Pomeranians
The Pomeranian
 (often known as a Pom or Pom Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type, named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe (which today is part of modern eastern Germany and northern Poland) and classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size. As determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale the Pomeranian is part of the German Spitz breed, and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz (`Dwarf` Spitz), or Toy German Spitz.Appearance
Pomeranians are small dogs. The Pomeranian has soft and fluffy fur. Their thick, fluffy tails fan over their backs. When born, the tails of Pomeranian are straight or slightly curved. It usually takes a Pomeranian's tail 1-3 months to curve over its back. Their teeth come to a scissor bite and they have almond shaped eyes. A Pomeranian's fur can be many different colors including white (or a light beige color),tan, black, brown, orange, sable, wolf, or white with colored markings.
Behavior
Pomeranians are typically very friendly, playful and active. The breed love to be around their owners. They are somewhat intelligent and are easily trained. Pomeranians do not always socialize well with other dogs, animals, and people. Pomeranians are extroverted and can develop the habit of barking excessively. Because of their long double-coat, they tend to seek out cooler environments and it is not uncommon to find them lying down on a cold floor or hard surface. They tend to usually be good with kids from the age of 3+ if raised with them from the start. Because of their size, they do well in condominiums and apartments, but they are able to adapt to most any situation or environment.
