If you are looking for a pooch to pamper, the Pomeranian is an excellent choice! The tiniest member of the Spitz family of dogs, these adorable little pups weigh just 3 to 7 pounds.

Pomeranian Dog Breed History:

The breed originated in an area of Germany called “Pomerania”, and were imported to Britain during the reign of Queen Victoria. They have since become very popular throughout the world, and are a good choice for people who have to spend a lot of time indoors. Pomeranians do not require a lot of exercise, and enjoy the pampered life. They do require daily brushing to keep their long, double coats in good condition.

• Pomeranian Temperament: The extroverted Pomeranian exhibits intelligence and a vivacious spirit. With his docile temper, pert animation and cocky attitude, he is a most appealing pet and companion.
• Activity level: Buoyant, alert and inquisitive, the Pom is an ideal housepet for adults who spend a lot of time indoors. He makes a good watchdog, manages with a minimum of exercise and enjoys being pampered.
• Height/Weight: This sturdy little dog may weigh from 3-7 lb (1.5-4 kg) with 4-6 lb (2-3 kg) being considered ideal.
