Peek-A-Pom

The Peek-a-pom was created by crossing the Pekingese and the Pomeranian. These designer dogs are not as popular as many of the other crosses, but with all their charming characteristics, they are no less cute than other toy dogs. They are sturdy, small in size, with erect ears, button eyes, blackish muzzle and a fluffy tail. Their well-proportioned body is covered with a dense coat. These dogs can easily be kept in an apartment.

Temperament and Behavior
The highly energetic peek-a-poms are well-suited for homes having older and well-mannered children rather than the young or boisterous ones who might end up hurting the small dog.
They also share an amicable rapport with dogs and other pets of their household.
Wary of strangers they would raise an alarm if anyone unfamiliar gets too close to it.
With an inherent fondness and affection for their family members, extended periods of loneliness might make them destructive and yappy.
Care
Exercise
Take your peekapom out for a securely leashed walk every day. Other than their fondness to play with its family members indoors, they would also enjoy an off-lead running time inside a fenced yard.
Grooming
The Peekapom’s double coat needs grooming every other day to prevent shedding and tangling. At home, these dogs themselves are very clean. Dry shampooing your dog instead of frequent bathing will suffice. Dental hygiene is crucial to prevent early tooth loss.
Health Problems
These canines may be prone to issues like luxating patella, hypoglycemia, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and eye problems.
Training
Housebreaking: Continue taking your dog out to the same place to eliminate at least four times a day while it is between 2 and 4 months of age.
Separation Anxiety: To get your pup accustomed to the limits and boundaries of its environment, do not stay next to it all the time, instead, allow it to entertain itself with toys, which you can change from time to time.
Socialization: Rather than forcing introductions, ask your visitors to approach slowly for helping your dog get some time to feel secure to display acceptable behavior.
Diet/Feeding
½ to 1 cup of dry dog food is recommended.
Dog #12 is me – she is a very good girl!
My pekapom, hughs and puffs all the time like it is to hot – even inside the house. What causes this?
Hi!
Since your dog is a cross between the Pomeranian and Pekingese, which are both brachycephalic breeds with short skulls and pushed-in faces, it may have difficulty in breathing. As it has short muzzles, its normal breathing patterns will not be similar to dogs with long muzzles. If you notice an abnormal panting or a louder, harsher sound during respiration, take your peekapom to the vet and have it checked out.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS BECAUSE OF THEIR SHORT SNOUT
