Blue Pomeranian Puppies Will Become Valuable Members Any Size Family

By Christine Stone


Many dog lovers are pretty picky when it comes to the breeds they want as family members. Some love big, sturdy canines who can accompany them on hiking and camping trips. Others are mostly concerned with protection and choose animals for their reputations as guard dogs. Still others prefer tiny, affectionate bundles of fur that love to cuddle. If the latter describes you, blue Pomeranian puppies fit the bill.

Pomeranians belong to the Spitz dog family. They don't look like it, but Pomeranians, Samoyeds, Elkhounds, and Malamutes are directly related. Many years ago Poms were much bigger, sometimes weighing as much as thirty pounds. Today they can weigh as little as three. Mozart, Michelangelo, Sir Isaac Newton, and Martin Luther were all Pomeranian lovers. A Pom owned by England's Queen Victoria was the first ever entered into a dog show.

Most Poms have personalities bigger than they are. These dogs are very smart and outgoing. They generally love people and fit into most family structures. Like all dogs, the Pom needs early socialization to avoid shyness, nervousness, and a tendency to bark at anything that moves. Meeting the parents of the puppy you are considering is a good idea. That will tell you a lot about your puppy's adult personality.

These are tiny dogs. Some don't weigh over three pounds at full maturity. Occasionally there will be a litter that is slightly bigger. These usually make the best pets for households with small children. Poms don't grow much taller than a foot.

Poms are small enough for condo or apartment living. The dogs don't need a backyard or long walks to wear them out. As long as you give them plenty of playtime inside they will be satisfied. Poms usually love dog toys. They are smart enough to get bored if you don't change the toys out though. These animals are especially good at tricks and love to show off any chance they get.

Pomeranians have luxurious, double coats that are very distinctive. The top coat is rough, and the bottom coat is soft. Their sumptuous tails and neck ruffs are other special features that define the Pomeranian look. Brushing them every few days is a must. In order to get them used to the grooming routine, you need to start early and offer frequent treats.

Pomeranians are generally healthy little dogs that routinely live anywhere from twelve to sixteen years. When you are considering one of these puppies, you need to ask the breeder for its parent's health clearances. These will tell you the genetic health issues the parents have been cleared for. Poms can be susceptible to dental and eye problems, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and allergies.

Poms are great pets that endear themselves to their families. This is an active, smart, and loving breed. Before you purchase one though, you need to make sure you are working with a reputable breeder and aren't giving your money to a puppy mill.
