Pedigree
Pomeranian / Spitz
Origin: Germany / Poland
The Pomeranian is a small, lively, expressive dog with a dense coat and big character. Adorable but vocal, it needs training from the start. Health to watch: teeth, patella, windpipe; and its thick coat needs brushing and summer cooling.
Lively, alert, vocal, full of character in a small package. A very expressive companion.
