The Pomeranian

The Pomeranian is a playful, friendly and energetic dog. Originally the Pomeranian was much larger and was used to pull sleds in Pomerania. Later on the dog was bred to a smaller size. This breed became popular after Queen Victoria was given one as a gift. Today, this dog is used as a search and rescue dog, a hearing aid, and a companion. They are easily trained which makes them ideal for agility and show competitions. They shed twice a year and require weekly brushing. These dogs have a great personality. They are friendly and they enjoy attention . They do not mind children but, they need to be associated with them at a young age or, they can become a bit snappy. These dogs have a warm coat so, they will do best in a cold climate. These small dogs do not need very large areas for exercise because they can get their exercise indoors. This is not to say, though, that they do not need to be walked occasionally. These dogs are great for first time dog owners because they are easy to train, lovable, and get along great with families. The only thing you want to do if you do decide to get a Pomeranian is, make it clear to them that you are the boss or else they will walk all over you. Overall, this dog is pretty much great for anyone who can give him proper training and, who doesn't mind a little pet hair.
