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.

Guía de cuidados

Pomeranians need regular grooming to maintain their fluffy coat. Despite their small size, they are active and need daily play. They can be prone to dental issues due to their small mouths. Supervise around larger dogs.

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.
