size of a full-grown Pomchi. 

Pomchi Health

Pomchis are prone to several common health problems in Pomerians, Chihuahuas, and other small dog breeds. The most common is dental disease, which can be mitigated or prevented with regular dental care. Brushing your Pomchi’s teeth regularly can make a big difference, help you avoid tooth extractions, and keep your Pomchi happy and healthy. 

• Dental disease
• Joint issues (e.g. patellar luxation, hip dysplasia)*
• Eye and vision issues (e.g. glaucoma, cataracts) 
• Alopecia
• Tracheal collapse
• Congestive heart failure
• Seizure disorders

*Small dogs like the Pomchi can benefit from stairs and other mobility aids preventing them from jumping on and off of furniture. Particularly as small dogs age they run a higher risk of joint issues like luxating patella—by preventing small injuries from an early age by preventing jumping, you can help your small dog stay healthy later in life. 

Where To Find Pomchi Puppies For Sale

Finding reputable breeders of designer dogs (deliberately bred mixed breeds) like the Pomchi is virtually impossible. Most of these dogs are produced by backyard breeders and puppy mills, so it is best to avoid trying to buy Pomchi puppy when you can choose to adopt instead. Pomchis are relatively common in shelters and animal rescues since Chihuahuas and Pomeranians are often kept together and are similar in size. 

If you are determined to buy a puppy from a breeder, please choose a reputable purebred Pomeranian puppy or Chihuahua puppy and not a mix. 

If a Pomchi is your dream dog, visit your local shelter! You might be surprised by how many options you have, and you could find your dream dog. You can also search for a Pomchi at breed-specific rescues for Pomeranians and Chihuahuas.

Merling Gene Controversy Explained

The gene responsible for producing a merle coat in dogs is a semi-dominant gene that a pup only needs to inherit one copy of to be merle. Dogs inherit copies of their genes from each of their parents, so only one parent needs to be a carrier of the merling gene to produce a merle puppy. A single merling gene on its own doesn’t cause health issues and simply affects coat and eye coloring, producing the beautiful mottled coloring that gives merle dogs their signature look. 

So, why would merle breeding be controversial? 

If a puppy inherits two copies of the semi-dominant merle gene, they run the risk of being born with serious congenital health complications. Luckily, ethical breeders can easily prevent merle-to-merle breeding with proper genetic testing. However, some people believe that including the merling gene at all is unethical due to the risk of double merling. 

Double Merle Dog Health Issues

A double merle dog is a dog who has inherited two merling genes. This occurs when irresponsible breeders either neglect to do proper genetic testing or purposefully breed merle to merle in naive hopes of increasing their chances of producing merle puppies. Double merle dogs are often born completely white and may suffer from partial or total vision and hearing loss. 

Hearing issues in double-merle dogs are caused by the loss of pigment to the hair in the inner ear, but otherwise, their ears form normally. Unfortunately, some double-merle dogs are not only vision impaired or blind but do not have fully formed eyes which may even need to be surgically removed. 

Blue Merle Pomeranian Basic Info

Merle describes a solid base color dappled with splotches of darker colors in the same color family—for example, blue merle is patches of black on a gray base coat color. Blue merle is the only merle color allowed or accepted by the American Kennel Club, but other merle colors do exist. A sought-after color variation for the Pomeranian, blue merle is so sought after that dog lovers will happily shell out $4,000+ for a blue merle Pomeranian puppy. 

But, other than being beautiful, what are blue merle Pomeranians like? Does their personality match their adorable fluffy outside? Do they make good family dogs? Are Pomeranians easy to train? Let’s dive in!

Blue Merle Pomeranian Temperament

Pomeranians are cheerful, confident, curious, playful little dogs with big personalities that often dominate in groups of other dogs, and prefer leading the pack to following. Brave and bold, Pomeranians may be watchful and protective of their families but are also incredibly affectionate and social. 

Sometimes feisty, Pomeranians are quick to correct other dogs and are typically more human-oriented than dog-oriented—in other words, they would rather spend time with you than play at the dog park. With their humans, Pomeranians can be bossy, and will strictly enforce household rules and schedules. Some can also be opinionated and picky, and many Pomeranian owners complain that their dogs will refuse to eat certain foods. 

“I’ve had 2 Poms and both were/are busybodies—definitely will bark at every noise. Both were lapdogs, very much glued to me and a “one-owner” type of dog. Both are grazers, too, so I leave food out all day. I love Poms because they are very intelligent, can be stubborn, and they ‘talk’ by growling. They’re so expressive and unlike any [other dog] breed.”

Reddit user’s comment

Intelligent and active, Pomeranians need moderate levels of exercise but can become restless and “naughty” if not given enough mental stimulation. Many Pomeranians love to bark, and their owners need to find outlets for this excitement. In some cases, Poms may pretend not to hear their owners, or wilfully ignore commands—this makes Poms hard to train in comparison to other breeds. 

Though some may love children, Pomeranians are not recommended for families with small children. 

Blue Merle Pomeranian Size

The Pomeranian is a toy breed like the Chihuahua and the Maltese, and well-bred examples are often quite small. A full-grown blue merle Pomeranian stands at only 6–7 inches tall at the shoulders and weighs around 3–7 pounds. 

Blue Merle Pomeranian Health

The only health condition related to coat color that could appear in your blue merle Pomeranian if it is responsibly bred is color dilution alopecia. This condition causes hair thinning, skin irritation, and flakiness, but it is not life-threatening and is caused by the dilute gene responsible for blue, not the merle gene. Pomeranians, regardless of color, are also prone to a similar condition called alopecia X, which also causes hair loss and skin irritation, so hair loss is something to keep an eye on if you own a blue merle Pom.  

Some other health issues to be aware of if you own a Pomeranian include: 

• Joint issues (e.g. luxating patellas, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease)
• Eye and vision issues (e.g. cataracts) 
• Tracheal collapse
• Hypoglycemia 
• Hypothyroidism 
• Cushing’s syndrome
• Epilepsy and seizures
• Congestive heart failure

Where To Find a Blue Merle Pomeranian for Sale

Before settling on a puppy, it’s very important to find someone who breeds merle Pomeranians ethically. Ethical breeders conduct extensive genetic testing before settling on mating pairs and always have the welfare of their dogs in mind. Likewise, ethical and responsible breeders screen the people purchasing their dogs, and would never sell to pet stores, or approve a buyer without a full interview process.

To find reputable Pomeranian breeders, check out the American Kennel Club’s breeder marketplace and the American Pomeranian Club’s list of breeders registered with the club. 

Did you know you can also adopt Pomeranians? Check your local rescues to see if any Poms in your area need a home, or work with a breed-specific rescue to give an adoptable Pom a new forever family.

How long do blue merle Pomeranians live? 

The average lifespan for a Pomeranian is 12–16 years. 

Do Pomeranians shed? 

Yes. Pomeranians are moderate shedders that blow their coats twice a year. To keep your Pomeranian looking and feeling their best, daily brushing is highly recommended in addition to regular trips to the groomer. 

Are chocolate merle Pomeranians AKC approved? 

No. The American Kennel Club does not recognize chocolate merle as an official color, but there are still Pomeranian breeders producing healthy chocolate merles for pet owners who aren’t interested in bringing their pups to dog shows. Here are two examples of what a chocolate merle Pom looks like.

What causes blue fur in Pomeranians? 

Blue fur is caused by a dilution gene that lightens red (brown) or black pigment. When the gene is used to dilute black, the pigment lightens to a steely blue-gray color which the dog world just calls “blue.” The dilute black gene affects not only fur, but skin pigment too, and blue Pomeranians will also have a blue nose and paw pads. 

Take a quick look at a side-by-side comparison of a solid-black Pomeranian (left) and a solid-blue Pomeranian (right) to get a better idea of how the dilution gene works. Be sure to look at the difference in the color of their noses!

Understanding Pomeranian Alopecia

Alopecia in Pomeranians, often referred to as “black skin disease Pomeranian” or simply “Pomeranian hair loss,” is a condition where the dog’s hair follicles stop producing hair. This can result in a Pomeranian with no hair or a Pomeranian without hair in certain areas. The condition can be distressing for owners, especially when they’re left wondering, “why is my Pomeranian losing hair?”

“I noticed patches of hair missing from my Pom’s coat. It was heartbreaking to see my Pomeranian losing hair. I had no idea about Pomeranian alopecia until then.”

Robin, Pomeranian pet parent

Causes of Hair Loss in Pomeranians

There are several reasons why a pomeranian might experience hair loss:

1. Puppy Uglies: Pomeranian puppies often go through a phase called “puppy uglies” where they shed their puppy coat in favor of an adult coat. This is a natural process and not a cause for concern.
2. Shaving a Pomeranian: Post clipping alopecia can occur if a pomeranian’s coat is shaved too short. This can damage the hair follicles and prevent hair regrowth.
3. Health Issues: Hormone imbalances, immune system disorders, and other health issues can lead to hair loss in this dog breed.
4. Black Skin Disease: This skin condition causes the dog’s skin to turn black and lose hair. It’s one of the most common causes of alopecia in pomeranians.

“After shaving my Pomeranian during summer, I noticed she wasn’t growing her fur back. It was a lesson learned about the dangers of shaving a Pomeranian.”

Robin, a Pomeranian parent

What Are The Treatment Options For Pomeranian Alopecia?

Pomeranian alopecia treatment varies based on the cause. For conditions like black skin disease in pomeranians, treatments might include hormone therapies, special shampoos, and dietary changes to promote hair regrowth and coat health. It’s essential to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best pomeranian hair loss treatment for your pet.

“I tried various treatments for my Pomeranian’s alopecia, It was a long journey, but with the right care, I saw improvement in her coat health.”

One of the primary natural approaches to treating Pomeranian alopecia is through diet. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can promote skin health and hair growth. Foods like fish, flaxseed, and walnuts are excellent sources. Additionally, ensuring your Pomeranian gets enough protein, vitamins, and minerals can also support coat health.

2. Topical Treatments

Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is renowned for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. When applied to the affected areas, it not only soothes the skin but may also promote hair growth. Many Pomeranian owners have reported positive results with regular application.

Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Applying aloe vera gel can help reduce skin inflammation and potentially stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth.

Medicated Shampoos: According to a Reddit post, some Pomeranian owners have tried using Dermagic shampoos to treat alopecia. While results vary, medicated shampoos can help manage skin hydration and appearance. This Pomeranian owner said hair started growing back slowly in 1-2 months then at about 4-5 months it started growing back quickly.

3. Herbal Supplements:

Horsetail and Nettle: These herbs are believed to promote hair growth. They can be given as supplements or applied topically in the form of oils or ointments. While anecdotal evidence suggests their efficacy, scientific studies are limited.

Omega-3 Fish Oil: Daily omega-3 fish oil supplements can be beneficial. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to promote skin and hair health.

Melatonin: A study from NCBI mentioned a trial with 29 dogs with Alopecia X treated with melatonin doses between 3 and 6 mg/kg, every 12 hours for 4 months. While melatonin is more commonly associated with sleep regulation, it has shown promise in promoting hair growth in some dogs.

4. Regular Grooming:

Gentle brushing can stimulate blood flow to the skin, promoting hair growth. However, it’s essential to be gentle and avoid causing any further damage to the already sensitive skin.

A Reddit user mentioned using Espree medicated oatmeal and aloe shampoo combined with 15-in-1 multivitamins. “After battling alopecia for two years, this combination led to the re-emergence of fur.

5. Pharmaceutical Interventions:

Melatonin: One of the most common treatments for Pomeranian alopecia is melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles in mammals. When given to dogs, it has been found to stimulate hair growth in some cases. However, the exact mechanism remains unclear. It’s available as an over-the-counter supplement. Most Pomeranian owners give about 5 mg per day but it’s crucial to consult with a veterinarian for the correct dosage.

Hormonal Therapies: Since Pomeranian alopecia is believed to be linked to hormonal imbalances, certain hormonal treatments can be effective. For instance, spaying or neutering can sometimes help, especially if the alopecia is related to a hormonal imbalance.

Growth Hormone Therapy: Some veterinarians recommend growth hormone therapy for Pomeranians with alopecia. However, this treatment is not without its side effects and should be considered after weighing the pros and cons.

Topical Minoxidil: While more commonly associated with human hair loss treatments, minoxidil can also be used for dogs. However, its efficacy in treating Pomeranian alopecia is still under study, and it’s essential to ensure the dog doesn’t ingest any amount of the product.

Antibiotics and Antifungals: If the alopecia is due to a secondary bacterial or fungal infection, a course of antibiotics or antifungals can help in treating the condition.

Steroids: In cases where the alopecia is due to an inflammatory condition, steroids can be prescribed to reduce inflammation and promote hair growth. However, long-term use can have side effects.

Understanding the Pomeranian Coat

The Pomeranian’s unique double coat is what makes that breed so iconic. The coat consists of two layers:

1. The Undercoat: A dense, soft layer that provides insulation.
2. The Outer Coat: A longer, coarser layer that protects against environmental elements.

This double coat is nature’s way of protecting the Pomeranian from both cold and heat. But what happens when we interfere with nature?

The Case Against Shaving

1. Disruption of Natural Insulation: Shaving can disrupt the Pomeranian’s natural insulation system, making them susceptible to temperature fluctuations.

“The undercoat of a pom should almost NEVER be shaved! Only exception is when the dog is crudded right down to the skin with matting, poop, pee, and other debris,” said a Pomeranian owner on reddit.

2. Post Clipping Alopecia: A potential side effect of shaving, this condition can lead to uneven hair regrowth, with some areas remaining bald or hairless for extended periods.

A 22-year breeder of show Pomeranians, u/miss-alane-eous, shared their extensive experience on Reddit, stating, “Double coated breeds have a 3-year growth cycle… IF you shave your dog the growth back will be patchy depending on the time of year you shave.” They further explained that if a Pomeranian’s coat doesn’t grow back after shaving, the likely cause is Alopecia X, a genetic condition.

3. Skin Health Risks: Without their protective fur, Pomeranians are more exposed to the sun, leading to sunburn risks. Their skin can also become dry and irritated.

When Shaving is the Only Option

Severe Matting: Mats can cause discomfort, skin irritation, and infections. In extreme cases, shaving might be the only way to address this issue.

The owner of the Pomeranian shown in the photo above said that it took about 6 months for the fur to grow back, although this is not the case for many Poms whose coat does not grow back evenly or at all.

Despite the risks, there are situations where shaving might be necessary:

Step-by-Step Guide to Shaving a Pomeranian

If you find yourself in a situation where shaving is the only option, it’s crucial to do it right. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Consult a Professional: Before making any decisions, consult with a professional groomer or veterinarian. They can offer guidance tailored to your dog’s specific needs.

2. Choose the Right Tools: Invest in a high-quality dog clipper. Ensure the blades are sharp and clean.

3. Prepare Your Pomeranian: Bathe your dog using a gentle dog shampoo. Ensure the coat is entirely free of mats. Dry thoroughly.

4. Start Clipping: Begin at the neck and move down the body. Be gentle and ensure you don’t clip too close to the skin to avoid cuts.

5. Post-Shave Care: Apply a gentle dog moisturizer to prevent skin dryness. Ensure your Pomeranian stays out of direct sunlight to avoid sunburn.

The decision to shave a Pomeranian is not one to be taken lightly. While there are valid reasons to shave, it’s essential to be aware of the potential risks and challenges. Regular grooming and understanding the intricacies of the Pomeranian’s coat can ensure your furry friend remains comfortable, healthy, and as majestic as ever.

The Unseen Pain Beneath the Fluff

At first glance, Monty might seem like any other adorable Pomeranian. However, a closer look reveals the painful reality hidden beneath his fluffy coat. The dense matting, combined with foxtails embedded in his fur, indicated that Monty had been in this painful state for a prolonged period.

The Challenge of Grooming

Matting is not just an aesthetic issue; it can cause severe discomfort and even health problems if not addressed promptly. For Monty, the mats were so tight that they were pulling at his skin, causing him immense pain. The grooming process was challenging, as bathing him without first detangling would only make the mats tighten, akin to sponges soaking up water.

Mel, the groomer, spent over an hour trying to brush out as much of the matting as possible. However, Monty’s stress levels were rising, and it became evident that a complete shave down was inevitable.

The Aftermath of Neglect

Further examination revealed more about Monty’s past. An abscess, likely caused by one of the foxtails, needed immediate attention. Plus, signs of a collar that had been left on him for an extended period, and was far too tight, hinted at the neglect he had endured.

The Road to Recovery

While Monty’s grooming session was a step in the right direction, his journey to recovery was far from over. He required additional veterinary care to address the physical scars left by his neglect. However, with time, love, and care, Monty began to heal.

A Happy Ending

Two weeks after his initial rescue, Monty’s transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Not only did he recover physically, but he also found a loving home where he could live his best life. His story serves as a testament to the resilience of animals and the difference a little love and care can make.

Monty’s story is a poignant reminder of the responsibility we hold towards our furry friends. It’s essential to ensure that they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve.

Pomapoo dogs are a mixed designer breed produced by crossing a Pomeranian and a Toy Poodle. Pomeranians are confident, curious, social dogs who love their humans above all else. Toy Poodles are intelligent, attentive, and playful, and especially adept as therapy animals, emotional support animals, and service dogs. The combination of these two breeds produces a cheerful, outgoing, affectionate mix with incredibly good looks—as you’ll see in a moment. 

Some Poodle mixes don’t make a lot of sense, and it would be better to just get a Poodle instead. In the case of Pomapoos, the personality traits of their two parent breeds are relatively compatible, and most examples of this mix are happy and free from serious behavioral issues. 

Get ready—we’re diving deep into the world of Pomapoos, and these dogs are so cute you might not be able to stand it! 

Get To Know 6 Pomapoos From Instagram

Like most mixed-breed dogs, Pomapoos come in lots of shapes, sizes, and colors. Some Pomapoos are truly pocket-sized, while others are a bit larger and more muscular. Across the board, Pomapoos are adorable, fluffy, and curious. These little dogs have a lot of personality and confidence, and thanks to their good looks, are also pretty darn photogenic. 

Let’s take a look at a variety of Pomapoos, from teeny tiny Pote to super fluffy Kiwi! 

1. Pote

Pote is a tiny little Pomapoo from Japan whose name means “fluffy,” and Pote definitely lives up to the name! Still just a pup, Pote will grow a little more, but he’ll always be a tiny dog. This sweet little pup is already a great traveler and loves to be carried in a bag and brought everywhere with his humans. 

2. Ramune

Another sweet Poodle Pomeranian mix from Japan, Ramune is a one-year-old Pomapoo with a passion for food! Always underfoot when breakfast, lunch, or dinner are being prepared, Ramune is always game for a snack or to try something new. When he’s not enjoying a tasty treat, Ramune can be found playing with his toys, romping with other pups, or modeling an adorable hat. 

3. Peanut

Oh, biiiiig yawn! This adorable little sweetheart is Peanut, an extra-small Pomapoo whose parents were a mini Pomeranian and a toy Poodle. A little over a year old, Peanut is a spunky little guy who is always on the hunt for mischief. Smart, cheerful, and attentive, Peanut also likes to spend time doing tricks and being spoiled by his humans. 

4. Minnie

Did you know that Pomapoos come in more than just white, cream, and red? There are chocolate brown Pomapoos, gray and silver Pomapoos, and black Pomapoos like Minnie! Both Pomeranians and Poodles come in solid black, so it’s not difficult to breed a black Pomapoo. 

Minnie is a one-year-old Pomapoo from Runcorn, England, and has quite the reputation around the house as a sock eater. Minnie’s humans recently had a baby, so she has been learning how to be a big sister and is already a natural!

5. Kiwi

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, and that’s not a sentient ball of fluff you’re looking at, that’s Kiwi, a Pomapoo from Vilnius, Lithuania! Kiwi is a super-smart little puffball who loves to do tricks, learn new things, and go to new places. Just look at the eye contact Kiwi is giving the person behind the camera!

6. Stitch

Have you ever seen a dog looking more blissful in the sunshine than this little Pomapoo? Meet Stitch from Kent, England, a sweet silver Pomapoo who is always by his humans’ side whether they’re at home on the couch, at a restaurant, on a hike, or traveling. Stitch is always game to go somewhere new, and loves meeting new people and dogs whenever he’s out on the town. 

Pomapoo Basic Info

Pretty irresistible, aren’t they? Pomapoos really are some of the cutest designer mixed breeds, but you can’t decide to get a dog just because it’s cute. Here, we’re covering some of the technical and logistic details of owning a Pomapoo, and discussing just what it’s like having one of these sweet little dogs in your home. 

Pomapoo Temperament

Pomapoos are sweet, friendly dogs known for developing deep bonds with their humans. In many ways an ideal companion dog, Pomapoos enjoy sitting in laps, going for walks, and playing shadow to their people. Easily socialized if their dog owners introduce them to a wide variety of people and dogs from a young age, Pomapoos are often outgoing and adventurous as a result. 

Highly intelligent, Pomapoos do well when given a “job” and enjoy following commands, playing games, and running errands with their humans. While Pomapoos can be great family dogs, their small stature can make them physically vulnerable, especially to small children. If you decide to bring a Pomapoo into a home with young kids, it’s a good idea to set clear boundaries with them to ensure they don’t accidentally hurt your new pup. 

Pomapoo Size

Pomapoos are exceptionally small dogs, and often weigh so little you can carry them in one hand. A Pomapoo full grown will typically be between 8–10 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 5–15 pounds. 

Pomapoo Health

Neither Pomeranians nor Toy Poodles are known for developing serious health issues, but as with all dog breeds, there are a few conditions to be aware of. Here are a few issues to look out for if you own a Pomapoo:

• Luxating patellas
• Eye problems (e.g. cataracts, distichiasis)
• Collapsed trachea and reverse sneezing
• Epilepsy
• Cushing’s disease
• Addison’s disease
• Hair loss

Where To Find Pomapoo Puppies

If you’re interested in bringing a Pomapoo into your home, the best place to start your search is by visiting your local animal shelter. Because Pomapoos are mixed-breed dogs, it’s not a good idea to buy them from breeders, since many are backyard breeders or puppy mills not following proper health or wellness protocols for their puppies or parent dogs. 

There are tons of Poodle mixes—including Pomapoos—available for adoption around the U.S., and if you can’t find one at your local shelter, you’re sure to find one on Petfinder or through a breed-specific rescue. Here are a few rescues specializing in Pomeranians, Poodles, and mixes of these breeds.

• American Pomeranian Club
• Displaced Pets Rescue
• IDOG Rescue 
• Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation
• Recycled Pomeranians
• Second Chance Poms
