Facts About Blue Pomeranian Puppies

By Melissa Roberts


The name refers to a particular breed of dogs under the Spitz family of dogs. In most cases, when referring to Blue Pomeranian Puppies and grown dogs, the shortened form Pom is used. The breed has its origin traced back to the north-west Poland and north-east Germany. This area is located in central Europe and is also called the Pomeria region. Due to their small size, this breed of dogs are also grouped as toy dogs.

Poms are believed to have descended from the larger types of Spitz dogs. The German Spitz is believed to be the immediate ancestor of the poms. Some pet clubs classify poms as part of German Spitz. In fact, in some countries, they are referred to as dwarf spitz. The popularity of this breed has been fueled in large part by royal owners. For instance, in the 18th century, a pom was owned by Queen Victoria, something that made its global popularity rise.

Physically, poms are very small dogs. They weigh between 1.9 and 3.5 kilograms and stand at a height of between 5 and 11 inches at the withers. The bodies are sturdy while the coat is abundantly textured. The tails are set high and flat. A ruff is formed around their necks by the out coat of hair. This is a characteristic that they are well known for. The hindquarters have feathery hair forming on the fringes.

Initially, these dogs had white coats in most cases, with a few having brown or black coats. The one that Queen Elizabeth owned was brown in color and the color became very fashionable during the early years of the 19th century. Today, poms exist in the widest range of colors. Examples of colors available include white, orange, cream, black, brown, black and tan, red, blue, brown and tan, sable, brindle, and spotted. Any mixture of the colors named above also exists.

In these modern times, the existence of poms is marked with many different colors. Some of these colors include orange, white, black, cream, orange, blue, tan, red, sable, brown and tan, spotted, and black and tan. The breed also has dogs with any mixture that can be formed by the colors.

Naturally, this breed is a lively one and enjoys playing much. Also, they are quite friendly to their owners. Unfortunately, in attempt to prove themselves, they are known to exhibit a certain level of aggression towards other dogs. They are also sensitive to changes in their environment. Normally, their barking is triggered by new stimuli. This may then develop into the unwarranted habit of barking.

Naturally, Pomerians are a playful breed and are very enthusiastic with an easy relationship with their owners. Nonetheless, they are known to be hostile against other dogs when trying to make an impression. In the environment around their habitat, they stay awake to any changes that occur. Unwarranted barking is a habit common to them and it develops after a new stimuli is introduced in their environment.

When grooming, one should pay attention to the ears, eyes, and teeth because they tend to be infected in these areas. Early tooth loss seems to be a problem in these dogs. As such, it is highly recommendable to keep them on a dry food diet.
