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

By Christine Stone


Many dog lovers are pretty picky when it comes to the breeds they want as family members. Some love big, sturdy canines who can accompany them on hiking and camping trips. Others are mostly concerned with protection and choose animals for their reputations as guard dogs. Still others prefer tiny, affectionate bundles of fur that love to cuddle. If the latter describes you, blue Pomeranian puppies fit the bill.

These little animals actually belong to the Spitz family of dogs that include Elkhounds, Samoyeds, and Malamutes. Hundreds of years ago, Pomeranians looked more like their much larger cousins. They weighed around thirty pounds then, instead of the three to seven pounds you see today. They were favorites of the likes of Mozart, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and Sir Isaac Newton. A Pom owned by England's Queen Victoria was the first ever entered into a dog show.

All Poms have big personalities. These are very intelligent, outgoing animals. They are loving, especially in the midst of family, and can adapt to all kinds of households. Early socialization is a must. Without it, you could end up with a shy, nervous animal that barks constantly. If you want to get some idea of what kind of personality your adult dog will have, ask the breeder if you can meet the parents.

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.

Pomeranians are generally healthy little dogs that routinely live anywhere from twelve to sixteen years. When you are considering one of these puppies, you need to ask the breeder for its parent's health clearances. These will tell you the genetic health issues the parents have been cleared for. Poms can be susceptible to dental and eye problems, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and allergies.

Poms are great little dogs that make excellent pets. They are loving, intelligent, and playful. If you are buying from a breeder though, making sure she is reputable and not running a puppy mill is critical.
