Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Moderate

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate

The Chihuahua rates low and the Pomeranian moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to moderate

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Chihuahua is usually described as charming, graceful, sassy. The Pomeranian as inquisitive, bold, lively. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
