In the world of dogs, there are a few breeds that capture nearly everyone’s attention and garner praises from them all. The diminutive Pomeranian stands out in all respects, with his tiny size and huge personality.
Made popular by Queen Victoria in the late 1880s, hers were the first to be exhibited in a show. They immediately amassed an impressive following and became fashionable as a lap dog. Today they are as likely to be found in the obedience ring or on an agility course, having proven their intelligence and aptitude for dog sports.
Of course, with a face like this, who could resist their allure? In many colors, white Poms are especially adorable with their dark, almond-shaped eyes and contrasting noses. Reaching a tiny paw to retrieve a treat just out of his reach, this little fellow deserves all the accolades he’s given!
As far as getting attention goes, Poms know just what to do. When his friend starts to “sing,” the little dog throws his head back and joins right in.
A movie featuring dogs (Disney’s Lady and the Tramp) elicits a sing-along from a delightful Pomeranian who figures he can sing as well as those movie stars can!
Used to asserting themselves, Poms can become little tyrants if allowed to dominate their family. This one is unhappy about being taken out of the tub, where she was apparently having a good time, and she has a lot to say about it!
Yet when trained properly, this breed shows its intelligence quite readily. These little guys are waiting for Mama to tell them it’s time to go outside. Until then, they stay put in their bed.
Pomeranians are the tiniest of the Spitz, or Nordic, breeds. They weigh anywhere from 3 to 7 pounds, but the smallest of them still have a big dog attitude, and this one proves it by bullying his bigger playmate.
Watch the video to get an idea of just how engaging Pomeranians can be. Then share it with your Facebook friends so you can all get a laugh at their sometime hilarious behavior that proves this tiny dog has no idea how little he is!
