Pomeranian is a big name for a big dog.  As huge as thirty  pounds,  the  Pomeranian  has  been  said  to  be  very  similar  to  the wolf Spitz in weight, hide and hair.  This is not surprising  since  the  Pomeranian  originated  from  the  bloodline  of  the  Spitz  dogs.  The  Spitz’s  are  from  Ireland  and  Lapland  and  were  sled  dogs.

The  dog  took  its  name  from  Pomerania  which  is  located  near  the  area  that  surrounds  the  Southern  coast  of  the Baltic  Sea.  Pomerania has now become Germany and Poland.  The dog was not  given  the  name  Pomerania  because  it  was  born  there  but  more  than  likely  it  was  in  Pomerania  that  it  had  been  breed  to  Smaller proportions.  In its original (larger) form, the  Pomeranian  herded  sheep  and  their  gigantic  form  was  even  noticed  in  Britain in the mid-nineteenth century.

The Pomeranian had been established in the Kennel club in 1870.  Queen Victoria of England had a Pomeranian.  Her adored pet  was  named  ''Marco''  which  Queen  Victoria  brought  back  with  her  From Florence, Italy.  Queen Victoria was highly regarded and  loved  by  her  people,   as  a  result,  Pomeranian’s  became  more  in  demand.  What is also interesting is that the Queen preferred smaller Pomeranian’s to the larger breed.  So, the populace started to want the smaller dogs also.

In  about  1892,  the  dog  was  revealed  in  the  United  States  in  what was known as the miscellaneous class.  However, it was in  New  York  in  the  1900,  that  the  Pomeranian  started  to  be  classified regularly.

The American Pomeranian Club has its initial specialty show in 1911. Now Pomeranian’s are smaller in size, but back then the original American champions were more substantial in bone.   The  Pomeranian’s  had  huge  ears,  and  was  under  six  pounds.  

However, the dogs had type and excellent coat texture. Today, the Pomeranian have gentle temperaments, with energetic spirits, and are well-built animals.  They also have a wealth of hair, unlike in the past.  

The Pomeranian is a very comical type of dog.  Its comics will keep you laughing over and over again.  I think these dogs have a 6th sense when it comes to this.  They do just sweet spontaneous gestures you can’t help put a smile on your face.  Pomeranians don’t run they hop but with a very graceful style.  They are cheerful and happy most of the time.  They will make a child a very happy camper and a wonderful family pet.
