If you're looking for a pup with a huge personality shoved in a tiny frame, a Pomeranian mix is a great place to start. Pomeranians are known for their sass, but they're also super smart, loyal, and adorable companions. If you're lucky, your hybrid could inherit the Poms' hard-to-resist smiley face, the perfect match to her happy-go-lucky personality.

But before adopting your Pom mix, it's important to research breeders carefully and avoid puppy mills who don't put the puppies' health and safety first. A reputable breeding program will test for known health issues in both dog parents, mitigating the risks so the hybrid puppies live a full and happy life. And since a Pom can be your BFF for up to 16 years, you'll want to make sure she's as healthy as she can be.
Like any dog breed, Pomeranian mixes are susceptible to a handful of health conditions. According to the American Pomeranian Club, Poms are especially susceptible to epilepsy and eye problems like cataracts. Because of their small size, you'll want to watch out for luxating patella, which can impede their movement. Lastly, like all toy dog breeds, Pom mixes are prone to teeth and gum problems, meaning dental care should be a top priority.

The Pomchi, which is also known by other names like Chipom, Pomahuahua, and Chiranian, is a tiny yet powerful hybrid of a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua. When they're at home, Pomchies are often seen snuggling with their humans or showing off tricks. But these pups are naturally on the nervous side, often suffering with separation anxiety when left alone and needing extra patience when meeting new people or children.
