The Pomeranian — companion to Royalty and the Stars History and Origin
The Pomeranian descended from the sled dogs of Iceland and Lapland. Some of these dogs were brought to Germany where were used to herd livestock. The country area where they were popular was called Pomeranian and the breed was named after it. Later the Pomeranian overspread to other European countries and became popular with the monarchs, namely George III, Queen Victoria, Marie Antoinette. Originally Pomeranians were large-size dogs, but as they changing their walk to notables' pets, the gradual down sizing breeding was started. Now the Pomeranian is a toy dog with weight ranging from 3 to 7 pounds with the standard size ranging from 9 to 15 pounds
Description The Pomeranian is a small , fluffy dog with a wedge-shaped head and pointed erect ears. Some have faces that breeders liken to a fox; others have baby-doll or "pansy" faces. All have bright, dark, almond-shaped eyes with an intelligent expression. The nose is either dark or the color of its coat. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. Poms also boast a distinctive feathered tail that fans forward over the back. There is an abundant ruff around the neck and chest area. The profuse stand-off double coat usually comes in solid colors.
