Toy Pomeranians: Little Dogs With Big Attitudes

By Rosie Allan

Toy Pomeranians are the main Pomeranian type in the world today. Very occasionally, you will get a “giant” Pomeranian, a tiny teacup Pomeranian or an exotic Pomeranian (which is just a Pomeranian in any color not approved by the American Kennel Club). Although descended from very large ancestors that used to pull sleds and then herd sheep, toy Pomeranians today pull around their people and tend to rule the roost.

Pomeranians are incredibly popular, but this popularity comes at a price. They are often purchased on impulse and then abandoned when reality sets in. You need to know basic Pomeranian information before taking on one of these dogs. They have certain demands that need to be met, but when they are they become a loyal and chipper companion that will be unforgettable. You need to get used to their yappy bark, their shedding and their delicate skeleton.

Most toy Pomeranians are abandoned through no fault of their own. A lot do not get along with little children or boisterous, bigger dogs. They like to be the star of the show. But their thick, soft, profuse coats are a big reason why many get abandoned. This coat grows thickly, quickly and needs constant attention. If you have ever had a Persian cat, then you already know what is involved.

The coat will be fluffy soft, double-layered and seem to make up most of the dog’s weight. They can be clipped, but even then, they will still look puffy. Their ancestors were from Northern Europe that pulled sleds and herded sheep in all weather.

Toy Pomeranians will give warnings first before they bite, but as they are so small, you might not be able to see these warnings. But, Pomeranians are trainable given enough time and patience.

Because of the tiny size of the toy Pomeranian, they are difficult to housebreak completely. Males will always lift their legs to mark territory unless you get them neutered. Many toy Pomeranians have been successfully litter trained, more so females than males. Pomeranians know very well to go outside, but their tiny bladders often cannot hold onto the urine long enough for you to let them out. Pomeranians are very intelligent and very trainable.

The amateur dog breeder should never breed Pomeranians, because of their tiny size. They almost always require lap breeding, Caesarian sections and have many other complications due to pregnancy and birth. Males that are not neutered can become aggressive.

Toy Pomeranians also will use tools like slamming doors or knocking over chairs in order to sound much fiercer than they really are. Living with a toy Pomeranian is a challenge, the same as with a child.
