Breed Information

Overview

Pomeranians are generally active, friendly, and affectionate towards their family. They tend to have a “big dog in a small body” type of attitude and are often suspicious of strangers. This makes them alert watchdogs. However, if left unchecked, this can cause them to bark constantly and to try and intimidate other much larger dogs. Socialization and training early on is very important for a well-rounded and well-behaved Pomeranian. Poms love attention. They will enjoy life as a lapdog and family companion, which also makes them great therapy dogs. They’ve even been trained as service dogs in some capacities. They tend to do well with children. Due to their small size, they are generally a better fit for older children who are less likely to injure them with accidental falls or rough play.

The Pomeranian is distantly related to the original Arctic sled dogs; they just come in a much smaller package. Poms are one of the smallest dog breeds and are the smallest of the Spitz breeds. Their name traces to a region that was called Pomerania, which is located across modern Poland and western Germany, and is where it is believed the process of downsizing their ancestors began.

They have been a royal favorite throughout history. Pomeranians were recognized by the AKC in 1888 as a member of the Toy Group. In addition to being a popular companion breed, one of the facts about Pomeranians is that they are a globally popular toy breed and are considered one of the most popular toy breeds in the world.

Temperament

Pomeranians are generally active, friendly, and affectionate towards their family. They tend to have a “big dog in a small body” type of attitude, which makes good socialization and training even more important to keep them from becoming unruly. Well-socialized Poms tend to do well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Due to their small size, they are generally a better fit for older children who are less likely to injure them with accidental falls or accidental rough play. Poms love attention. They will enjoy life as lap dogs and family companions, which also makes them great therapy dogs. They are even one of the dog breeds that make good service dogs and have excelled at working as medical alert dogs or as support dogs for owners who are hard of hearing or deaf. These little dogs are often suspicious of strangers and tend to be vocal and alert watchdogs. However, if left unchecked, this can also cause them to bark constantly. It’s generally a good idea to train your dog to stop barking early on in addition to socializing and training them for a well-rounded and well-behaved Pomeranian.

Queen Victoria is credited with kicking off the Pom’s rise to global popularity.

In addition to Queen Victoria, Emile Zola, Marie Antoinette, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart also owned Pomeranians.
