Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Moderate

Havanese has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

Moderate

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

Trainability

High

The Pomeranian rates moderate and the Havanese high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

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