A Pomeranian Chihuahua cross, often called a Pomchi or Chiranian, is a happy and affectionate dog with a strong sense of loyalty to its family. Grooming a Pomeranian Chihuahua varies, depending whether the dog has a long or short coat. Maintaining a natural look for your Pomeranian Chihuahua by trimming the fur is a grooming ritual that should be done regularly to keep knots and snarls at bay.
Brush your dog, removing any tangles or knots gently. By brushing your dog prior to cutting the fur, you will ensure a smooth, natural look. If you have a Pomeranian Chihuahua with a long coat, be sure to brush the undercoat until smooth. This can be done by brushing the fur against its natural direction of growth, or brushing the fur toward the dog's head.
Trim excess fur with thinning shears. There may be excess fur around the collar, ears, eyes and tail of the dog. Thinning shears are also used to trim excess fur in warm summer months, and to maintain a smooth, groomed coat between brushings. Trim a small amount of fur, then step back and examine your work, or else you risk cutting too much fur from your dog.
Trim the area of the anus and feet with scissors. Trimming around the anus will allow the dog to stay neater and cleaner, and trimming the feet will keep the dog from tripping or getting excess dirt and debris on its legs.
Tips
- Brushing your Pomeranian Chihuahua two or three times per week will keep mats and tangles at bay.
- Point the end of the thinning shears and scissors away from your dog's skin to avoid accidentally poking the dog.
Warning
- Use caution when working with scissors around your dog.
