Pomeranian: Once Noisy And Snappish To Most Petted And Pampered

The Pomeranian in its early years was noted to be rather noisy,
snappish and even dangerous to children.  Today the Pom is one
of the most petted and pampered of the toy breeds. He continues
to gain popularity and is today fairly popular as a house pet.

Tri-colored-pom-fuzzybutt The Pomeranian has also been known as viz., Loup-Loup
Pomeranians, Wolf Dog, Volpmo, and Spitz. The original Spitz was
much larger, twenty pounds or so, and was noted to be
ill-tempered and quarrelsome with few friends and many enemies.
It seems almost impossible that our present day Pomeranian with
their sweet dispositions, very small size, and wonderful array
of colors could have ever come from the same stock as the Spitz.
There is no proof that other blood was ever introduced.

There is little doubt that the Pomeranian originated in
“Pomerania,” a small province in Eastern Germany. The early Poms
weighed as much as 35 pounds. The first Pomeranian ever heard of
in England was the very pale yellow color. They were longer in
body and very fox-like in head, expression and movement; these
eventually became extinct. The Spitz first appeared in the shows
in England as a pure white dog. Later, black and other colors
were imported from Germany. These were much smaller and the
breeding of the smaller ones began in England. Year after year
more and more colors were produced.

The appearance of a Pomeranian should be a compact,
short-coupled dog. He should show great intelligence in his
expression and activity. The head and nose of a Pomeranian should
be foxy in outline or wedge-shaped, the skull slightly flat and
large in proportion to the muzzle. The hair on the head and face
should be smooth and short-coated. The ears of a Pomeranian
should be small and carried perfectly erect like a fox and the
head should be covered with short, soft hair. The tail is one of
the characteristics of the breed and should be turned over the
back and carried flat and straight.

Today, the Pomeranian is one of the most popular small dogs
registered in America. Average weight is six pounds for adults.
Our little Pomeranian’s duties today are a far cry from those of
its ancestors who carried loads, hunted and served as guard dogs
in the Arctic Circle.

Among famous people who have owned Pomeranians is Michelangelo.
His Pomeranian is reported to have sat on a satin pillow while
he painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

It was Queen Charlotte married to Prince George III who brought
the first Pomeranians to England. These were mostly white dogs
and most of them are reported to have weighed over 20 pounds.
Her dogs were popular in the royal circles, but not so popular
at this time with the general dog breeders.

A little girl in 1819 who was the granddaughter of Queen
Charlotte, Victoria, was a devoted dog fancier. In her lifetime
she raised more than 15 different breeds of canines and in later
years her attentions were particularly upon the Pomeranians.

Upon her trip to Italy in 1888 she purchased a sable red
Pomeranian of whom she named Marco. Marco weighed just 12
pounds. Many dog historians feel it was Marco who instigated the
desire to breed smaller Pomeranians. Marco competed in many dog
shows and won many honors. Among the other Pomeranians Queen
Victoria bought was a little female named Gina who also became a
champion at London dog shows. It is reported that Queen Victoria
loved her Pomeranians so much that she requested her favorite,
Pom Turi, to be brought to her bedside as she lay dying.

English dog fanciers began breeding smaller and smaller
Pomeranians. The first Pomeranian to be shown in America was in
1892 in New York. Most Pomeranian breeders of today have
stabilized at the size of 5 to 7 pounds, and the Pomeranian has
today become one of our most popular, petted and pampered toy
dog breeds. He makes a wonderful, spunky, high-spirited little
companion.
