As a cross between peppy Poodles and bright Pomeranians, Pomapoos are a smart, friendly breed that craves being around people 24/7. The specifics of their personality and looks will vary because of their mixed background, but you can count on these little pups to be cuddly companions no matter what. Full-grown, they typically weigh 5-15 pounds and stand 8-10 inches tall.

Pomapoos are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Pomapoos get along very well with kids, but young children should be supervised around them to make sure the dogs are treated with respect. This breed is friendly with strangers and will happily live with other dogs and cats. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

The Pomapoo needs an average amount of exercise each day to stay fit and happy. They are content either playing indoors or taking some time for a walk or playtime outside. They’re also smart and catch on quickly, so they can learn the ropes of training or new activities with ease. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

The Pomapoo’s coat can be straight, curly, or anywhere in between and can also vary from short to medium length. These pups come in a variety of colors, including black, white, and brown, which is most common. Like the Poodle, they don’t shed much and should only need to be brushed regularly to maintain their mane. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance.

Pomapoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Because they’re so small, Pomapoos are perfectly happy with apartment life, but regardless of the setting, they need to live indoors and be around people. They are fairly easy to train.

The little Yorkshire Terrier thinks they're Great Danes, and like most terriers, are bold, brave, and independent. They are very intelligent and  develop deep bonds with their owners. Full-grown, they typically weigh 4-7 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall.

Yorkshire Terriers are generally excellent with children of all ages. Because of their diminutive stature, Yorkies are well-suited to apartment life, but households with young children are not recommended unless carefully supervised. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

The Yorkshire Terrier can have most of their exercise needs met through indoor play, but they prefer a daily walk or romp in a fenced-in yard. They don't need much exercise, so don't wear your Yorkie out too much, but they will need to play with their families throughout the day. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

Yorkies' coats can be a bit high maintenance, especially for those with the long, silky coat. Long coats require professional maintenance, including adding oil and wrapping the coats in rice or tissue paper, along with weekly washings. The Yorkshire Terrier has no undercoat, and they do shed a small amount. Grooming-wise, this breed is high-maintenance. Yorkshire Terriers are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
