How do you groom a pomeranian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == After the dog is bathed, brushed and blown dry, the groomer will traditionally use a #7 or #10 blade on the back. You start at the base of the skull and shave down the dogs back including the entire tail. The line then extends down the back of the thigh to the hock on both the inside and outside of the thigh. The line then extends from the back down the sides and sliding off the body to form a skirt. The line goes down to the elbow or top of the front leg and is blended off. The front of the neck is shaved down but only to the center of the brestbone and blended. the legs are scissored to form cylindrical legs. The bottoms of the feet rounded to the table and the excess hair trimmed from the bottom of the feet. the face is done with a #10 or #15 blade. the top of the head and ears is shaved up to the eyebrows. Under neath the chin the hair is shaved until you reach the 3 "moles". One on each cheek and one under the chin. The blade is angled from the outside corner of each eye down toward the cheeks. Neaten the edges of the ears with scissors. Never cut the hair on top of the nose. It is to look sligthly messy and hang over the front of the nose. The beard should be shaped and angled forward with scissors. Taking the scissors cut a "V" in the middle of the eyebrows, and trim away any crusties from the inner corners of the eye. Then angling the scissors from the outer part pf each eye to the base of the nose, angle the eyebrows. Using a #10 blade clean groin and belly. The nails should also be trimmed and the hair plucked out from the inside of the ears.

How large would a Pomeranian Pom Poo mix puppy get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My yorkie-poo is ten mos. old ten inches high at shoulder and weighs sixteen lbs. He looks to be all york ,coal black, however he has longer legs than an adult yorkie. It is my understanding that the mix will vary in size favoring one breed or the other. Mine's lookin' to favor tall and trim. In other words your dog will be sized between standard yorkie and standard poodle. Does this help?

What are facts about Pomeranians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer: Pomeranians originated as sled and sheep herder dogs in Pomerania- a region now recognized as Poland and East Germany. They used to be over 30 pounds until breeders began to breed them down to the size they are today. They make great apartment dogs. They are used in therapy, and as search and rescue dogs (because they are small and fit into small spaces in collapsed buildings where bigger dogs can't go). Michelangelo, Mozart, Marie Antoinette and Queen Victoria all had Pomeranians. The Pomeranian became popular in the 1800s when Queen Victoria brought some to England as showdogs- because she preferred smaller dogs, breeders began to try to breed them smaller. They were recognized as a breed in the United States by the AKC in the early 19th century.

What is the average age for pomeranians pups first litter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean "How old is my pomeranian in dog years?", then I can answer your question. First, take the age of your dog. In the early stages of life (as in 1-3 years old) the dog's age is usually multiplied by 3 or four. Otherwise, you can multiply your dog's age by seven in later years. You can also ask your vet too. :)

Why are Pomeranians so small?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Pomeranian is descended from a large German spitz dogs of the 16th century, like the related Keeshond, Samoyed, and Norwegian Elkhound. The original Pomeranians were much larger, weighing up to 30 pounds and worked as sheep herders.

By 1888 Queen Victoria began breeding and showing Pomeranians. It was she who started breeding them down in size, making the breed very popular in England.

Today's Pomeranian breed weighs 3 to 7 pounds, with the ideal weight for the show specimen being 4 to 6 pounds.

How much do pomeranians cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, anywhere between £1000 to £1500. (Especially if it's from an accredited breeder who's puppies have very successful show dog parents). Bitches tend to cost a bit more because you don't find them as often and are usually kept for breeding.

Pomeranians are number 10 in the top ten most expensive dog breeds.

If you get one from a less experienced/unknown breeder, you can get the pomeranian for less.

Expect to pay lots for a real pomeranian and don't visit sites where dogs are DL registered or are some sort of puppy farm.

What are the adaptations of pomeranians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pro's:

  • If done correctly, training is very easy. Pugs are very intelligent dogs, and you should never yell at your dog when training it, this will only confuse it and make training difficult.
  • Many people think that pugs are only lap dogs, but in reality, they are wonderful watch dogs. pugs though, do not bark constantly like other small breeds, and they are very protective of there home, and family.
  • Pugs are a wonderful family dog. depending on how the dog is treated, and it's past experiences, it is wonderful with family's with any age of children, though you should never bring a pug into the family unless you positively know that it is fully comfortable with the family.
  • Pugs are usually comfortable with new family members such as cats or dog, of course it all depends on the past experiences of this pug. pugs are very curious animals, and will most likely just smell the other cat and/or dog. It is very, very uncommon for a pug to attack another creature on the spot.
  • Pugs can live anywhere, as long as it's indoors. whether your living in the country, or the city- pugs are perfectly happy in either of these habitats.

Con's:

  • Unfortunately the pug can have some health issues. the pugs snout is very short, causing: breathing problems, snorting, snoring, and other problems such as infections. It is a very good idea to clean out the pugs wrinkles in it's face with a cutip, every so often. it will prevent illness in the future. also the pug has very big eyes, and this can lead to very bad consequences if not careful. the pugs eyes must be cleaned to prevent illness, and if the eyes are scratched, or in any other way hurt, it can make your pug blind, or have costly infections.
  • Grooming can be good, and bad for the pug. the pug does have very short hair, but the wrinkles in the face, and the eyes, of the pug must be cleaned. if not the pug will have health issues. also pugs do shed badly, there may be a rumor of pugs not shedding but it is not true. never believe a breeder that tells you otherwise.
  • Pugs are an inside dog, and can not live outside. they are not used to the temperature of the outdoors, hot or cold. they obviously need to go outside to use the bathroom, but Cannot be left outside for long periods of time. this can also lead to health problems, and even death for your pug.
  • Pugs can become easily dehydrated if they go long without water. If you take your pug anywhere in the heat, you should always bring water for them. as I said, pugs are not outside animals, and need water after doing any type of exercise
ALWAYS spay & neuter your pets!

Does pomeranian shed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No they just get bigger and grow more fur. But i would have to admit the pomeranian puppies are alot cuter


POMERANIAN PUPPIES WILL SHED ALL OF THEIR PUPPY FUR, ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT NOTICE. THEN THEY SHED THEIR FUR TWICE A YEAR AS ADULTS.

* YES they shed. The only difference in their shedding and other types of dogs is the hair length and texture. It's more like human hair. My pom blows her undercoat twice a year and, yes, I notice! Try wearing a black shirt!

What dogs are mixed to make a Pomeranian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any and all mixes between dog breeds are called mutts untill they start breeding true, an event that usually takes 20-40 years ofconsistentfirm breeding to occur.

Back yard breeders and puppy mills looking to make a quick buck by scamming people into believeing a poorly bred mutt is a pure breed or something special will make up names that are typically just a mash up of the dogs alleged parental breeds. So in a BYB's mind a "papillon/pmeranian" mutt is now either a "Papianian" or a "pompapillon" or maybe even "Pappomillion" Whatever fits the BYBers whim.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, since teacup Pomeranians are very cute (but sadly not well bred, as they are only bred to achieve the smallest size possible), "breeders" can put any price they want.

Amount for the Dog itself can be as little as 100 dollars as much as 2,000 dollars.

Amount for dog food per month Ranges between 30-70 bucks

Amount for Other equipment: 300-350 bucks.

Total amount for a dog in general: anywhere between 430-1,420 bucks for a dog. YIKES!

The number of yearly registrations at the Kennel Club has jumped from about 1000/year in 2000 to 6000/year in 2010 and over 9000/year in 2015. That's only a snapshot of a limited amount of the population, but it does show that the amount of pugs in the world is skyrocketing. Total population numbers are not available.

How large is the average Pomeranian litter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average litter size is 1 to 3. Note that pomeranians are small dogs and so can only hold a small number of puppies; there have many pomeranians litters with just one litter and 2 and 3 are very common. A pomeranians litter with 4 puppies is considered to be a large one, although litters of up to 5, 6 and even the rare 7 have been reported.
