Blue Pomeranian Puppies Make Great Companions For Any Size Family

By Christine Stone


Many dog lovers are pretty picky when it comes to the breeds they want as family members. Some love big, sturdy canines who can accompany them on hiking and camping trips. Others are mostly concerned with protection and choose animals for their reputations as guard dogs. Still others prefer tiny, affectionate bundles of fur that love to cuddle. If the latter describes you, blue Pomeranian puppies fit the bill.

These little animals actually belong to the Spitz family of dogs that include Elkhounds, Samoyeds, and Malamutes. Hundreds of years ago, Pomeranians looked more like their much larger cousins. They weighed around thirty pounds then, instead of the three to seven pounds you see today. They were favorites of the likes of Mozart, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and Sir Isaac Newton. A Pom owned by England's Queen Victoria was the first ever entered into a dog show.

Most Poms have personalities bigger than they are. These dogs are very smart and outgoing. They generally love people and fit into most family structures. Like all dogs, the Pom needs early socialization to avoid shyness, nervousness, and a tendency to bark at anything that moves. Meeting the parents of the puppy you are considering is a good idea. That will tell you a lot about your puppy's adult personality.

Even the bigger Poms are tiny dogs. Most range from three to seven pounds. Every once in awhile, a breeder will get a larger strain in a litter. The bigger Poms make good pets for families with little children. Whatever their weight, twelves inches is about as tall as they get.

Poms are so small they can live comfortably almost anywhere. The dogs are fine in condos and apartments as long as you give them plenty of playful attention. Most Poms love their dog toys, but need to be introduced to new ones periodically to prevent boredom. These smart, playful animals also love to learn tricks. Poms are big show offs and enjoy every chance to impress your guests.

Pomeranians have luxurious, double coats that are very distinctive. The top coat is rough, and the bottom coat is soft. Their sumptuous tails and neck ruffs are other special features that define the Pomeranian look. Brushing them every few days is a must. In order to get them used to the grooming routine, you need to start early and offer frequent treats.

Poms are pretty healthy and hardy little dogs. They have average life spans of twelve to sixteen years. Whenever you are buying any purebred animal, you need to ask the breeder to supply you with health clearances. This will let you know which diseases your puppy's immediate ancestors were cleared of. Allergies, epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and dental and eye problems are the most common health concerns.

Pomeranians make great additions to families. They are lively, intelligent, and loving. As with all purebred dogs, prospective owners should choose carefully from a litter and avoid puppy mills and unscrupulous breeders at all costs.
