Raising Pomeranian puppies can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for dog owners and dog breeders. The Pomeranian is part of the toy group of dogs and is classified as such due to its diminutive size. Pomeranians may have small bodies but they also have big, vibrant personalities. Before choosing to raise a Pomeranian pup, a potential owner should research the history of the Pomeranian, breed characteristics, and how to properly care for Pomeranian puppies and adults.
The history of the Pomeranian actually begins in Lapland and Finland. Large sledding dogs from these regions were brought to Germany and Poland and bred down to a smaller size. The area of Germany and Poland, once known as Pomerania, is where the Pomeranian breed gets its moniker. Queen Victoria of England continued the downsizing of the breed in the late 1800s. Her beloved Pomeranian, Marco, and her active breeding and showing of Pomeranians, made the breed fashionable as a household pet.
Pomeranian pups are really more fur than body. Because they have a double-layer of fur, Pomeranians need to be brushed once daily optimally to prevent matting and tangles. Purebred Pomeranians come in a variety of solid, brindle and parti-colors. All are acceptable as long as the fur is maintained. Pomeranians do not need to be bathed often due to the fact that they need the natural oils in their fur to keep it soft and shiny.
There are many other grooming and care needs required by a Pomeranian pup. Due to the fact that the breed suffers from dental problems, teeth should be brushed with a baby toothbrush once daily or a minimum of once weekly. Pomeranian puppies weigh mere ounces and adults only grow to be three to seven pounds and eight to eleven inches tall. Because of their small size and tendency to be underfoot simply dropping them or tripping over them can injure Pomeranian puppies and adults. Most breeders will not sell to families with children under the age of five because of this. Pomeranians must be handled delicately.
A purebred Pomeranian pup should be bought from a reputable breeder. Good breeders maintain their own kennels and encourage buyers to visit puppies and their mothers prior to purchase. This is an excellent way for potential owners to ask questions about the breed, see how the Pomeranian puppies have been raised, and learn about specific Pomeranian puppy care techniques.
All dog buyers should do their research prior to taking home dogs of a specific breed. It is important to make sure the dog and owner will be compatible for the long term. Pomeranian breeders will not sell a dog to a household with children under the age of five for example, because small children and Pomeranians are incompatible. Dog buyers should never buy from a pet store because there is no guarantee that these puppies have been raised in a positive environment. Good Pomeranian breeders establish a strong foundation of love, socialization, training and discipline for the dog owner to build upon when raising his or her Pomeranian pup.
Pomeranian puppies can be a delight to raise. There are several rules to follow when providing Pomeranian puppy care. This article will provide information about Pomeranian pups and Pomeranian puppy care.

Tips On How To Choose The Right Pomeranian Puppy
The Pomeranian is one of many toy breeds registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC). The history of the Pomeranian begins just south of the Baltic Sea. Named for Pomerania, which is now a part of Germany and Poland, Pomeranians are descended from large sled dogs from this region. Descendents of these northern sled dogs, large and small, are classified in the Spitz group. In the late 1800s, British royals desired to breed a smaller version of the Spitz to act as a household pet. Pomeranians were bred down to toy size from their direct ancestors, the German Spitz.
Physically, Pomeranian puppies and adults are adorable toy dogs. Pomeranians generally resemble small foxes. This breed is known for characteristics such as: doll-like face, dark, almond shaped eyes, small feet, double coat of thick, full fur, pointed ears, and a thick, furry tail. Pomeranian coats may be a variety of colors: solid, sable or parti-colored. Pomeranians are considered toys due to the fact that they grow to an average miniature size of eight to eleven inches in height and three to seven pounds in weight.
Pomeranian puppies, in general, resemble baby foxes. They have heads shaped like inverted triangles, dark noses and eyes, thick double-layered coats, and furry tails curled over the back. Pomeranians continue to be bred smaller and have developed a more doll-like face and powder-puff appearance.
The personality of the Pomeranian is as big as the dog is small. Pomeranians are excitable, vivacious, demanding, and even high maintenance. They are not appropriate for households with infants or small children. Pomeranians tend to snap at children who pull their tails or annoy them. Overall, Pomeranians are good family dogs and do well with older children, other pets and adults.
Pomeranian breeders should be knowledgeable of all the positive and negative traits of the breed. They should inform potential buyers of the medical conditions common to Pomeranians such as dental and heart problems. Pomeranians have a relatively long life span (up to 20 years) but may suffer knee dislocations and other Pomeranian-specific health problems throughout their lives. Any reputable breeder will have had the parents and puppies evaluated for pre-existing medical conditions.
So how does a buyer figure out how to choose the right Pomeranian? All Pomeranian puppies have the cuteness factor, but aside from physical appearance, there are a number of other ways to decide on a Pomeranian. First, research the breed. A buyer must make sure this breed fits his or her lifestyle before buying. Second, research the breeder. There are many illicit breeders who sell Pomeranian puppies out of what are called puppy mills. These breeders ceaselessly breed the parents without providing socialization or any semblance of a happy life. The puppies of these maltreated parents end up in pet stores or being sold on the Internet through brokers. The parents end up being destroyed. The only places to buy Pomeranian puppies are from certified, ethical breeders or rescue centers which house purebred dogs of specific breeds.
Third, know how to care for the Pomeranian. Good potential owners buy everything they need in advance to help the new member of the family feel comfortable. Fourth and finally, choosing the right Pomeranian may not be entirely up to the buyer. Reputable breeders interview and reject buyers they deem are not a good match for the Pomeranian they have chosen.

Pomeranian Puppies: Finding A Breeder
The Pomeranian breed was registered with the American Kennel Club in 1900. These toy dogs are descended from much larger sledding dogs that originated in Iceland. The Pomeranian is named after a part of Poland and Germany once known as Pomerania. British royals and others took to breeding larger dogs down to a small size suitable for domestic living. The Pomeranian is a toy version of the German Spitz and is closely related to other large and medium sized members of the Spitz group such as the Chow Chow and Samoyed.
In appearance, a Pomeranian puppy has the overall look of a baby fox. It has a wedge-shaped head, a black nose, dark eyes, a gorgeous, thick double-layer of fur often seen in a red shade called sable, and a thick, furry tail that it carries high and curled over its back. Adult Pomeranians, or Pomeranians, grow to be three to seven pounds and eight to eleven inches tall. Pomeranians have big personalities. The Pomeranian is known to be affectionate, energetic, demanding, snappish and even high maintenance. Though they do well with older children, Pomeranians are not good with small children.
The demanding, high maintenance personality inherent in the Pomeranian requires that owners provide Pomeranian puppies with discipline early on. Buyers of Pomeranian puppies should only buy from reputable breeders who maintain their own kennels and provide stimulation, socialization and training to the puppies they sell. It is never appropriate to buy any dog from a pet store. Pet stores receive shipments of animals just like any other merchandise and puppies do not receive adequate care and attention like they do when whelped and raised by a breeder.
Buyers of Pomeranian puppies should do their research on the breed before making a purchase. They should ask the breeder ample questions and the breeder should be knowledgeable in all areas from breed standard and grooming, to discipline and training, to whelping and healthcare. A good breeder will provide documentation of a Pomeranian puppy's health and pedigree. The pedigree will include the names of the puppy' sire (father) and dam (mother). Most will have champion names in their history. A buyer may want to ask advice on puppy names for their Pomeranian.
Owners of a purebred Pomeranian puppy often give them show names if they plan to have their dogs compete. Many reflect the puppy's sire or dam name. Show names are very different from the true names owners give their dogs for use at home. For example, one champion Pomeranian's show name is "Kalo's Rock and Music City". This dog's actual name is "Nash".
Owners can consult Internet sites or puppy name books to find the perfect name for their Pomeranian puppies. Some of the most popular dog names are Maggie, Sadie, Lady, Max, Buddy and Sam. Some of the more creative names include Crimson, Firenze, Artemis and Abracadabra. Another option is to name the tiny Pomeranian something opposite its size such as Goliath, Bear or Lord of Windsor. The most important thing to remember in naming a Pomeranian puppy is that this is the name it will be using for as much as the next nineteen years.

How To Choose A Pomeranian Breeder For Your New Dog
There has been a growing demand for the Pomeranian breed in recent years, what with so many celebrities in Hollywood sporting their little bundles of fluff wherever they go. The Pomeranian is certainly one of the most elegant small breed dogs, but many people are not aware of their affectionate nature. A growing awareness of the desirability of the Pomeranian as a family pet has left many a respectable Pomeranian breeder in the dark as to how best to keep up with the onslaught of orders.
Because there are many steps that a respectable Pomeranian breeder must take in order to ensure that each litter he or she produces is healthy, and that the prospective owners are going to give the pups a good home, many people are becoming impatient and purchasing their dogs from local pet stores who have been supplied by puppy mills. These puppy mills produce pups en masse, and often deliver dogs to the pet stores that are sick and even dying.
Puppy mills are a nightmare to an honest Pomeranian breeder. These mills churn out as many puppies as possible in a single year, often breeding females as soon as one litter is delivered. This is dangerous due to the fact that small breed dogs need time to heal in between litters. At least a season or two is recommended, but a quality Pomeranian may wait as many as three seasons before breeding a female for a second time.

It is most important that you realize a respectable breeder would never dream of selling even a single pup to a pet store where they have no control over where their dogs are placed.

Unfortunately, many new Pomeranian owners quickly become heartbroken when their new dogs become sick and die from the maltreatment they received from these puppy mills. Remembering that a quality Pomeranian breeder would never sell a pup to a pet store can help you make the decision as to where you should buy your new dog.
Most pet storeowners have a canned speech that they will give to potential puppy buyers about the fact that they only get their dogs from a well-respected Pomeranian breeder. The sad truth is that this simply isn't so, and that no dog coming form a pet store has been bred by someone concerned for the health and welfare of the dog.

Finding Pomeranian Breeders
If you are interested in finding Pomeranian breeders so that you can purchase a Pomeranian dog, then there are a few things you are going to want to be aware of.

Their purpose is to breed as many dogs as possible in order to make the biggest profit, and this would be a major sign to stay away and find another breeder. Not only for moral purposes but also because these breeders are more likely to have weak and unhealthy dogs.
It is not only important to gather the necessary information but also to make sense of the information that you get. You always need to know the difference between reputable and responsible Pomeranian breeders, as just because someone is successful in the show ring this certainly does not mean that they produce healthy dogs with good temperaments or even that they take care of the dogs in general.
You should never make any final decisions on any Pomeranian breeders before checking and double-checking. You want to find a breeder that breeds for good health and temperament and not for money or other personal reasons.
