Blue Pomeranian Puppies Make Fun Loving Companions For Families Of Any Size

By Christine Stone


Dog lovers can get opinionated when it comes to the best breeds. Some families always have large, energetic animals that can accompany them on camping and hiking trips. Other families, concerned for their safety, choose intimidating guard dogs. Then there are the families who swear by little bundles of fur that love to cuddle with them on the couch. If you are one of the tiny dog lovers, blue Pomeranian puppies could be a perfect fit.

Pomeranians are part of the Spitz family, which includes Malamutes, Samoyeds, and Elkhounds. Early Pomeranians were ten times the size of the smallest Poms bred today. They have been favorites of such notable animal lovers as Michelangelo, Sir Isaac Newton, Martin Luther and Mozart. Queen Victoria of England was the first to ever show a Pomeranian. Poms have been taking prizes in American dog shows since the nineteenth century.

All Poms have big personalities. These are very intelligent, outgoing animals. They are loving, especially in the midst of family, and can adapt to all kinds of households. Early socialization is a must. Without it, you could end up with a shy, nervous animal that barks constantly. If you want to get some idea of what kind of personality your adult dog will have, ask the breeder if you can meet the parents.

Even the bigger Poms are tiny dogs. Most range from three to seven pounds. Every once in awhile, a breeder will get a larger strain in a litter. The bigger Poms make good pets for families with little children. Whatever their weight, twelves inches is about as tall as they get.

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.

Their luxurious coats are one of the things that distinguish them from most other breeds. Poms are double coated with the outer fur rough and bristly and the under fur soft and silky. The neck ruffs and plumed tails are also characteristic of Poms. Regular brushing is a requirement if you own one of these dogs. Getting them used to the feel of a comb and brush while they are still very young is the best idea.

Poms are pretty healthy and hardy little dogs. They have average life spans of twelve to sixteen years. Whenever you are buying any purebred animal, you need to ask the breeder to supply you with health clearances. This will let you know which diseases your puppy's immediate ancestors were cleared of. Allergies, epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and dental and eye problems are the most common health concerns.

Pomeranians make great additions to families. They are lively, intelligent, and loving. As with all purebred dogs, prospective owners should choose carefully from a litter and avoid puppy mills and unscrupulous breeders at all costs.
