Her ears will stand up like most poms when she's a little older. Also, her nose is getting black. I'll try to post some photo's of her parents tomorrow. Her mother is a blue merle and the father is a black and tan tri....

Very interesting markings! I LOVE the pink piggie nose! The ears look "flopped" in the photos. Will they be butterfly round or pointed? When you get a chance I'd love to see photos of the parents! How much does she weigh right now?

ATTENTION POMERANIAN OWNERS / LOVERS

Please check out my new post/thread under "Breeds" called "Pomeranian 101." Hopefully this can give you some resourceful basic information plus help squash all of the horrible myths! I will be creating a series (i.e. Pomeranian 102, etc) that people can read. My goal is to bring proper awareness about this breed to our dog forum community. If you ever have questions or need advice feel free to contact me directly! :o)

I am definitely going to be posting a nice Pom thread under breeds for you! I've got lots of "insider" tips and "corrections" to all the misleading things your read about or hear about with Poms. Like you said, it's an owner problem not a breed problem. Being a current toy/small dog owner you are all ready ahead of the game! Keep an eye out for some new threads of mine and if you ever want to chat direct let me know! Nice meeting you!

Hello from SW Pa. I am excited to see you post. I have just found myself the UNEXPECTED owner of a Pom puppy. I have two Yorkies and a Shih Tzu. I was not excited about the prospect of getting a Pom. I have never considered getting one, and if one came available I always declined. I had never met a Pom with a nice personality. Even tho' that did influence my opinions about the breed, I always suspected it was (as with most breeds) more an owner problem than a breed problem.

I am very experienced with small dogs as well as large. I got Pippin almost two weeks ago and I am pleasnatly surprised. He is pleasant, smart, loving, loyal, obedient.... I could go on and on. I am not seeing any of the Pom traits I have been so warned about. I treat him like all of my other small guys, and he acts just like them. When I Googled "Pomeranian" I got a couple of Pom sites that did not paint a very nice picture of the breed. The more I researched, the more I realized that the challenges they put such a focus on are the same challenges that one would face with any small dog.

I am only "book" familiar with the breed. I would love to hear any "insider" tips. I have started Pippin like I do all of my dogs. I take him to the groomer and vet whether or not he needs to go so he can see that many people will handle him for many reasons. I take him visiting for the same reasons. I also enforce that he needs to have manners at home and out. My other dogs are great teachers too.

Are there any particular Pom traits that might start to develope as he matures? I read that they are not cuddly or lap dogs. They are independent and stubborn. I don't want that, but that is not anything like the pup I have here.

Brief history: A co-worker of mine bought Pippin as a birthday present for her mother. The first week was fine, but weeks 2-3 and 4 just left the pup in a crate all day for 10 or more hours. They decided that since the pup could not house train himself, they would like to resell him..... before I could find a buyer for them, they decided to GIVE him to me. They know my dogs are very well cared for. I have not sent in his registration yet.

Hi everybody with Poms. Aren't they great? We have two Poms & a Pekeapoo. They are some of the most affectionate dogs I've had. I haven't done alot of studying about them, just love them!! It'll be good to have somebody to compare notes with.(Ha!) Just wanted to say Hi from Ohio.

Benny is adorable! I love the traditional orange coloring! If you ever want to chat Pom let me know! It's always good to get lots of advice and opinions from people with the same breed and experiences. (atleast that's what I always say) hehe

Hello and welcome! I am a pom owner too. Benny was living in an indoor kennel for a year (from about 8 months old) before his owner finally decided to give him up. I decided to take him in. It was a rough start, but we took a training class and are now in our second AND he is finally potty trained after 8 months of stress and training. We do love him and he is the funniest little guy.
