Originated from Pomerania, Germany, about a century ago. The Pomeranian is the smallest member of the Spitz family of dogs. These dogs are of the northern Spitz type, and bred down in size. This breed descended from Iceland and Lapland dogs. They were larger at one time; they once weighed over 20 pounds.

Their long straight coat needs to be groomed two to three times a week and at a minimum once weekly. This breed does shed. Their double coat has a dense and soft undercoat. The outer coat is straight and the texture is harsh. Plumed tail lies flat on their back.
