In this article, you'll discover 5 things you probably didn't know about the Pomeranian dog. Discover what the Pomeranian dogs are all about!

1- The Pomeranian dog breed is originally from Germany.

It is believed that the Pomeranian dog breed was created by breeding a Spitz (a type of dog with a fluffy coat) with a Pyrenean Mastiff. The Pomeranian dog breed was first named after the area in which it originated from Pommern. The name is derived from the Slavic word "Pome," which means "border" or "shore." Pomeranians were originally bred to be hunting dogs, but they are also very popular as companion dogs today. They are small in size and have a thick double coat that can be either long or short.

2- Pomeranians are small dogs that have a big attitude!

Pomeranian dogs love to play. They can be very sweet but will let you know when they don't like something by using their loud bark. Pomeranians have been known to live up to 17 years, but the average lifespan is 12-15 years. They are friendly and loving towards everyone, especially children! Pomeranian puppies may look cute when they’re sleeping, but don’t let that fool you – they have been known to wake up from a nap ready for some fun!

3- They are very loyal to their owners.

They are smart, playful, and affectionate. Pomeranians make great companions for people who live in apartments or small homes because they don’t require a lot of space. Pomeranian dogs have very soft coats that come in many different colors such as black, red, brown, and white! They are great guard dogs because they will alert you by barking if someone is coming around your home.

4- Not great for families with small children.

The Pomeranian dog is not a good choice for families with small children because they are very fragile. If a child accidentally steps on them or plays too rough, they can get hurt. Also, if children don’t know how to properly care for Pomeranians then you may have some issues when it comes to grooming and training them.

5- They need a good deal of exercise daily.

Pomeranians are very energetic dogs, so they need to get a good deal of exercise every day. If you don’t give them enough exercise then they may become destructive and misbehave in your home. They do not do well in hot climates. Pomeranian dogs are very sensitive to heat and they should not be outside for more than 10 minutes at a time during the summer months. They also cannot go for long walks in the heat, so if you live in a hot climate then you may want to think about getting another type of dog. They have a lot of hair. Pomeranians have a lot of hair and they need to be brushed daily to keep their coats healthy and looking nice. They are prone to eye problems. Pomeranian dogs are prone to eye problems such as entropion, ectropion, distichiasis, and cherry eye so you should make sure you take them to the vet regularly for checkups. If you live in a hot climate then you will need to find ways to keep your dog cool. They require regular grooming. Pomeranian dogs have very thick and fluffy coats that need daily brushing if they are not clipped down. If you don’t brush their hair then it will become matted and tangled which can cause pain and discomfort for the pup.

At the End: Conclusion-

The Pomeranian is a very small breed of dog with a long, sled-dog-type coat that comes in a variety of colors. Generally speaking, they grow to be anywhere from 4 to 7 pounds. While their stature may lead some people to believe that they are untrainable and difficult to care for, these dogs were bred as working animals and loved being around people. Pomeranians are extremely loyal dogs and love playing games like Hide-and-Seek and Fetch with their owners. They also get along quite well with cats. In fact, they were bred to hunt rodents in households so if you don't want any uninvited guests in your home, you should definitely consider adopting one of these pint-sized pups!
