Breed traits and characteristics

Pomeranians are happy and lively little dogs that are classed as the smallest member of the ‘Spitz’ family, which includes the Alaskan Malamute and Samoyed breeds. They take their name from the province of Pomerania in Germany where they originated.

Because they are descended from robust sled dogs, Pomeranians, affectionately called Pom Poms, are known as ‘the little dogs that think they can achieve anything’. They are spritely, active, and excel at numerous agility sports.

These dogs are incredibly affectionate towards their owners, but they are also known to be independent and courageous to the point of recklessness.

The fox-like Pomeranian boasts a thick double coat that stands out from the body, with a distinct ruff around the neck and chest. However, don’t let their adorable appearance fool you! These dogs are spunky and confident which can make them a joy to be around as long as they have been appropriately trained and socialised.

Meet the Pomeranian

    The Pomeranian is a small glamorous-looking dog breed with a fine-boned compact body, short neck, and dainty cat-like paws. Their heads are fox-shaped with erect rounded ears and a short, straight muzzle. The tail is set high on this breed and spreads out in an impressive plume over the back. Their legs are slightly muscled, short, and of equal length. The hindquarters are moderately bent and sit well under the set of the tail. Pomeranians have dark-coloured, almond-shaped eyes that are set well into the skull.

    When it comes to their coats, Pomeranians boast a thick, double-layer coat. The undercoat is soft and fluffy whereas the top layer is long and straight. They also have a long fringe of fur around their hindquarters which adds to their ‘filled-out’ appearance. Due to their thick coats, these dogs require regular brushing to prevent matts and tangles from forming. A brush every other day is best. Pomeranians come in a wide range of coat colours including chocolate, tan, red, sable, and brindle (black stripes on a gold, red, or orange background).

    Pomeranians are the smallest member of the Spitz family, weighing on average between 1-3kg. Interestingly, these dogs were not always so small. They used to weigh between 9 and 13kg before Queen Victoria bred them down in size.

    Pomeranian Temperament

    The Pomeranian is a confident and energetic little canine with a very affectionate nature. These dogs love to be the centre of attention! Pomeranians are known to form very strong bonds with one family member in particular so they are probably not the best option for first time dog owners or families. They are also prone to suffering from separation anxiety so are best suited to people who are at home for most of the day. Pomeranians can get along with other dogs however, care does need to be taken as these dogs have a very protective and territorial streak which can lead to aggression. They are not best suited to households with smaller pets as they have a relatively high prey drive.

    Pomeranians are highly intelligent animals so they do well with clicker training and learning new commands. However, you must begin training when your Pomeranian is a puppy, as these spirited dogs have a mischievous streak and will eagerly to take control if allowed! These dogs usually reach maturity at around 10 months old and as they get older, they are more inclined to become lap lovers! If your Pomeranian has been well socialised and well-trained, he will become an adored, comical, and active member of the family.

    As these dogs are descended from working sleigh dogs, they do require daily exercise. A 30 minute-1 hour walk per day should be enough for this miniature breed. However, you should also ensure your Pomeranian has plenty of play opportunities to keep his active brain stimulated. Otherwise, he may become bored and destructive. It is worth noting that these dogs love the sound of their own voices so it is best to train them not to bark from an early age!

    Best Homes for Pomeranians

      Pomeranians can live just as comfortably in a small apartment as in a house with a large garden. They are ideal for couples who spend most of their time at home as these dogs do not do well when left alone. They are not best suited to families with young children as they are known to become a bit snappy when play gets too rough. However, they can make good companions for older children. Pomeranians require a lot of mental stimulation to remain happy, and they require consistent training to ensure they don’t develop any unwanted behavioural habits. For this reason, you must ensure you have the time and commitment to devote to this minute but feisty canine! 

      FAQs about the Pomeranian

      Kitten and puppy mills are now illegal in the UK yet there are still a number of unlicensed breeders out there who are making money by keeping these animals in unsuitable conditions. Here at The Pedigree Paws, we follow a strict breeder selection process to ensure we only work with the best breeders in the UK and Europe who uphold the highest standards of animal welfare. This reassures our customers that their new puppy has been well socialised and appropriately weaned.

      Pomeranians are playful, and loveable companions that tend to form strong bonds with one family member in particular. With this one person they will be very affectionate and will happily curl up on your lap for a snuggle. However, these dogs have a bit of a protective streak which means they can become aggressive with strangers if not trained properly from a young age. These dogs generally get along well with older children but they are not best suited to families with young children as they are known to become snappy when play gets too rough. The miniature Pomeranian is also highly intelligent and very eager to please which makes them relatively easy to train. They love the stimulation that comes with clicker training and need to be provided with plenty of interactive toys to keep their strong minds active!
      Pomeranians can get along with other dogs and cats if they are brought up together from a young age. However, it is best to supervise all interactions between your pets due to the Pomeranian’s territorial streak. If trained properly, these dogs can make very sweet companions that will keep you entertained with their clown-ish behaviours and puppy-like personalities.

      It can be difficult finding a reputable breeder as there is just so much choice! However, here at The Pedigree Paws we have done the work for you and chosen the best breeders in the UK and Europe. So, you can be certain that you are buying a healthy Pomeranian puppy if you buy from us.
      We pride ourselves on being completely transparent as a business, which has helped us to build up complete trust with our customers. You can read our success stories for yourself on our website.

      All our puppies are health checked by a licensed vet before they are rehomed. We also ensure they are microchipped, dewormed, and have received all of their initial vaccinations before they move on to their forever homes.
      In addition, we make sure that all of our puppies come from parents that have been DNA checked, to ensure there are no hereditary health conditions present. For added peace of mind, we also DNA check all of our puppies. If the tests come back clear, you will know that your Pomeranian puppy is unlikely to develop any detrimental health issues during its life.

      It is always more reassuring to see your puppy with its parents, so we can set up a video call between you and the breeder to show you the puppies with their mother or both parents.

      All our puppies come with pedigree documents from internationally recognised dog welfare organisations, such as the KC, FCI, and AKC. The exact registration will depend on the location of the breeder.

      Here at The Pedigree Paws, we pride ourselves on only offering puppies from the very best breeders in the industry who adhere to the strict animal welfare policies set by internationally recognised welfare organizations. Our breeders adore their animals and work tirelessly to protect their health and wellbeing. All our puppies are also raised in family home environments rather than commercial breeding facilities, which ensures that every individual is well cared for.

      The prospect of adding a new canine member to your family is so exciting isn't it! We understand you will be eager to meet your puppy as soon as you can. However, early weaning can be detrimental to the development and health of a puppy. So, we prefer all our puppies to stay with their parents and siblings until they are 10-13 weeks old. This is only a guide though, and you can discuss the exact timescale with the breeder.

      Pomeranians are very confident characters. However, as with all dogs, they can be anxious in new environments. So, you must allow your new puppy the time he needs to settle into his new home, and provide plenty of reassurance along the way. Here are a few additional ways you can help your Pomeranian puppy adapt to his new home:
      Perhaps most importantly, we recommend that you ask the breeder to send your puppy along with a towel or blanket with their mother's scent. This will help your puppy to feel safe and secure in his new home. You should also set up a comfortable bedding area in a quiet part of your home as young puppies can sleep for up to 19 hours a day! Plus, it will give your new canine companion somewhere to retreat to when he is feeling overwhelmed.
      You should only allow your new puppy access to one room of the house at a time. Once your puppy appears comfortable, you can then slowly introduce them to other parts of the home.
      Begin potty training from the very beginning and use a reward-based system to reassure your puppy that he is doing the right thing. It is important to be patient during this process, and expect a couple of accidents along the way.
      Introduce family members and other pets slowly so your puppy has time to adjust to his new life and all of its inhabitants!
