What is a Pomchi?

The Pomchi, also called the "Chiranian" is a cross between the Pomeranian and the Chihuahua. They are small dogs, weighing 2 - 7 pounds, with a height of about 6 - 12 inches.

They have a medium-long, fluffy coat, which may be white, fawn, beige, chestnut, orange, red or black in color. The coat needs to be brushed daily and bathed occasionally.

Chiranians are energetic, intelligent and loyal; they like to be close to their owners. They usually get along with older children, but don't do as well with other pets. They should also be socialized to accept strangers.

Pom-Chihuahua mixes do best with gentle, consistent training, and need to exercise in a small yard, or go on daily walks.

Average life expectancy is about 15 years.
