Pomchi Activity Requirements
The Pug-Chihuahua hybrid, known as a Pug-Chi or “Pomchi,” is a relatively new designer dog. They were first bred in the 1990s, but have gained in popularity in recent years. The small size of the Pomchi makes them a good choice for apartment living. While the breed is more active than many small breeds, their short legs prevent them from doing too much running or jumping. They do, however, love a good game of fetch or a walk. The small size of the Pomchi means they don’t require as much activity as larger breeds, but they do need regular exercise. A daily walk or game will keep them healthy and happy.
