Personality, characteristics and temperament
Pomeranians are sweet and gentle dogs, that love to be the absolute centre of attention. Alert and inquisitive, making good little watch dogs. This small breed are full of character and personality, and will keep you amused for hours on end. Though lively at times, the Pom is a dog who enjoys to crawl up on the couch with you of an evening and just be near to you - making an excellent companion that will never be too far from your side.
History of the Pomeranian
Pomeranians are a Spitz-type dog, though much smaller in size than their distant cousins including the Samoyed, German Spitz and Siberian Husky. Pomeranians originated from the previously known Pomerania region, now Poland and Germany. Todays Pom's are much smaller than the original Pomeranians of which they were derived from. Initially bred to herd sheep, Pomeranians are now solely bred as a companion dog.
Grooming your Pomeranian
Pomeranians are fairly easy in the grooming department, considering they don't need to be trimmed around the face or taken off to the groomer for a regular clip. A slicker brush is essential for Pomeranian owners, and brushing Poms from a young age to ensure they become accustomed to the sensation of a brush/comb running through their coat. A monthly bath will be suited best (bathing more frequently than this can alter natural pH levels, and cause skin irritations), whilst using a doggy dry shampoo in-between washes to maintain a clean, fresh scent. Pomeranians will require a good brush once - twice a week to avoid matting.
Training your Pomeranian
Pomeranians are very smart and intelligent little dogs, and it is important to not allow them to out smart you from the beginning. Teach your Pomeranian their place within the family and the home from day one, and don't allow them to become the pack leader of your household. With this in mind, Poms make an excellent student. Consistency is key, and your Pom will learn quickly.
