Pomeranian Breed Information:
The Pomeranian descended from the Spitz family of sled dogs used in Iceland and Lapland. The breed was named after the historical region of Pomerania (which is now present day Germany and Poland), not because they originated there, but because that was where it was bred down to size. In its larger form, the Pomeranian weighed as much as 30 lbs. and served as a sheep herder. Breeders in Pomerania bred down the size to about 20 lbs. through selective breeding. The Pomeranian was first brought to England by Queen Charlotte in the late 17th century, but the breed became popular in 1888, when Queen Victoria returned from Florence, Italy with an unusually small one named Marco. Marco grew to only 12 lbs. at adult weight, which was tiny compared to the average 20 lb. Pomeranian in the 18th century. Because the Queen was a popular monarch, the breed's popularity grew as well as the desire for the smaller size. Queen Victoria became such a fancier of the breed, that she established her own kennel for their breeding in the late 1800's. Through selective breeding over the years, Pomeranians have been bred down to a mere 7 lbs. or less! Other famous owners of these dogs include Marie Antoinette, Mozart, Michaelangelo, and Martin Luther. Today, the Pomeranian is a coveted companion and beautiful show dog.The Pomeranian is lively, intelligent, and eager to learn. They are bold, willful, and loyal to their owner. Most Pomeranians have a propensity to be leery of strangers, and will bark excessively at people they have never seen before. Pomeranians usually get along well with other animals. They are very independent, alert, curious, and proud. If spoiled or improperly trained, they may become demanding and willful. They are docile, even-tempered, and affectionate, and they appeal to many people who normally don’t care for toy dogs.
