The Pomeranian is a tiny yet bold toy breed, loved by both royals and everyday pet owners. With its fluffy double coat, foxy smile, and lively personality, it’s a popular choice worldwide.

Weighing no more than seven pounds, Poms have a big-dog attitude and come in many colors, though orange and red are most common. Smart and alert, they are easy to train, making great watchdogs and fun companions for families with older kids. They stay active with indoor play and short walks, thriving in both cities and suburbs. Poms love learning tricks but mostly enjoy being affectionate and entertaining their owners. Their thick coat requires weekly brushing to prevent matting, and their nails should be kept short since they are naturally active dogs.
