It is a cross between a pomeranian and poodle. Did you have a good experience? How easy was it to train the puppy? How much did you pay? What does it look more like grown-pomeranian or poodle? What is the upkeep on the dogs coat-easy or hard to groom? Do they shed or smell alot? Do you have yours around children or other animals? About how big is it full grown? I have found some local for sale but I am just wanting to get some real advice. Thank You.

Actually these breeds are considered to be hybird dogs and have many benefits that standard breeds don't. Such as they have less genetic defects and illnesses. Also they are recongnized by many organizations including the AKC. Plus, the breeder is selling for a very resonable price. So please no comments unless you have actually purchased one of these puppies.

I have a male Pomapoo called Sergeant Margie who is about 4 years old. He was a gift to me right after the death of my mom (Margie). He looks more poodle than Pom and seems to have an extra heavy coat which requires a lot of brushing and trimming to keep it from getting matted. He doesn't shed much at all and doesn't "smell". He's good with other animals (including cats) and all sorts of people. He's one of the best dogs I've ever had. If I could get another one like him, I'd love it.

That heavily depends on each mix--no two mutts are the same. Remember, that the dogs may or may not have a poodle coat, or be "hypoallergenic". Do tons of research on BOTH breeds, and you'll get a general idea of what to expect. And encourage your friends to neuter the male now, and the female as soon as possible. Also, make sure to enroll in a training class as soon as possible. Pomeranians (and sometimes Poodles) have a reputation for being a little nippy and yappy--so train it out before it begins. Good luck! And please--dont pay any more than an adoption fee (no more than $100 for these dogs).

I know that you don't want an answer from someone that hasn't bought this breed of dog, however, the AKC DOES NOT recognize these dogs, they are mixes. Hybrids are not healthier than regular dogs, that is a ploy to get people to buy them. You have just mixed two totally different genetic pools with two different sets of issues. That does not mean that you get a healthier dog, you have in fact added to the problems possibly. The size of the dog full grown will depend ont he parents. What size poodle? Toy, mini, standard. Is the pom a properly sized pom? Coats can also vary. I would not pay good money for a dog like this. It is a rip off. You can find something at your local shelter that is a lovely mix of some sort and its worth the same amount of money.

A Pomeranian/Poodle mix is a MUTT. An irresponsible person put those 2 dogs together in an attempt to make lots of money off of people thinking it is cute and fluffy or even an actual breed.
Get a puppy from someone that isn't just after your MONEY.
#1 - These are NOT hybrids. Crossing a zebra and a horse is a hybrid.
#2 - They do not have less genetic defects. If you start out with 2 poor examples of a breed, breed them, you will have mutts with issues.
#3 - AKC (American Kennel Club) does not and will NEVER recognize these crosses. There are new MADE UP organizations that accept them--solely to drive up mutt breeder profits by claiming their dogs are "registered".
#4 - "Reasonable price" should not be a reason to buy a pet--these are lifetime commitments. The toaster on sale at Target is a reasonable price--the puppy for sale is not.
Most mutt breeders will lead you to think that these mutts are "hybrids" and have less issues than purebreds. This is not true--do some research and you will find out.
Pay a little extra money for a purebred dog (that is bred WELL and tested, not just 2 dogs of the same breed put together) or find a "reasonably priced" one at the shelter.
Since these are mutts and there is no standard for mutts, what you get is going to be a guessing game.

AKC does not recognize any mix breeds, especially none of these newer hybrids developed within the last 10 years or so.
If you decide on getting one of these and you want to make sure you have a healthy one free of genetic defects, you need to ask the breeder to give you proof that they checked their breeding dogs clear of any health problems that their breeds can get., such as elbow, eye, and hip problems.
Good Luck !

In reference to your added detail about this mutt/mix being recognized by the AKC....whoever told you that LIED....they are NOT a recognized "breed" by any reputable registry.
Whoever told you that they are genetically healthier than a purebred dog LIED....yes, some people breed "poor" purebred dogs, but any reputable breeder is doing it to IMPROVE the overall health, temperment, and look of the breed.
None of them look the same, act the same, or are completely healthy. Real advice? STAY AWAY from them and whoever is breeding them...you will have nothing but heartache and a big dent in your bank account. If you don't believe me, go to AKC.org and type in "pomapoo" and they will tell you no such thing.

If she isn't willing or able to care for them until at least 8 weeks, (12 would be better with this size dogs) than you take the mother and the entire litter until they are that age. Puppies need to nurse and having a dam around is he best thing for them, hand raising takes experience and it is very time consuming you will not get any sleep for 3 weeks at least. Plus they will be very likely to develop temperament disorders if they leave their litter mates to early.
