The Pomeranian Terrier Mix breed is a highly popular designer dog. It is characterized by long, short hair, a short muzzle, and an upright, square face.
The eyes are usually blue, hazel, or silver in color. The tail is naturally curly at the same time. The legs look like they have been stretched out and the face looks like it has been carved.
How To Choose A Pomeranian Terrier Mix
Most poms are the offspring of Pomeranians and long-haired breeds. They have been bred for over 200 years to create some of the most beautiful dogs and puppies around.
These dogs were originally bred as hunters. However, in the past few decades, they have been bred as pets.
Owners have loved these animals for their cute looks, beautiful coats, gentle temperaments, and energy.
Creating the Pomeranian Terrier Mix: A Look at Crossbreeding Practices
Their pedigrees often come from Belgian Malinois, Golden Retriever, or even the English Toy and Miniature Schnauzer.
There are different crosses between these dogs that produce Poms that can measure up to ten inches in height at the shoulder.
However, the actual record of these Poms being in existence is not that much since the crossbreeding took place so many years ago.
However, Pomeranian terrier mixes are commonly known to be eight to ten inches in height at the shoulder and between ten to fifteen inches in the chest.
Most of these mixed breed Poms have been bred to be the smaller version of their parent breeds. Because of this, they are sometimes referred to as miniature pups.
Some of these miniature pups can weigh only two pounds at the very most, while others can weigh as much as five pounds at the most.
What to Know Before Adopting a Pomeranian Mix: Essential Facts
These dogs were never intended to be purebred because they were crossbred between different breeds. They were originally bred to have a shorter coat. The American Kennel Club (AKC) created a list of breeds that were best suited for working and had shorter coats. The AKC has not expanded this list of breeds.
In fact, there is one type of Pomeranian called the “bichon frise” which actually carries its genetic material from three different breeds – the British Bull Terrier, the Norwich Terrier, and the Pomeranian. You can find mixes between these three breeds almost every time.
However, the British Bull Terrier mix may not contain the correct gene combinations needed for the breed to thrive. And the Norwich Terrier mix may not have enough fennel or brindle hairs to produce the desired effect.
So how do you tell if a Pomeranian mix is the right dog for you?
There are several ways to tell. First, consider the personality traits shared by the mix. Is it more active than other Pomeranian breeds? Are the owners’ personalities compatible with each other? Are both owners highly devoted to their pets?
While it can be difficult to judge a mixed breed, these dogs can still prove to be loving and affectionate pets. They may just need some extra love, training, and attention. If the owner shows these characteristics, then he or she may be a good candidate for a Pomeranian mix.
The American Cocker Spaniel mix is an outstanding choice for a Pomeranian dog. These dogs love daily walks and are very eager to please. They are calm, smart, and affectionate. They may be a bit on the heavy side, but they still look like miniature bulls.
Versatile Pomeranian Terrier Mix: Perfect for Various Activities
However, they are not suited for all lifestyles. They can become destructive when bored, and they can get over-excited when placed in a situation that makes them feel nervous.
Due to their lack of proper exercise needs and their high energy levels, these dogs cannot stand the thought of being alone for long periods of time, especially when they are still pups.
Lhasa Apso is the third most popular Pomeranian mix out there. This breed is extremely intelligent, happy, sensitive, and loyal.
Many consider Lhasa to be a mix between a Poodle and a Beagle. They have a sweet temper and a friendly, loving nature.
They do need daily walks and also require socialization to make them more comfortable around other people and animals.
