Pomeranian
The Pomeranian, Pom or Pom Pom, is a German Spitz breed named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe (today part of eastern Germany and northern Poland) and classed as a toy dog because of its size.
The Pomeranian has soft and fluffy fur. Their thick, fluffy tails fan over their backs. When born, the tails of Pomeranians are straight or slightly curved. It usually takes a Pomeranian's tail 1-3 months to curve over its back. Their teeth come to a scissor bite and they have almond shaped eyes. A Pomeranian's fur can be many different colors including white (or a light beige color),tan, black, brown, orange, sable, wolf, or white with colored markings.
Pomeranians love to be around their owners and are typically very friendly, playful and active. They are also very intelligent and easily trained. On the downside, they do not always socialize well with other dogs, animals, and people and can develop the habit of barking excessively.
Because of their long double-coat, they tend to seek out cooler environments and it is not uncommon to find them lying down on a cold floor or hard surface. They tend to usually be good with children from the age of 3+ because of their delicate bone structure. Because of their size, they do well in condominiums and apartments, but they are able to adapt to almost any situation or environment.
The Pomeranian has been among the most popular of dog breeds of late... in the top 15 dog breeds over the last 10 years.
