Pomeranian

Pomeranian dog

A Pomeranian is an excellent choice if you want a charming, tiny, and highly soft dog breed. You receive a gorgeous wool tot with the softest fur here, and that is not to be taken for granted. The breed is a smaller form of the German Spitz, which explains the dog's pointed muzzle.

You get an absolutely attractive dog who is happy and self-confident. It is watchful but not aggressive. It quickly creates a tight link with its owner and is small, making it easy to keep in the flat. Pomeranians are approximately 18-23 cm tall and weigh 1.5-3 kg as adults.

A dog that requires a good amount of training

We understand if you've fallen in love with the adorable Pomeranian dog breed, because we have. You will receive a small puppy that is light, happy, and incredibly intelligent, and who will readily follow you around. However, there is a problem with the breed since it barks so much, whether to warn you or out of joy.

Fortunately, the breed can be trained, but it is best to begin when your Pomeranian is a puppy to get the most out of the training. Because it is intelligent, it enjoys learning. You can use this to your advantage when teaching it when to bark. During training, you must be persistent and set boundaries so that your Pomeranian understands who is in charge. However, you cannot fully ignore the fact that it does happen on occasion.

A determined dog who wants his own way

Although the breed is simple to train, there is little doubt that a Pomeranian's temperament is characterized by independence and hence requires a firm hand. The dog gets along well with people and serves as a good defense dog, barking when intruders approach. If the training is not followed, it may get irritable and bark at its owner.

The breed's protective tendency stems from its origins as a herding dog in the Pomerania region of Germany and Poland. As a result, the breed was larger in the nineteenth century, weighing roughly 15 kg and was bred down to a miniature version of Queen Victoria of England.

A beautiful dog in different colors

The soft dog breed has a gorgeous rich and fluffy coat. This is due to the dog's double coat, among other factors. The dog has a rich undercoat and a lengthy outer coat, which results in a gorgeous coat that demands a lot of care. You must brush the coat on a regular basis, and fortunately, you may avoid the dog from shedding excessively if you brush it many times per week.

Warm water and an appropriate dog shampoo and conditioner should be used for the finest fur care. The fur must then be completely dried, preferably with a low-heat hairdryer. Because the coat is distinct, it must be trimmed on a regular basis. You can either trim it at home with a trimmer or take it to a professional dog groomer.

The small puppy is available in practically every color. You can obtain a Pomeranian in black, white, orange, or anything altogether different this way. Although many Pomeranians have brown or orange fur, practically any hue, tone, or combination is possible.

Pomeranian and diseases

Generally speaking, this breed is healthy and can prevent serious illness with the proper nutrition and care. But just like every other breed of dog, this one will also have certain health issues. It is exposed in some ways more than other dog breeds. Tracheal collapse, patella luxation, alopoecia X, and degenerative myelopathy are a few of the common disorders that affect this breed.

Additionally, the breed is more likely than other dogs to develop tartar, therefore it should have its teeth cleaned 2-4 times a year.

Food for small dogs

The right food must be considered throughout the dog's life when considering the Pomeranian and lifespan. When a dog becomes older, it becomes less energetic, but this is true for puppies as well. The amount of feed must take into account the animal's size, weight, activity level, and overall health. If it is a tiny dog, the amount must be kept to a minimum. However, if it is particularly active, it may be advantageous to choose food with higher energy.

It is a good idea to use incentives for training to assure your dog's attention. However, you must always respect the dog so that it does not perceive itself in a position to take control, which a little and intelligent dog can readily figure out.
