Pomeranian Dogs: Things to Know

The breed of Pomeranians was first recognized by the English Kennel Club as the "The Spritzdog". Pomeranians are beautiful dogs with a very responsible character. They are very beautiful, happy, and lovable dogs. They have acute hearing, are extremely alert, and they make great watch dogs. Many Pomeranians are black, white, or tan in color and have very long fur.

I really believe that God has given many animals' keen senses, and Pomeranians possess that special quality, because they are quick in sensing the mood of their owners. This beautiful breed loves to be close to its owners, is unselfish, and prefers toys and a bed of its own.

Pomeranians are quiet and very well behaved, but they do not like to be left alone. They really like to be close to their owners and are very curious animals.

If you are considering owning a Pomeranian puppy, it is important to be sure that you are willing to take the responsibility of training him and caring for his needs. Early training for a Pomeranian puppy is very important.

Pomeranians are very dainty eaters and they take excellent care of their beautiful coat of fur, but even though they take very good care of their coats, they still need extra grooming. Their hair is very long and it does require constant care. A natural bristle brush works best on Pomeranian fur. The coat needs about three or four years to grow, however at the age of one year, it should already have its adult coat.

When a Pomeranian puppy is around two months old its coat should already be long. At three months of age it will lose its coat and may look like it does not have much hair. At five months, the puppy will look like it has short hair after it sheds some more hair and at ten months of age you should be able to see its luscious double coat. The owner will need to spend more time on the Pomeranian's coat when it is an adolescent. Daily brushing of the dog's double coat is needed to prevent matting and an un-groomed appearance. Pomeranians shed once or twice a year, but monthly bathing is recommended and it is important to clean their ears, eyes, and teeth regularly.

If you have small children, they must be very gentle with Pomeranians, because their bones are very delicate and are tiny dogs, not only as puppies, but also as adults. In fact Pomeranians can fit in a very small space and are easy to carry with you wherever you go.

Pomeranians make wonderful pets and can be beautiful show dogs. They are loveable, amiable, smart, kind dogs and great companions.
