For Dog Only

The Pomeranian is a toy-sized member of the German Spitz family of dogs. Some relatives of the Pomeranian include the Samoyed, Keeshond, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Norwegian Elkhound, Finnish Spitz, Chow Chow and American Eskimo.

The Pomeranian had ancestors who were used by the Nordic peoples, traction sled dogs and reindeer husbandry. Of course, these ancestors were much larger than our present Pomerania.

Today's Pomeranian is well suited for the city and suburban homes. They are alert and very intelligent, very active little dogs, which are easy to train. Many Pomeranians successfully compete in obedience, agility, tracking and centrifugal.

You will not see a 3 to 7 pound Pomeranian pulling a sled in Iceland or herding reindeer. That would definitely be an event spectacular, but it is doubtful the little Pomeranians of today are hired to do work like this. The Pomeranians we know today have indoor jobs as therapy dogs. They make excellent therapy dogs while visiting the sick and elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. It's my personal opinion is that ministers should take along a Pom while making their rounds visiting the sick and elderly in hospitals and nursing homes.

The Pomeranian is a toy dog compact, short-backed with a layer soft and dense and a profuse harsh-textured outer coat. He has a large tail feathers at the top that has his back. The Pomeranian looks kind of "arrogant" commanding, and animated as he moves around.

The average size of the Pomeranian is from 3 to 7 pounds. The American Pomeranian Club does not like the Pomeranian to be referred to as "glass water "or" toy. "ideal weight for a sample of spectacle is 4 to 6 pounds, although the American Pomeranian Club says little Pomeranian breed that often overweight, and any dog over the limits is highly objectionable. The Pomeranian is medium-boned and when examined feels strong. It has an interesting aspect of the tail feathers, which is a characteristic of his race. Pomeranian's eyes are also of interest as almond-shaped, dark, bright and medium in size.

The Pomeranian bit has a vivacious spirit about him making him a very competitive dog. He is an extrovert in personality.

The Pomeranian is most likely raised in what is now Germany and Poland. When the Pomeranian was first noticed in Britain in the mid-19th century, some specimens are said to be weighing up to 30 pounds and resembled the German Wolf Spitz in size, coat and color. These dogs were 30 pounds most likely the sled dogs.

A Pomeranian named "Marco" was sent from Florence, Italy's Queen Victoria. Marco became the beloved pet of Queen Victoria. Since the Queen was a popular monarch, the popularity race grew. Queen Victoria is known for advocating the trend toward the other Pomeranians.

The small size Pomeranian with its docile temperament and vivacious spirit helps to make this little dog an ideal and entertaining companion.

The colors and patterns of the Pomeranian are many. Among the colors are black and tan - tan or rust sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat, and both in the chest, legs and all underneath your feet and tail. The richer the tan is more desirable. Brindle - the base color is gold, red or orange striped tabby with a heavy tackle. Parti-color is white with any other color distributed in patches with a white blaze preferred on the head. Classes open for special exhibitions can be divided by color as follows: Open Red, orange, cream, and Sable, Open Black, Brown, and blue; Open any other color, pattern, or variation.

The larger size Pomeranian, once pulled sleds in Iceland surely worked hard for their masters. Today, our little 6 pounds Pomeranians are happily making more professional positions such as dogs therapy to the sick and the elderly. He is an ideal companion for the adult, and do not recommend it for children.
