A Little Bit About The Pomeranian

This is dog is occasionally referred to as the Miniature Spitz dog or European Spitz. In its native land of Germany it is the smallest member of the German Spitz group. The Pomeranian is also sometimes called the German Spitz in Germany.



In Germany the Pomeranian was bred to its present size in Pomeranian during the nineteenth century. Its ancestors were of the Spitz type and larger. Among the Pomeranian's ancestors are the Samoyed, Norwegian Elkhound, Chow Chow and other northern European breeds. It is possible that the Pomeranian was reduced in size from the large white sled dog that originated in Iceland and Lapland. Exact time of origin is unknown. Queen Victoria of England took a great liking to the Pomeranian and helped to increase its popularity in her palace in 1888.



Other Spitz types were used as herding dogs and sled pullers. The Pomeranian, however, has always been a lapdog. It came to America in the late nineteenth century and was shown in the miscellaneous class in 1892 by the AKC. American Kennel Club recognized the Pomeranian officially in 1900. Since that time he has become quite popular as a pampered little pet.



Personality



The Pomeranian is sometimes a little too courageous for its own good. He serves well as an alarm dog, but its barking sometimes becomes a habit that needs to be discouraged. The Pomeranian has one primary purpose and that is to please its owners. It sometimes shies away from children that play too rough. The Pomeranian may not be a good choice for a household with children or as a child's pet. They socialize easily with cats and other small family pets.



The Pomeranian is definitely one of those big dogs in a little package. They usually won't back down from a much larger dog. This aggressiveness can be self-destructive as obviously a bigger dog could make mince meat of a tiny Pomeranian.



The Pomeranian is eager to learn and is devoted to its family. He is affectionate and has a very loving nature toward its own family. He is delightful and is always ready for a quick game with those he loves.



The Pomeranian responds to command if they are consistently given and he is rewarded with edible treats or kind words. The Pomeranian has a tendency to become somewhat of a "spoiled brat." When his bad habits surface he may simply ignore commands to "act better." He is rarely seen in agility trials; however, the Pomeranian does well in obedience trials.



Appearance



A Pomeranian stands about 7 to 8 inches tall and weighs from 3 to 7 pounds. The tiny Pomeranian has a short body, straight legs and well-balanced overall appearance. He has erect ears and a fox like expression that gives this little dog an alert expression. Pigmentation of the nose, lips and eyelids are always dark, usually black.



The Pomeranian's coat is double and profuse. Acceptable colors are red, orange, cream and sable, black, brown and blue.



Grooming the Pomeranian



The coat of a Pomeranian is made up of an undercoat and an outer coat. The undercoat is soft and fluffy. The outer coat is fairly long, straight and harsh and covers the entire body.



There is an abundance of coat around the neck and the fore part of the shoulders and chest that forms a frill that extends over the shoulder. The forequarters are well feathered and the thighs and hind legs are well feathered to the hocks.



The Pomeranian requires regular attention to keep it clean and attractive. Thorough brushing once a week is required to keep the coat in good condition.



You will need a slicker/pin brush, medium-tooth metal comb, scissors and cotton buds.



Brush against the lie of the coat to give the Pomeranian its round pompom appearance. Brush first with the slicker/pin brush working from the top of the head, layering the hair as you go and be sure you reach the skin level. Then work through the coat with the comb to remove any tangles left behind from the brushing.



You might consider using a dry bath on your Pomeranian's coat when in full coat. When the Pomeranian is in full coat, use a suitable pH-alkaline-balanced shampoo and rinse well.

Akc Pomeranian Q&A

I am looking for an AKC reg.male Pomeranian in the Houston area to breed my female with. Do you know anyone?

My female will be coming up on her second heat and we just found out our male has an inverted testicle and they can breed but will never produce any puppies. I need to find a male to breed my girl with and then here in about 8 months our other baby will be ready to breed. They have to be AKC regitered with papers.
Yes ...I know what I am getting into. We come from a long line of breeders.I did it several years ago and had to give it up due to several tragedies in my life. I am looking for a male that has been tested for Brucellosis because my female has. The male should also have the same temperament and physical traits that my girl has. And for my little boy...he has had the one testicle removed and I was told he can still sire puppies with one testicle but the odds aren't good . We(family) are totally commited to our pets.

okay- i read that first response and my answer disagrees.

check your local paper for someone who is selling pups and contact them and see if they have or know of a stud.

it is true that breeding is a big responsibilty butstay in touch with your vet so you can safely learn as you go.
