Blue Pomeranian Puppies Make Fun Loving Companions For Families Of Any Size

By Christine Stone


Dog lovers can get opinionated when it comes to the best breeds. Some families always have large, energetic animals that can accompany them on camping and hiking trips. Other families, concerned for their safety, choose intimidating guard dogs. Then there are the families who swear by little bundles of fur that love to cuddle with them on the couch. If you are one of the tiny dog lovers, blue Pomeranian puppies could be a perfect fit.

Pomeranians belong to the Spitz dog family. They don't look like it, but Pomeranians, Samoyeds, Elkhounds, and Malamutes are directly related. Many years ago Poms were much bigger, sometimes weighing as much as thirty pounds. Today they can weigh as little as three. Mozart, Michelangelo, Sir Isaac Newton, and Martin Luther were all Pomeranian lovers. 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.

Poms are little animals. At full maturity, many of them tip the scales at only three pounds. There are sometimes litters with larger puppies, and these make good pets for households that include young children. Regardless of weight, the dogs will only reach about a foot in height.

Poms are good dogs for people who live in apartments and condos. They are active and love to be walked, but they can also get enough exercise if you spend time playing with them inside. Because they are so playful, dog toys are usually a lot of fun for them. You'll have to rotate the toys however, or your pup will get bored. These smart animals can easily learn tricks and will show off for your guests given the chance.

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.

Poms are pretty healthy and hardy little dogs. They have average life spans of twelve to sixteen years. Whenever you are buying any purebred animal, you need to ask the breeder to supply you with health clearances. This will let you know which diseases your puppy's immediate ancestors were cleared of. Allergies, epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and dental and eye problems are the most common health concerns.

Poms are great pets that endear themselves to their families. This is an active, smart, and loving breed. Before you purchase one though, you need to make sure you are working with a reputable breeder and aren't giving your money to a puppy mill.
