![]() The Pomeranian breed standard calls for a Pom to be an "extrovert" which means outgoing, social, and friendly. We feel temperament is the utmost importance. A Pom can be the most beautiful dog in the world, but if it has a bad temperament, it will make for a stressful living situation. Keep in mind, however, sometimes the sire is not on site and the mother does lose her coat after she has puppies, which means she will look quite shabby and unattractive. If the puppy (or parents) look scared in the picture(s), that is a red flag!! Make sure you see both parents. If looking at pictures (or in person) look to see if the puppy looks happy you can often see it in their eyes, ears, and body language. When looking for a puppy, look for a happy, healthy baby. Do not under estimate the importance of this early socialization, love, and care, which leads to good temperament. Therefore, this is the foundation to the social development of your new baby. A breeder raises a puppy from birth until (at least) 8 wks. ![]() Remember, not unlike a child, the beginning of a puppy's life is very important. Regardless of size, almost all Poms like to go for car rides and sit on laps! They also make wonderful walking buddies, with good stamina. They are also more sturdy, for less chance of injury, and are often healthier. The larger size Poms are much better at holding their bladder for longer periods of time. The smaller ones, in addition to being more fragile, tend to have the potty accidents in the house. It is our experience that the larger Poms (6+ lbs.) make better pets. Larger size Poms often make better pets Smaller Poms (under 6/7lbs.) should NOT be placed in homes with young children or with large breeds/some other pets. If you have children in the house, we highly recommend choosing a larger, more sturdy Pom. *Note: Never leave a puppy or small pet alone with children under 12 years old (possibly even older, depending upon your child). ![]() He/she will need loving care, understanding, special feeding, safety, and home proofing. ![]()
