Descripción general
The Pomeranian is a tiny Spitz breed with a fluffy double coat and a personality much larger than its size. These alert, intelligent dogs are bold, curious, and lively — often behaving as if they are unaware of their diminutive stature.

Necesidades de ejercicio
Short daily walks and indoor play sessions. Their small size means moderate activity is sufficient.
Aseo
Brush 3-4 times weekly to prevent matting of their thick double coat. Professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
