COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER
PETS
The Pomeranian has a friendly disposition
but as with any new family pet, should be introduced carefully to any
other resident companion animals.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Your Pomeranian will be a member of your
family for many years to come, so take great care in selecting exactly the
right dog for your family.

CARE REQUIREMENTS
The double coat of the Pomeranian does not
require as much attention as some of the other coated breeds but
nevertheless does require regular grooming - at least 2 or 3 times a week,
if not more often. Your new puppy should be groomed from an early age so
that it can learn to accept and enjoy all the attention. Best results will
be obtained by using a good quality bristle brush. When you pat your
Pomeranian, stroke the coat from the tail to the head, as this will help
to raise the dense coat.
This breed's exercise requirements are not
extensive - a daily run around the family's garden or a short walk is
sufficient to keep your Porn fit and healthy.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Your Pomeranian will be a member of your
family for many years to come, so take great care in selecting exactly the
right dog for your family.

BACKGROUND
The Pomeranian is believed to have
descended from wolfspitz type dogs which at some early stage migrated to
(Pomerania north east of Germany and
Poland ) from the north of Russia and Siberia. It shares common ancestry
with other Arctic breeds such as the Samoyed and Keeshond. These early
Spitz type dogs were used as guard and sledge animals. At this stage of
development, the breed weighed around 14 kg.
The smallest puppies from any litters were
often kept as companions - and later these smaller Spitz dogs were bred
together in an effort to further reduce the size.
Pomeranians were established as a breed in
the eighteenth century after they attracted the interest of the English
monarchy. Upon her marriage to King George III, Queen Charlotte brought
large white Pomeranians to England in 1761. However it was not until Queen
Victoria's reign that the Pomeranians became one of the most popular toy
breeds. The 9 - 13.6 kg. dogs of Queen Charlotte's time now weighed just
5.5 kg. Queen Victoria further improved the breed after she imported
smaller Pomeranians of different colours from
various European countries.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN
When considering a dog, please realize that
you are taking it on for its lifetime. Pomeranians live from between 10 to
12 years of age.

BREED PERSONALITY/CHARACTER/ TEMPERAMENT
The Pomeranian makes a delightful family
member, being extroverted, lively and very intelligent. This breed has not
forgotten its spitz heritage and can be very loyal and protective towards
its human family. Compensating for its diminutive size with extreme
intelligence and incredible energy, the Pomeranian is eager to learn and
excels at any type of obedience training.
IDEAL OWNER/S
Owing to its diminutive size and high
energy levels, the Pomeranian is not recommended for families with young
children. These little dogs are best suited to flat dwellers who are
prepared to exercise them on a regular basis. Owing to their high
intelligence and loyalty, Poms also make excellent companions for the
elderly.
