About the Schip-a-pom
The Schip-a-pom is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Pomeranian and the Schipperke. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Schip-a-pom is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Description
Most have the face of a Chow Chow and the tail of a Pomeranian. They have a long body with short legs.
Character

This breed requires proper socialization from birth to prevent behavior problems when older.
General Health
Their teeth need to be cleaned regularly. Be sure not to over feed as this breed gains weight rapidly.
Maintenance
Their long, shaggy hair needs to be brushed a few times a week. Some owners choose to shave their dogs, especially during the summer months. Although saving a double coated dog might cause future growth problems that include spotty growth or changed color.
Ideal Environment
The Schip-a-Pom is not well suited to hot, humid climates due to its long thick coat. If provided shade and water, this breed will excel in southern climates. The thick coat prevents water saturation and is easily toweled dry when wet.
