Pomeranian

The breed

The Pomeranian is a tiny, compact toy dog with a fluffy double coat, a fox-like face, pointed ears, and a plumed tail carried over its back. Its thick ruff around the neck gives it a distinctive, lion-like outline. Pomeranians come in many colors, including orange, cream, black, white, sable, and parti-color patterns.

Pomeranians are generally lively, bright, and confident, often seeming unaware of their small size. They tend to be alert and expressive, with an energetic, curious nature that makes them engaging companions. Many are affectionate with their families and enjoy being involved in household activity, though individual personalities can range from outgoing and playful to more reserved around unfamiliar people.
