Personality: The Pomapoochi is said to have a high level of intelligence along with being responsive and playful. They typically have very outgoing personalities but sociability with strangers will depend upon the personality of the individual dog.

Grooming: The amount of grooming required will mainly depend on the length of your Pomapoochi's fur.
