When people think of small dogs, they usually think of Chihuahuas, perhaps riding around in Paris Hilton’s purse, or maybe even terriers yipping away. However, what many people cannot remember is the friendly, fluffy presence of the Pomeranian. Pomeranians have become a popular lap dog to own due to their cuteness and holdability. If you are not a fan of Pomeranians but still like small dogs, perhaps you would be interested in Pomeranian mixed breeds.
Pomeranian mixed breeds come in about as many varieties as there are breeds of dog. Each Pomeranian mixed breed comes with their unique looks and personality, while still keeping the cute and fluffy nature of the pure Pomeranian. Adopting a Pomeranian Mixed Breed will give you an energetic, surprisingly effective guard dog. No matter which Pomeranian mixed breed you get, you will be in for a treat.
If your interest in these fluffy mixes has been piqued, read on. We will cover the traits that all mixes share,and the characteristics and quirks that set them apart. Whether you are a curious bypasser or a prospective Pomeranian mix owner, the info we cover below will be invaluable to you.
Things that Pomeranian Mixed Breeds Share
At risk of stating the obvious, all Pomeranian mixed breeds have Pomeranian traits. What this means is that they all will share the fluffiness (some to the furball extent of a plain Pomeranian, others on a more toned-down scale), the high energy, and the proclivity for barking of their pure-bred ancestors.
Another important, and noticeable, characteristic all Pomeranian mixed breeds share is their small size. This makes the great lap dogs or pets for those with limited living space.
Ways to Decide the Mix that is Best for You
The best way to choose the Pomeranian mix most suited for you and your family is to gather as much information in that mix as you can. No one mix is perfect for everyone. Even though all the mixes have common characteristics, they each have unique traits that set them apart.
When choosing a Pomeranian mix, consider your income, living space, time available to spend with your pet, and family dynamics, and how each mixed breed will fare in your specific conditions.
The three things you should consider the most is the money you have available to put towards their care, the time you have each day away from work and other commitments to bond with them, and the people and other pets you have in your family and how each part will interact together.
