Care
Grooming
Your Pomachons grooming routine will depend on the type of coat they have. Long-haired Pomachons need to be brushed or combed regularly to prevent tangles and mats from developing in their fur. Medium-haired Pomachons require only occasional brushing. Short-haired Pomachons require little maintenance, but they can still benefit from regular brushing to remove dirt and debris from their coats.
The first step in keeping your Pomachons coat healthy is to brush it regularly. All breeds of dogs should be brushed at least once a week, but this frequency should increase for long-haired Pomachons because they tend to shed more hair than short-haired Pomachons do.
Brushing your dog's coat on a daily basis may not be practical, but you should at least brush your dog every other day to prevent tangles and mats from forming in their fur.
Bathing them is a regular grooming process that should be done every 4 to 6 weeks with a special shampoo made especially for dogs.
If the pup is kept in a small area with little to no exercise, the nails can grow too long. Nails should be trimmed once every few weeks. If you don’t have time for that, a quick schedule for the groomers should do the trick.
Exercise Needs
The Pomachons are small dogs, but this doesn't mean they can't handle some exercise. They love to run and play, so if you have a yard, it's best to keep them in it. If you don't, then they should still get their daily walk, which should only be about 30 minutes long.
Pomachon dogs also love to play, so if you have children at home, this would be a great dog for them to play with. Their spirit for adventure makes them the perfect buddy for exploring unknown territories.
They love to run and play and will happily do so all day long if allowed by their owners. They are fans of puzzle games and activities that include running or agility.
Health
Their hybrid vigor gives them an advantage over purebreds when it comes to overall health. The Pomachons are not prone to the same ailments as their purebred parent breeds and are known to live longer healthier lives.
They are generally healthy dogs with few health problems. However, as with all breeds, there are some overall issues that can occur in Pomachons.
Like other breeds, Pomachons can suffer from allergies that cause skin irritation and itchiness. These can be treated with an antihistamine medication or allergy shots if necessary.
Dogs can develop periodontal disease if they don't get proper dental care on a regular basis. This bacteria causes inflammation in the gums which leads to infection, pain, and tooth loss if left untreated.
Ear infections in dogs are very common because they spend a lot of time outdoors and in dusty environments. Ear infections can be difficult to treat, so it is important to get them checked out as soon as possible.
Lifespan
The average lifespan of a Pomachon is 12 to 15 years, but with good care and nourishment, they can live to even more than this. They are very intelligent pups and will respond well to the right amount of exercise.
Training
You can train your Pomachon to do many things, such as sit, stay, come, and heel. With proper training and lots of patience, you can have a well-behaved dog that is safe to be around people.
Training your Pomachon will help you better understand what they want and need. The better you understand them, the easier it will be for both of you to get along. It also gives them something constructive to do with their time instead of getting into trouble or barking at everything that moves by the window.
The first thing you need when training your Pomachon is patience. This breed tends to be stubborn and independent at times. They don't always respond well to commands right away or immediately see the point in doing what's asked of them.
Training should start when your puppy is about 8 weeks old so that they can learn some basic commands such as "sit" and "stay". Never pressure your puppy into performing a command you are not happy with, nor should you punish them for not doing something they aren't ready for. If a dog is afraid or aggressive, it will be hard to train them properly. As your puppy gets to about 12 weeks old, introduce toys into training to make the process more enjoyable for them.
Socialization is important because it will help your puppy learn how to deal with other dogs and people. This will also help prevent some of the behavioral problems associated with socializing later in life.
