Pomeranian for sure
POMERANIAN
No, the Toy Pomeranian is basically a term used by some puppy mills, breeders and owners when they are referring to an undersized Pomeranian. Since the Toy Pomeranian does not meet the height requirements of the Pomeranian as stated in the breed standards of reputable kennel clubs, the puppy mills and breeders used this name so that purchasers will consider them as another breed instead of an undersized Pomeranian that fails to meet breed standards. The name "Toy Pomeranian" also creates the impression that this breed is cute, and small in a trendy way. The Toy Pomeranian is also not recognized as a breed by reputable kennel clubs such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). Most people who purchased a Toy Pomeranian are unaware that it is more prone to health problems than a Pomeranian. Their smaller skeletal structure makes them more fragile, hence they are more likely to suffer from accidents. Their life span is also generally shorter than that of a Pomeranian.
The average size of a Pomeranian brain is about the size of a tennis ball. These brains are slightly smaller in the younger dogs.
The pomeranian is a small toy breed that has a fluffy coat. Their coats need quite alot of brushing! Hope this helps.
Pray that you have a standard toy-sized Pomeranian and NOT a so-called "teacup"!! "Teacup" is NOT a recognized size for ANY toy sized dog. "Teacup" toy dogs are the result of irresponsible back-yard breeding to create smaller and smaller toy dogs. This results in tiny and very SICKLY dogs that shiver all the time, have terrible dental problems, many other health problems, and are difficult to train and nearly impossible to housebreak. "Teacup" dogs cannot be shown because they are WAY out of standard for their breeds. Most of the females cannot be bred because they often die while trying to deliver their puppies.

In the Pomerania region of Western Europe.
Yes, they are adorable little dogs. The ones I have seen are bred from a toy poodle and a small Pomeranian dog. Both have wonderful dispositions.

The difference in size of a teacup and "normal" Pomeranian adult dog is hardly noticeable. The Pomeranian grows to be between three and seven pounds. Anyone who sells their Poms as teacups simply has small dogs.
