One of the major issues that affect owners of Pomeranian's is the Pomeranian health issue because they have a tendency to acquire a few different health problems. Many of these issues can be easily dealt with and with proper nutrition and care the tendency to suffer through health issues are greatly reduced. That being said however, there are a few things that you can look for when raising your dog that can make you aware of Pomeranian health issues and how to spot them at an early stage. With proper care and attention, your Pomeranian can live up to 16 years old, as these dogs are one of the very heartiest breeds available.

Pomeranian Health Watch

One of the most common problems of Pomeranian health is that they tend to lose their teeth early and in the same manner as humans get very sick by having unkempt teeth or rotting teeth, dogs are susceptible to acquiring diseases and other health disorders if the teeth are not properly maintained. In order to maintain Pomeranian health it is essential to brush the dog's teeth at least once a week with a small children's toothbrush. It is also very important to note that when brushing dog's teeth it is not recommended to use human toothpaste because it is very bad for the Pomeranian health.

Most people are also lacking in the knowledge that this particular breed of dog has been down bred from much larger dogs that are typically 15-20 pounds. Whenever this occurs within any breed of animal, it can cause health problems however in the particular Pomeranian health it also plays a significant role especially in birthing a litter because they typically need a C-section due to the fact that they have been bred down from a much larger dog.

Another common Pomeranian health issue is that the teeth often do not line up properly which can be caused by a variety of different reasons. This is sometimes confused with the dogs that have teeth out of line and this is a different issue than that because the Pomeranian's jaw has outgrown the other jaw and this causes a very big over or under bite. This can potentially damage the dog's career in the limelight however, aside from that it doesn't pose any huge threat for the Pomeranian health. This is even attributed to not having the puppy's retaining teeth removed and it forces the jaw to grow at different rates of speed and often ends up with this result.

I am looking to become a small hobby breeder because I love pomeranians and I want to share them with the world, but I do not want to chance their health and need to know what to look for when purchasing a female. I know about size and age and all that but no website I have been on has specified any characteristics on the female pomeranian that you should look for.

You need to get in contact with breeders of quality Pomeranian dogs and inquire about obtaining a show quality female. Most successful breeders will not give a novice a show quality puppy without co-ownership which is really no bad thing anyway — getting a breeder to mentor you is the single BEST thing you can do. If you are lucky enough to get a show quality puppy on a co-ownership basis your breeder will be there to guide you through every step of the way. If your female turns out to be show winning, has all her health checks in place and has a wonderful temperament, THEN she is breeding quality.

Best of luck!

The Pomeranian dog is a very small little dog that is largely composed of a very thick and doubled coat of hair. There are actually several layers to the Pomeranian hair, which gives some people the impression that Pomeranian grooming would be extremely difficult due to the amount of hair they have however, Pomeranian grooming is not that, terribly difficult at all. The only notable difference is that some short haired dogs don't need to be combed every single day however the Pomeranian is one that does require daily brushings due to the thickness and constant shedding.

In order to understand how to properly perform Pomeranian grooming on your puppy, it is really important that you realize that this breed of dog can knot and form tangles very easily. It is also an imperative issue to understand because of the double coat that the Pomeranian dogs have and they tend to shed those undercoats a couple of times a year. The Pomeranian grooming on a regular basis also immensely helps the coat grow and form on these little spunky dogs.

The Pomeranian Touch

There is likely no other dog that is more frequently seen in the dog shows as the Pomeranian. These little things are extremely popular and unlike a lot of breeds that can be disqualified by certain markings, it is widely accepted that most if not all Pomeranians are show dogs. It is for this very reason that there is so much focus and concentration paid to Pomeranian grooming as well as the fact that the Pomeranian coat is very coarse and thick. If it isn't regularly maintained, groomed, washed and brushed the coat of the Pomeranian will suffer and turn very ratty, matted and full of knots and this doesn't look very attractive on the little critters.

There are many owners that take part in regular Pomeranian grooming and are highly rewarded by happy little dogs, as they generally adore the attention and doting of being groomed. There are many tips and tricks you can learn to help you with your own Pomeranian grooming needs and can even help you with purchasing products that are necessary to maintain a nice coat for you dog. There are many sprays and products that can remove urine stains and grass stains as well as many other stains that your Pomeranian may have gotten into. Before you begin a Pomeranian grooming regime for you dog, be sure to find out all the helpful useful information from your local Pomeranian breeder.

I want a dog and i think pomeranian puppies are cute but people say there hard work to take care of.
Lindsay Down or whatever your name is i don't think a 12 year old would pull a dog's tall its not like there 3 years old.

When you purchase any puppy you are looking into working hard in training . I have four sons and they all wanted there own dog, and let me tell you i had more pups then they did it was fine for the first two weeks then the novelty wore off. They forgot they even had the dogs so they became mine lol.

Getting to know your dog starts by getting to know its breed, and that includes getting a better idea about its appearance, personality, and health requirements. Here's what you need to know about the Pomeranian:

One of the most fascinating aspects of this breed is that in its much earlier and larger incarnations it was used in Lapland and Iceland for pulling sleds. Eventually, the Pomeranian moved on to other regions along the Baltic Sea. At this particular time, the breed was still used as a working dog but then it started to increase in popularity as a family pet. The name given to this dog, which was originally Pommern or Pomore, means "on the sea."

The Pomeranian was introduced into English nobility. While somewhat popular, it became even more so after Queen Charlotte's granddaughter, Queen Victoria, returned from Italy with her new furry friend. Although the appearance was much the same, the earlier varieties of the Pomeranian were actually larger than what we see today.

This dog belongs to the Spitz family, which includes other breeds such as the Samoyed, Schipperke, and even Norwegian Elkhound, which surprises many people as they are all considered "toy" breeds due to the small size. Over time, breeders were able to fine-tune the Pomeranian, which led to a much better coat and smaller size. In addition, breeding experimentation provided a greater selection of color while not interfering with the breed's strong but sweet temperament.

Physical Appearance

Following the American Kennel Club's standards for the Pomeranian, the average weight is between 3 and 7 pounds and height is 8 to 11 inches. The appearance of the breed is quite distinct, having a wedge-shaped head. The result of the small body and head is a look very similar to that of a fox. In addition, the Pomeranian has small and high set ears and a tail that curls over the back while being held tall.

Although all of these characteristics make the Pomeranian the cute dog it is, the coat is without doubt its pride. In fact, this dog has two coats. The first is the soft, thick, and fluffy undercoat while the second is the straight and course overcoat. Every year, the male dog will shed the undercoat, as the female goes into heat, once a litter is delivered, and if experiencing too much stress.

As mentioned, breeding has resulted in a wide range of colors and color combinations - 13 in all. These options for the Pomeranian include:

Black
Black and Tan
Blue
Blue and Tan
Chocolate
Chocolate and Tan
Cream
Cream Sable
Orange
Orange Sable
Parti-color (typically white with other colors)
Red
Red Sable
Sable

In addition to the standard 13 colors for the Pomeranian, the American Kennel Club also recognizes the following:

Beaver
Brindle
Chocolate Sable
White
Wolf Sable

For the Pomeranian to fall within the standards set by the American Kennel Club, the dog should be well proportioned. This means the dainty head cannot be too large or small, but must balance well with the body type. Additionally, the Pomeranian's legs must be proportionate. In fact, even the breed's expression is to display alertness, intelligence, and pride.

Temperament and Personality

Like the Chihuahua, the Pomeranian does not realize it is a small dog. With a serious bark (or yelp as some may say), the dog is actually a great watchdog. This breed loves its family, enjoying good, quality cuddle time. However, it is also an energetic and agile dog that is relatively easy to train.

Because of the small body size, the Pomeranian makes a great pet for people without a yard or those with a small yard. However, because this breed also enjoys exercise, it makes a great pet for those who like spending time outdoors. In other words, the Pomeranian is a versatile dog - perfect for many types of families.

Health

Fortunately, the Pomeranian breed tends to be healthy but like most other dogs, there are a few possible health risks. With good care, a dog of this breed could easily live to be 14, 15, 16, or older. Some of the more common concerns with the Pomeranian include a Luxating Patella, dry eye, cataracts, and skin ailments.

Health risks that are not quite as common would be epilepsy, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, and hydrocephalus. Then on rare occasion, you might find a dog in this category dealing with Hip Dysplasia and Legg-Calve Perthes, a degenerative disease of the hip joint. Of all possible health risks associated with a Pomeranian, a collapsed trachea, or heart disease known as Patent Ductus Arteriosus are the most serious.

It is also important to keep this breed of dog well groomed. Otherwise, the undercoat can become tangled, pulling on the skin and causing blood circulation problems. Typically, brushing the coat two to three times a week is sufficient. Since this breed of dog is also prone to dental problems, most veterinarians recommend brushing, along with regularly scheduled cleaning, which would be done professionally and under anesthesia.

My female adult pomeranian is terrified of our new chihuahua puppy. He chases her around everywhere, and my pom just runs. How do i get them to stop this?

I think that is going to be a bit hard chihuahua dogs are very jealous and protective of their owner they do not like to share them.
