The Pomchi is a cross between the Pomeranian and the Chihuahua. Playful, affectionate, and energetic, these little pups inherit some of the best qualities of both their parents.

Pomchis have several names, including Pomahuahua, Chimeranian, Chi-Pom, and Pom-Chi.

History

The Pomchi dog breed may have existed naturally over the years, but it wasn't until the late 1990s or early 2000s that breeders began intentionally crossing Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, probably in North America.

Once other designer breeds started popping up, breeders probably decided to mix the two parent breeds to produce a small, cute companion dog. They continued to produce Pomchis as demand for the pup grew.

Personality

The Pomchi may be small in stature, but their personality is anything but. Many Pomchi enthusiasts report that their pups have a lot of energy and spunk, and they love to be the center of attention. Even though these dogs have a lot of energy, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy a good cuddle session with their owner.
