Pomeranian Standards:

This happy pup is good at learning tricks. If a Pom is given rules to follow, limits as to what it is allowed to do, walks and a calm, self-assured owner who displays confident assertion towards the dog, this can be a well-rounded, mentally stable, trustworthy, wonderful family companion.

Training:

The Pomeranian's very long, double coat should be brushed frequently. If you work from the head, parting the coat and brushing it forward, it will fall neatly back in place, so the task, although time-consuming, is relatively easy. The cottony undercoat is shed once or twice a year. Use dry shampoo when necessary.

Grooming:

The Pomeranian is a proud, lively little dog. It is intelligent, eager to learn, very loyal to its handler and family. The Pomeranian is a wonderful companion and show dog. The breed's docile temper and affectionate nature endear it to many. It is alert, inquisitive and active: one of the most independent of the toy breeds. Its liveliness and spirit make it well-liked by persons who do not usually care for toy dogs. Poms have a delightful nature and do not cling to their handlers. Its compact size makes it a good pet for people of all ages. Because of its alert, friendly nature, size, and attractive looks, this dog has become a favorite of celebrities.

Characteristics:

The Pomeranian got its name from the region of Pomerania, which is now the area of Germany and Poland, where it was developed from the ancient Spitz breeds. The original Pomeranians were much larger, weighing up to 30 pounds, and worked as sheep herders. Marie Antoinette, Emile Zola, Mozart and Queen Victoria all owned Pomeranians. In 1870 the Kennel Club in England first recognized them as a breed. In 1888 Queen Victoria began breeding and showing the dogs. It was she who started breeding them down in size, making the breed very popular in England. The Pomeranian was first recognized by the AKC in 1888. Some of the Pom's talents include: watchdog, agility and performing tricks.
