Blue Pomeranian Puppies Will Become Valuable Members Any Size Family

By Christine Stone


Many dog lovers are pretty picky when it comes to the breeds they want as family members. Some love big, sturdy canines who can accompany them on hiking and camping trips. Others are mostly concerned with protection and choose animals for their reputations as guard dogs. Still others prefer tiny, affectionate bundles of fur that love to cuddle. If the latter describes you, blue Pomeranian puppies fit the bill.

These little animals actually belong to the Spitz family of dogs that include Elkhounds, Samoyeds, and Malamutes. Hundreds of years ago, Pomeranians looked more like their much larger cousins. They weighed around thirty pounds then, instead of the three to seven pounds you see today. They were favorites of the likes of Mozart, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and Sir Isaac Newton. A Pom owned by England's Queen Victoria was the first ever entered into a dog show.

These are intelligent, funny, and outgoing dogs who love their owners and can adapt to all kinds of families. It is necessary to socialize Poms early on, like all dogs. Without it, they can become nervous, shy, and bark continuously. It's a good idea to ask the breeder if you can meet the parents of the puppy you want. Their personalities will give you a good idea of what your puppy will grow into.

These are tiny dogs. Some don't weigh over three pounds at full maturity. Occasionally there will be a litter that is slightly bigger. These usually make the best pets for households with small children. Poms don't grow much taller than a foot.

Poms are so small they can live comfortably almost anywhere. The dogs are fine in condos and apartments as long as you give them plenty of playful attention. Most Poms love their dog toys, but need to be introduced to new ones periodically to prevent boredom. These smart, playful animals also love to learn tricks. Poms are big show offs and enjoy every chance to impress your guests.

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.

Pomeranians are generally healthy little dogs that routinely live anywhere from twelve to sixteen years. When you are considering one of these puppies, you need to ask the breeder for its parent's health clearances. These will tell you the genetic health issues the parents have been cleared for. Poms can be susceptible to dental and eye problems, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and allergies.

Poms are great little dogs that make excellent pets. They are loving, intelligent, and playful. If you are buying from a breeder though, making sure she is reputable and not running a puppy mill is critical.
