How big does a pomeranian/papillon mix grow to be?
I have seen pictures and i am considering getting one i was told my dog had to be small because my family already has many big dogs. I’m NOT asking how big a Papillon or Pomeranian individually are i mean a mix of both. they seemed pretty big in the pictures so i’m thinking it’s a bad idea because i need a smaller dog.I need to know if its the same size as a Papillon or Pomeranian or if its much bigger like it appears. thanks
it would be a small dog..around 5 to 7 pounds.

It will be the same size as those dogs or somewhere in between. However, many mixed breed dogs like this are sold by backyard breeders and come from dogs that do not meet breed standards. I would suggest buying either a pom or a pap from a reputable breeder (with references)… not a mix of both if you want to be SURE of the size. However, a mix of the two dogs, IF they are about the size these dogs should be, won’t be larger than the parent dogs (normally).

There is no way to know what size a mix will be & depends on the sizes of both parents & lineage. It could be smaller than the average pap or pom or twice as large. If you need a specific sized dog, adopt a older puppy or adult dog so you know exactly what you are getting. Many of the smaller sized breeds are much larger than their breed standard due to poor & over breeding which intentionally breeding for a mix ensures it is not from a reputable breeder.

A mutt can have any combination of traits from either parent. You can’t predict what the dog will turn out like.
Why not just get a purebred papillon or a purebred pomeranian?
No reputable breeder would breed mutts, and it’s pretty hard to be that particular when you’re looking to adopt from a shelter.

Lets see…
A pomeranian is usually 3-7 lbs as an adult
A papillion is usually 7-10 lbs
So a mix would probably be around 5-10 lbs, which is small.
I suggest looking at dogs in rescues/shelters, there are lots of small dogs, and you would be able to see in person if they’re the right size.

Well I don’t know what pictures you’ve seen, but both Papilions and Pomeranians are very small, and they’re both around the same size.
An adult Pomeranian is around 5.0-11 inches, or 13-28 centimetres. So maybe around that size.

A Pomeranian is a "toy" size. A Papillon is a medium size. (think about cocker spaniel size). A lot depends on the breeding, if the stud and bitch are smaller in size. Also, if you get the runt. The fur of a Pomeranian makes them look bigger than they really are, and Papillons tend to be on the smaller side of spaniels, so I would imagine they would tend to be on the smaller side, but certainly not anything like a Chiahuahua.
Wow, this sounds like a really weird combination. Genetics work with dogs the same they work in people.

My list of books hasn’t changed from the last time you did a question like this, so I won’t re-post it.
