Why Are Pomeranian Dogs So Popular?



If you have lots of great expectations about life with a Pomeranian dog, prepare to get most of them dashed. These are not smaller versions of the average dog. Despite their bold characters, playful natures and loud yappy bark, they are far more fragile than the average dog. They are sort of the fragile eggs of the dog world. If you want this kind of dog, you must be willing to adjust your life around them.

Pomeranian dogs have big, thick coats that need daily care. If you have ever seen a Persian cat, then you know what a Pomeranian's coat is like and how easily it can get soiled and matted. Pomeranians shed their entire coats twice a year, but leave dog hair all over the place every day. If you are allergic to dogs or annoyed by the sight of dog hair, take this Pomeranian information very seriously before getting one.

Pomeranian personalities can differ remarkably from Pomeranian to Pomeranian. Since there is such a demand for them over the past few decades, they have been breed more for quantity than quality. Sadly, this has lead to puppy farms supplying pet stores and Internet puppy sites with unhealthy, neurotic dogs. Never get a Pomeranian from a pet store or Internet site that sells puppies. Get one from a breeder or a Pomeranian rescue.

Pomeranians are standoffish around strangers and very protective of their people and homes. This has, on occasion, led to attacks. For example, this writer was walking her sixty-pound dog past a yard with a wooden fence. One of the boards suddenly banged dangerously, causing the both of us to jump. When I looked at our attacker, it was a smiling Pomeranian who looked very pleased with himself. They will bite when cornered by a person or another animal.

Pomeranian dogs are prone to some health problems more so than some other breeds, but not as much as others. They can be prone to eye problems, skin problems, teeth problems, leg and knee problems. They have delicate skeletons and teeth that are less strong as the average dog's. They need their teeth brushed and their eyes checked daily. Do not roughhouse with a Pomeranian and don't let them jump more than a foot from the ground.

Most health problems with Pomeranians are curable, especially if caught early. By grooming your Pomeranian every day, you can check for early signs of health problems, like swellings or bald patches. That also gives you a great time to interact with your Pomeranian and lavish him or her with the attention they thrive in. According to Pomeranian information on the web and in print, Pomeranians do not need a lot of exercise and can live happily in an apartment.
