The Pomeranian is an adorable and bold toy breed that has become a favorite choice for dog lovers interested in a small companion that enjoys lounging on their laps, soaking up affection, and being their owner’s little shadow.

This practice, known as designer dog breeding, has risen in popularity over the last few decades and has birthed hundreds of new and improved mixes for families to consider.  We encourage all potential dog owners to make sure they adopt before they shop, as you can find many different mutts at your local rescue (including Pomeranian Mixes).

The Pomeranian brings tons of spunk and cuteness to any hybrid. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on 20 Pomeranian mixes that might make the perfect companion for you and your family. Let’s take a look.

Pomeranian Mixes

Pomeranians are some of the most popular small-breed dogs in the United States.  Their fluffy coats are rabbit fur soft, making them practically impossible to resist petting when you come close to one.  Because of their beautiful coats and smaller stature, they have become an extremely popular crossbreed parent to mix with other purebred dogs.

As mentioned earlier, shelters are often a wonderful place to search for and find a Pomeranian mix.  Sometimes the breeding of two purebreds happens unintentionally, causing them to be unwanted and end up in shelters.  There are also some exceedingly rare Pomeranian mixes, which you’ll specifically have to go to a breeder to buy. They can get almost as expensive as purebreds, but many are highly sought after.  Let’s jump in and look at 20 of the most popular crossbreeds you’ll come across.

If you are not certain of your dog’s genetic makeup, you can use an at-home DNA test kit to find out.


Bichonaranian: Bichon Frise Pomeranian Mix

Bichonaranian

The Bichonaranian is an intelligent and devoted companion pup. This small dog will require frequent grooming, as both parent breeds have fairly high-maintenance coats. Generally, your Bichonaranian will adopt features from both parent breeds, but it is entirely up to chance which will dominate.

The Bichonaranian does well in apartment and house settings, making them adaptable companions for all sorts of living situations. They are very devoted and enjoy the company of their owner, preferably while relaxing on their lap or playing a game. It is important to monitor a Bichonaranian’s food intake and exercise, as this breed can easily become overweight.


Cavapom: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Pomeranian Mix

Cavapom

The Cavapom is an affectionate hybrid resulting from breeding a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Pomeranian. They are playful and loving with moderate energy levels. This little dog is big on intelligence and personality. They are easily trained with positive reinforcement and are bound to keep you smiling with their joyful and friendly disposition.

Due to their small size and fragile bone structure, the Cavapom should not be left unsupervised with small children who may accidentally play too rough. They have a prey drive for other small creatures and birds and therefore should not be allowed to roam off-leash. The Cavapom is a very adaptable pup and adjusts well to apartment setups as long as they are given plenty of attention and affection.


Cockeranian: English Cocker Spaniel Pomeranian Mix

Cockeranian

This mix between two very popular dogs, the English Cocker Spaniel and the Pomeranian, is sure to produce a wonderfully agreeable pup. The Cockeranian, otherwise known as a Cocker-Pom, is not lacking in good looks. This small to medium-sized breed will likely sport the double coat of a Pomeranian with the ears of a cocker spaniel. Their coat requires quite a bit of effort to maintain, which should be considered by any potential adopter.

The Cockeranian is equal parts energetic playmate and devoted lapdog. This means you get the best of both worlds with this breed. They are quite vocal and can develop improper barking habits if not socialized and trained properly. The good news is that this breed is very trainable, eager to please, and exceptionally loving.


Dameranian: Dachshund Pomeranian Mix

Dameranian

The Dachshund is popularly used in designer dog breeding, so, of course, we have a Dachshund and Pomeranian hybrid on this list known as the Dameranian. This hybrid is also known as a Pom-Dach and a Pomaweenie. The latter came about due to the Dachshund’s affectionately used nickname: the Wiener dog. This small to medium-sized pup is extremely cuddly and will most likely bond intensely with a single person. This should be considered if you’re looking to adopt a Dameranian as a pet for the whole family.

The Dameranian will generally have an outgoing and friendly disposition. They get along well with other people and animals. However, they can be a bit territorial at times. They are prone to barking and can become distressed if left alone for long periods of time. It’s an amazing experience to develop a close bond with an animal, which is likely to happen with the Dameranian. You should still introduce a Domeranian to other people and stimuli to help make sure they remain well-adjusted.


French Pomerdog: French Bulldog Pomeranian Mix

French Pomerdog

The French Pomerdog is a mix between a French Bulldog and a Pomeranian. This hybrid is tiny, low-maintenance, and an ideal choice for dog lovers who live in apartments. The French Pomerdog does not need a lot of room and can thrive with limited space. Generally, their coats will shed heavily, especially if they inherit their Pom parent’s dense and fluffy coat.

Both parent breeds are known for being incredibly loyal companions. They are generally agreeable with a happy disposition, but they can sometimes show a feisty side. This mix may have the desire to dominate and can easily suffer from “small dog syndrome.” Just because this mix is small and adorable does not mean they should not be provided with boundaries and regular training. Given the proper structure, this little pup will thrive.


Jackaranian: Jack Russell Terrier Pomeranian Mix

Jackaranian

Meet the Jack Pom, Pom-A-Jack or Jackaranian.This spunky pup is a mix between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pomeranian. They are considered a small breed, will most likely mature at 6 to 14 pounds, and have a thick, double coat. Known for being devoted and alert, this hybrid may also have a tendency to bark.

Taking after the Jack Russell parent breed, the Jackaranian is very active and playful. They love to be stimulated and entertained. Most especially, they enjoy being close to their family. Because of this, we do not recommend this breed to frequent travelers or those with very demanding schedules. While this breed is likely to get along well with all family members, regardless of age or species, they may be wary of strangers and should be socialized often.


La Pom: Lhasa Apso Pomeranian Mix

LaPom

The La Pom is a smart and eager mix between a Lhasa Apso and Pomeranian. These tiny dogs generally weigh between 7 and 15 pounds. Due to their high intelligence and eagerness to please, the La Pom is a very trainable breed, succeeding in agility and obedience. They are likely to sport a double coat which will require frequent grooming to keep it healthy and maintained.

The La Pom has a laid-back demeanor, and while they enjoy playing, they are most content when snuggling up with their humans. Long periods of separation can be particularly distressing to this mix. Any potential adopter should be committed to making their La Pom a part of the family and showering them with lots of attention.


Maltipom: Maltese Pomeranian Mix

Maltipom

The Malitpom is mixed with two beloved toy breeds: the Maltese and Pomeranian. With both parent breeds’ tendency to bark, you will likely not have a quiet pup on your hands. You will also have a very gentle, sweet, devoted companion. This alert canine will be small in stature, but don’t tell them this. In their mind, size has no impact on their courage. This bravery should be monitored around larger dogs. They are very alert and can serve as excellent watchdogs.

We do not recommend placing a Maltipom in a home with young children, as they are very fragile and can become easily distressed if handled roughly. The Maltipom is also likely to be suspicious of strangers and defensive of their family, but socialization from a young age can help.

The PapiPom is a spunky lap dog that is mixed with a Papillon and Pomeranian. They will be small and fine-boned. However, it’s difficult to say which parent they will resemble more.

Known for being very gentle and curious, the PapiPom also loves to be the center of attention and thrives when they are consistently included in family activities. This mix is moderately easy to train. They can be a bit stubborn and easily develop “small dog syndrome.” If they are provided with firm but kind and consistent training, they will flourish into a well-behaved and faithful companion.

Peekapom

A Peek-A-Pom, also known as a Pominese, is a mix between a Pekingese and a Pomeranian. This breed can be more independent than others on this list. While they aren’t considered difficult to train, this bold trait can make them a bit stubborn and requires patient and consistent training.

The Peek-A-Pom is very low maintenance, both with grooming and exercise requirements. They require very little activity to be well adjusted, and their coat is considered hypoallergenic – great news for those with allergies. The Peek-A-Pom is a very small dog. Due to their tiny frame, they may not be a suitable companion for young children but make a wonderfully affectionate and loyal companion for older kids and adult-only families.


Pom-A-Nauze: Schnauzer Pomeranian Mix

This lively mix is known as a Scheranian, Pomanauzer, and Schnauzeranian. For our purposes, we will call this Mini Schnauzer and Pomeranian mix the Pom-A-Nauze. This tiny pup weighs between 3 to 15 pounds, but that does not mean they have a small personality.

They are known for being affectionate and social and make the perfect addition to adult-only families. Because of their small stature and fragile bodies, we don’t recommend this little breed for families with young children. Although, older children who have been taught how to handle small animals gently can make excellent companions for the Pom-A-Nauze.

This mix is known for its intelligence, devotion, and big personality. Like many other mixes on this list, the Pom-A-Pug can be wary of strangers but gets along well with all family members. Pomeranians can be quite independent, and it’s possible this mix will also exhibit some stubbornness. Overall, the Pom-A-Pug is a wonderfully affectionate companion dog.


Pomapoo: Miniature Poodle Pomeranian Mix

Therefore, this pup is likely to be a small breed. This sweet dog is known for their genial, outgoing nature, making them an excellent family dog that does well with children.

The Pompoo is a confident breed that will surely put a smile on your face as they prance about the house. They are bound to look quite regal with a beautiful, thick fluffy coat. This mix is very eager to please and will be easily trainable. They can be shy and, therefore, a bit fearful of strangers.

Pomchi

This Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix can be recognized by a few different names: Chi-Pom, Chiapom, or Pomchi. They are lively and happy pups and can be quite spirited.

They are known for being excellent watchdogs. This is because they can be wary of strangers and aren’t afraid to sound the alarm. The Poshie is a very intelligent dog.

You should also be sure to properly train a Yoranian and provide them with boundaries, so they don’t become spoiled and dominant. In general, they are an extremely loving and devoted companion. If they take after their Yorkie parent, expect a pup that likes to bark. They can also come in smaller packages if bred with a Miniature Yorkie.

    1. I lost my 12 year old shit zu poodle to a leg tumor I desperately need a replace ment. A Pomeranian mix would be great

  1. Hello, thanks for info about Pom mixes. We have had two Pom Japanese chin mixes. These dogs are lively. No barking, black and white color, small under 10 pounds. Are Pom Japanese Chin mix popular? Any other info on this mix? We had a very hard time finding our new pup.
    Thanks Sherrie

  2. I own a pomeranian/kelpie. He is light brown in colour with a black nose. Some black in the fur of his ears and tail. His mum was a pure bred red pomeranian with a black nose. His dad a tan colour. He has pomeranian features but has speed of kelpie. He is about 11 or 12 inches tall. He also had dachshund cross sisters and brothers as the owners had the female pomeranian and a male dachshund and a tan male kelpie. The male kelpie was tan so he was the dad of my puppy dog and the dachshund was multi coloured. So that is why I call him Charlie Chocolate, as I thought of Charlie from the Chocolate Factory 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
