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.

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.

Poms are little animals. At full maturity, many of them tip the scales at only three pounds. There are sometimes litters with larger puppies, and these make good pets for households that include young children. Regardless of weight, the dogs will only reach about a foot in height.

Poms are good dogs for people who live in apartments and condos. They are active and love to be walked, but they can also get enough exercise if you spend time playing with them inside. Because they are so playful, dog toys are usually a lot of fun for them. You'll have to rotate the toys however, or your pup will get bored. These smart animals can easily learn tricks and will show off for your guests given the chance.

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.
