Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Pomeranian Papillon Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Pomeranian Papillon Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 7–9 inches at the shoulder, against 6–7 in for the Pomeranian and 8–11 in for the Papillon.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.
The Pomeranian rates moderate and the Papillon very high; a puppy may lean either way.
Brush a couple of times a week.
Temperament
The Pomeranian is usually described as inquisitive, bold, lively. The Papillon as friendly, alert, happy. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
