Introduction
Pomeranians are a popular dog breed in the United States and around the world. They’re small, adorable, and great for apartment living. But there’s more to this breed than meets the eye! In fact, there are many things you should know about Pomeranian puppies before you even start looking for one. Come read my guide to finding a good Pom puppy – from researching them to choosing a breeder and more!
Research.
- Research the breed. Do your research before you get a dog. Not only will this help you understand what it’s like to own one of these breeds, but it will also give you an idea of what kinds of activities they are best suited for and how much exercise they need.
- Research the breeder. The breeder is just as important as the breed itself when buying a puppy, so make sure that they have breeding practices that align with your ethical standards and beliefs.
- Research the puppy’s parents and grandparents. You should always look at past generations when considering getting a Pomeranian puppy because this helps determine their temperament and behaviour as adults.
- Bloodlines matter! Bloodline matters are essential when looking into buying any kind of dog—but especially so with Pomeranians because they can come from very different types within their breed groups; some may be more suited towards being lapdogs while others could be better suited towards being working dogs (like guide dogs).
Choose a solid breeder.
A good breeder will be willing to answer any questions you have, and should also be happy to show you their facility. The two things I value most in a breeder are 1) willingness to answer questions, and 2) professionalism. When talking with a breeder over the phone or email, they should seem like they know what they’re doing! They should be able to give you all the information you need about their dogs, including health history and personality traits.
If you feel like the breeder is being evasive about giving out information (i.e., “No one will buy from me if I tell them everything”), that’s not a good sign at all—it means they have something to hide! When visiting the premises of where your pup was raised, make sure that it looks clean and well-maintained; avoid breeders who harbor dogs outdoors in unsanitary conditions or who use cages for puppies instead of letting them roam free inside an indoor kennel area (more on this later).
What to look for in Pomeranian puppies.
When looking for a Pomeranian puppy, you want to look for a healthy one. A healthy Pomeranian will be playful and curious. It will also not be afraid of new people or new things.
This is especially important if you are considering buying a Pom from an animal shelter or rescue organization because these dogs may have been abused before they reached the shelter. If the puppy was abused, it might be afraid of other people and objects that you have never seen or heard of before. This is why it is so important to see them play with their siblings or littermates first before making any decisions on adopting an adult dog into your home later on down the road!
Health clearances and what they mean.
Health clearances are DNA tests that check for specific genetic diseases. They can be done at any time during the dog’s life, but some are done when they’re puppies or adults.
The results of these tests help to determine whether you have a healthy dog and what risks you may face in future generations if you breed with your Pomeranian. It’s best to work with an experienced breeder who will know how to go about getting them for their dogs, as well as giving advice on how much this all costs.
You should also do some research into how much health testing costs before buying from a breeder who doesn’t offer it or is too expensive – there are plenty of websites online where you can find out information about DNA testing prices from different companies that offer these services; we’ve included links below!
Exercise.
Exercise is important for any dog, but it’s especially necessary for Pomeranians. In fact, if you don’t provide enough exercise for your Pom and he or she doesn’t get enough, the dog may become overweight or even depressed!
The type of exercise you give your Pom will depend on their personality. Some like being active; others prefer to relax at home. It’s a good idea to try different activities so that they get used to all kinds of experiences when they’re young (and so they’ll be less likely to resist new things later).
You can find out what kind of exercise your dog enjoys by observing them: Does he prefer chasing squirrels? Does she want to wrestle with other dogs? Or does he just want some long walks with friends? The more variety they get when young, the better equipped they’ll be as adults! If possible, try different things each day until you find something that makes both of your lives happier — whether it’s going hiking every weekend or playing fetch in the backyard every afternoon before dinner–it doesn’t matter as long as both parties enjoy it!
Grooming.
Brushing your Pomeranian regularly is important for keeping their coats in good condition and for removing dead hair. Brushing also distributes the oils from their skin that keep the coat shiny and healthy. You can use a firm bristle brush or a shedding blade if brushing doesn’t seem to be doing the job, but make sure to brush gently on their tummy, chest and tail area because these areas can become irritated easily.
Pomeranians have very sharp teeth which grow continuously throughout his/her lifetime. As they age it’s important to take care of this by brushing them daily with toothpaste especially if he/she has any dental problems such as gingivitis or tooth decay which could lead to more serious issues down line if left untreated! You should also get him/her used to having his/her nails trimmed regularly so as not for them become sharp enough to pierce through clothing during playtime!
Even though the pomeranian is a small breed, it really does need exercise and grooming as other, larger dogs do
Even though the pomeranian is a small breed, it really does need exercise and grooming as other, larger dogs do. Pomeranians require the same amount of physical activity as any other dog to stay healthy. Regular exercise helps keep their weight down, so they don’t put unnecessary strain on their joints and muscles that may cause injuries or difficulties later in life. It also helps promote good behavior in your pomeranian by increasing their attention span while allowing them to burn off excess energy. Exercise increases blood flow which improves heart health; therefore providing a happier life for both you and your Pomeranian!
