Pounds. The dark band is where most Pomeranian French Bulldog Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 8–10 inches at the shoulder, against 6–7 in for the Pomeranian and 11–13 in for the French Bulldog. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding
High

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 Pomeranian rates moderate and the French Bulldog 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 Pomeranian is usually described as inquisitive, bold, lively. The French Bulldog as adaptable, playful, smart. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
