If you are looking for a pooch to pamper, the
Pomeranian is an excellent choice! The tiniest member of the Spitz family of
dogs, these adorable little pups weigh just 3 to 7 pounds. The breed
originated in an area of Germany called "Pomerania", and were imported to
Britain during the reign of Queen Victoria. They have since become very
popular throughout the world, and are a good choice for people who have to
spend a lot of time indoors. Pomeranians do not require a lot of exercise, and
enjoy the pampered life. They do require daily brushing to keep their long,
double coats in good condition.
Pomeranians come in a wide range of colours,
including white, black, cream, brown, orange, beaver and sable. Although these
miniature dogs stand just 8.5 to 11 inches, they are actually the descendants
of the big arctic sled-pulling dogs. They are intelligent, spirited and
energetic, just like their larger cousins. Although their size makes them no
match for an intruder, Pomeranians alert nature, shrill bark and intelligence
make them a natural burglar alarm system for your home. A word of caution if
you are considering adding a Pomeranian to your family: They're addictive!
It's hard to stop at just one!
