The Pomeranian is a dog that looks like it belongs in the lap of luxury.
The dog's foxy little face and expressive eyes give this little spitz a look of
intelligence and slyness. Its ears are small and pointy, resting high on the head.
The dog's body is small and squarely proportioned, and its plumed tail is noticeably
curved along its back, giving the dog a rather elegant appearance. The Pomeranian's
coat is said to be its glory, though in fact is more accurate to say the dog has two
coats: one is soft, fluffy, and thick while the other is long and coarse. The dog's
coat can be of any color or pattern, though a fox red is probably the most popular color.
The cocky little Pomeranian has an unquenchable love for life, and carries itself with apparent
disregard for its size. While the Pom is unquestionably a Toy breed, there is clear evidence of
his larger spitz cousins in this little dog?s demeanor. Ever ready to explore and play, the Pomeranian
can keep a child or active adult happily entertained for hours; however, be warned that the dog?s small
size makes it an inappropriate playmate for very small children, who might accidentally cause the dog harm.
The Pomeranian may be reserved toward other dogs and strangers, and will bark incessantly at an unannounced
knock at the door or anything that gives it a start. Properly trained the Pom can be quite the little watchdog,
though if left to its own devices, the dog will bark at just about anything. Pomeranians are not known for being
the most affectionate of dogs, and may at times seem much more interested in themselves than anyone else in the
house. Like in any breed, however, there is a distribution of personalities, and some Poms have been known to
show unsurpassed levels of affection and devotion.
Pomeranians do not require very much exercise, and a short daily walk should be enough to keep your dog happy
and healthy. It is very important to brush the coat weekly to keep it free from mats and looking beautiful.
The usual ear and nail care is recommended, along with the occasional bath; however, take care not to bathe
them too frequently because their skin is sensitive and can damage easily. Pomeranians tend to shed quite a bit;
the males only shed once a year while the females shed after birthing a litter, while in heat and when they are stressed.
These dogs are known to develop dental problems so it?s a good idea to keep them clean and, ideally, brushed daily.
The most serious health problem seen in this breed is patellar luxation. Lesser concerns include progressive retinal
atrophy, entropion, hypoglycemia and open fontanel.
