How big do Pomerats get?

Pomerats typically weigh 6-15 pounds and stand 8-12 inches tall. Size depends on whether the Rat Terrier parent is standard or miniature.

Are Pomerats good apartment dogs?

Pomerats can be good apartment dogs if given adequate exercise. They may bark at noises, so early training helps manage alert barking in apartments.

Do Pomerats get along with other pets?

Pomerats can get along with other dogs but may chase small animals due to the Rat Terrier's prey drive. They're not recommended for homes with hamsters, birds, or rabbits.

Are Pomerats easy to train?

Pomerats are intelligent but can be stubborn. They respond well to positive reinforcement and short, engaging training sessions. Food motivation helps.

Do Pomerats bark a lot?

Pomerats can be vocal, inheriting the Pomeranian's tendency to bark. Early training helps manage excessive barking, but some alerting is normal.
