Introduction
Pomeranians are one of the most popular toy breeds in the United States and Europe. They have been bred down from a much larger dog and are named after a Polish province. This breed is often referred to as a Pom, Pom Pom, or Pom Pom Dog. Some believe that Pomeranians aren’t a breed but rather a mutation of the wolf but others disagree with this assertion saying they were first seen in paintings by German artist Sir Edwin Henry Landseer in 1839. Regardless of how they came into being (and no one knows for sure), what we do know is that this adorable little dog makes an excellent companion animal for people who live alone or want something fun to play with when they get home from work each day!
Pomeranians have been bred down from a much larger dog.
If you’re not familiar with Pomeranians, they are a very small breed of dog. They were originally bred to hunt and guard, but also served as sled dogs. The original Pom was much larger than its modern counterpart—as much as fifty pounds heavier! Over time, breeders have worked to develop a smaller version of the Pom that’s more suitable for homes and apartments.
Of course, we can’t forget about the fur! Poms come in many different colors and patterns (black-and-white or brown-and-white), but it’s their fluffy coats that make them so adorable.
They are named after a Polish province.
Pomeranians are named after Pomerania, a region in northern Poland and the name of the former duchy. The name literally means “Land of the Slavic Pomeranians,” who lived there before the Ostsiedlung (German for eastward settlement).
In other words, it’s not really surprising that Poms have Polish roots!
This breed is often referred to as a Pom, Pom Pom, or Pom Pom Dog.
Pomeranians are often called Poms, Pom-Poms or Pom-Poms. There are many possible reasons for this, so let’s take a look at some of them:
- First and foremost, the name “Pom” is short for Pomeranian (and also a slang term used to describe someone who pushes their way through crowds). It’s also our go-to answer whenever someone asks us what breed they are.
- The word “pom” refers to the sound that a dog makes when it pants or pants heavily due to exertion in hot weather. This is something that happens with these little dogs quite frequently!
- The word “pom pom” was used as an adjective describing something light and fluffy—like a ball of white fluff!
Some believe that Pomeranians aren’t a breed but rather a mutation of the wolf.
Some people think Pomeranians are a cross between the wolf and the fox. This is not true! Although they do resemble wolves in appearance, they are not related to them at all. The truth is that Poms are simply a breed of dog that has been around for centuries.
There are many other breeds of dogs out there with similar characteristics as Poms, such as Huskies and Chihuahuas. However, once you get to know them better and see how much fun they can be to play with or even just hang out with at home on lazy days when no one else wants to go out because it’s too hot outside then you won’t forget about these adorable little fur balls either!
If anyone asks me what my favorite thing about owning one is then I would have no trouble answering their question because there are so many things (and maybe even more) besides just being cute looking:
They’re extroverts who love people and other pets.
Poms are friendly, affectionate dogs who love to be around people and other animals. They’re energetic dogs that need daily exercise, but they aren’t hyperactive or aggressive. Poms are not the best choice for homes with small children because of their size and playful personality; however, they can get along well with older children who understand how to treat a dog properly.
Pomeranians are very intelligent dogs.
Pomeranians are very intelligent dogs. They can be trained to do tricks, fetch and obey commands, walk on a leash and even more!
They are easy to train, so if you’re looking to teach your pom some new skills this is the breed for you.
Their plush coats come in many colors and patterns.
Poms come in a variety of colors and patterns. The most common are red, white, black and tan, blue merle, and cream. The most common patterns are black and tan (with or without white), red (with or without white), white (with or without red/tan), cream (any color), merle (with or without other colors).
The AKC recognizes 10 colors for this breed.
- The American Kennel Club recognizes 10 colors for this breed. The top three most popular colors are black and tan, blue and tan, and golden sable.
- Poms have a double coat with a dense undercoat that keeps them warm in cold temperatures. This thick coat also makes it easy to groom them using simple tools like a brush or comb.
Poms have thick, double coats.
Poms have a double coat. The undercoat is soft and thick, while the outer coat is long and straight. Their coats should be brushed regularly with a firm bristle brush.
Don’t wash them more than once a week because they’re prone to dry skin if you do it too often!
Poms shed a lot but they don’t require frequent bathing.
Your new Pomeranian may shed a lot, but that doesn’t mean you have to bathe them all of the time! They don’t require frequent bathing and are considered hypoallergenic dogs because they don’t tend to release dander like other breeds do. This means that if you have a family member who is allergic, the Pomeranian might be the right choice for you!
The Pomeranian makes an excellent addition to any household and can adapt easily with children or adults, but keep in mind that these tiny dogs still need plenty of attention. The best thing about owning a Pom is knowing they will always make sure they get their share of love!

A healthy Pom doesn’t usually snore or wheeze when sleeping.
A healthy Pom doesn’t usually snore or wheeze when sleeping. If your pup does, he may have a respiratory problem that could put him at risk for heart and lung disease.
Some Poms snore because of their flat faces, which causes them to breathe through their mouths rather than their noses. This can cause sleep apnea (a condition where the dog stops breathing for short periods during sleep), which can lead to heart problems like arrhythmias, congestive heart failure and high blood pressure over time.
Their ears should be checked regularly and cleaned as needed to reduce ear infections and buildup of earwax and debris.
You should clean your dog’s ears regularly to prevent infections and to keep them looking healthy. You can clean the inside of their ears with a cotton ball and warm water, then carefully dry the insides. Cleaning the outer ear canal is a little trickier, but it’s important for good health in Pomeranians.
To do this, use a damp cloth to wipe any dirt or debris from the outside of the ear. Then use a soft brush (one with tapered bristles) to remove dirt and debris from within that part of your Pomeranian’s head. Finally, dry both sides fully with another soft cloth before you finish up!
Make sure you check your dog’s ears regularly to look for signs that something might be wrong (such as redness or an odor). If they seem unhealthy—or if they have discharge coming out of them—it’s time to make an appointment with your vet right away!
