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.

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?
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
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!

Should a Pomeranian hair be cut?
no, but if it has to much hair ,more than it is supposed to have , then you can shave it.
Mine does sometimes, but its only because she's spoiled, but you can train any dogs not to bark by scolding them, all barking is, is them trying to communicate since they can't talk though.
What dogs are mixed to make a Pomeranian?
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.

Can dogs take Imodium aka immodium or Loperamide for diarrhea?
Immodium and other OTCs containing Loperamide can be fatal to any type of dog that has white hair or fur on its ankles and feet; this is due to a genetic permutation. A number of breeds fall into this category, but the most common are collies (rough collies and border collies). Never give this to a dog with white feet.
Yes, you can, in certain situations. Click one of the links below to find out when you can and should before giving the dog the medication. But you can give Pepto Bismol or Imodium AD, for diarrhea- (1/2 a 2mg tablet for a 20-30 lb. dog, 2-4x day max at 4-6 hour intervals for dogs, 1/8-1/4 if a tablet or 1ml of the liquid for a 10 lb. cat ; if liquid medication, use a syringe inserted in the side of the mouth ).
Your over-the-counter antidiarrheals are:
Kaolin-pectin (Kaopectate) 1-2 mL/kg, PO, qid
Activated charcoal 2-8 g/kg, PO
Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) 1-3 mL/kg/day in divided doses, PO
Loperamide (Imodium) 0.08 mg/kg, PO, tid-qid
[PO is "by mouth", tid is "three times a day" and qid is "four times a day"]
Good info is here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27840008/ Here: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=0+1459&aid=1432 And here: http://www.petshealth.com/dr_library/vomdiar.html Or, if you can manage a medical reference book, the Veterinary Merk Manual at http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp
I find the book "Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook (Howell Reference Books)" [there's one for cat's too, just as good] to be very helpful when needing to figure out what you can give your pet in these situations. Both, dog and cat, books have a chapter on what home medications you can give for the conditions/symptoms and in what dosages.
Warning, after reading either of those books you may wonder who the medicine cabinet is for - you or your pet, because you'll both be using the meds to treat yourselves. The books also tell you, as do the above links, when a run to the Vet is indicated.
These books have saved me a lot of money in avoiding unnecessary trips to the Vet for "tummy aches."
If I understand the question correctly, they mean parti-color, meaning that the dog is mixed color. I've most often seen parti-colors of a white base with splotches of calico colors like black, brown, and orange...though I'm sure there are all different kinds, but that is probably the most common.
No, peanuts for any breed of dog is not OK. A little peanut butter (and I mean little) is fine to get a medication in pill form into your dog, but other than that peanuts are extremely hard to digest for dogs, and some shelled peanuts can have mold on them and cause allergies.

What type of toys do pomeranian puppies like?
Since they are a small and delicated dog they love a small soft rubber ball and enjoy you throwing it. They love chew toys (good for their teeth) and if an adult a squeaky toy is something else they enjoy. They are sweet dogs and be gentle.
