Pomapoo (Poodle × Pomeranian) Traits

1. Origin & History

The Pomapoo mixes two classic European breeds: the Poodle—once bred to retrieve waterfowl thanks to its swimming skills and insulating curly coat—and the Pomeranian, a small sled-pulling dog from the Pomerania region (modern-day PolandGermany). Breeders in the U.S. and Europe first experimented with Pomapoos in the early 2000s to create a pint-sized, highly intelligent companion that sheds less.

Key milestones:

2005: First documented Pomapoo in the U.S.

2010–2015: Popularity surged as reputable breeders began DNA testing for health and consistency.
