Useful Facts Concerning 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.

It is believed that Poms as descendants of the bigger types of Spitz dogs. The immediate ancestor of this breed is thought to be the German Spitz. Some pet clubs place German Spitz and Poms under the same category. Interestingly, they are known as dwarf spitz in some countries. Royal owners are to a large extent the ones fueling the popularity of poms. For example, the popularity of this breed rose globally when Queen Victoria owned a pom in the 18th century.

Physical wise, this breed is a very small dog. Their weight range is 1.9 to 3.5 kilograms. Poms stand at 5 to 11 inches tall. They have abundantly textured coats with sturdy bodies. Their tails are flat and set high. Their out coat of hairs form some sort of ruff around their necks. In fact, this is their trademark feature. Feathery hairs form on their fringes to describe their hindquarters.

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.

This breed has double thick coats. However, the hair is quite easier to groom. To keep the coat in good shape the grooming must be done on daily basis. Also advised is trimming of the hairs after 1 to 2 months. Their outer coats are straight, and long with harsh-textured hairs. In contrast, the inner coats are short, soft, and thick.

The coat on the body of a pomerian has two layers, making it thick. Grooming the hair can be done with ease, but to keep the coat in proper condition, daily grooming is advised. It is recommended for one to trim the coat every 1 to 2 months. The coat on the outside is lengthy and with straight coarse-textured hair. The inner coat on the other hand is short, thick and soft.

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.

Attention must be drawn to the teeth, eyes, and ears during grooming since they are the ones which tend to be infected. A major problem with this breed seems to be early tooth loss. It is the reason they must be kept on a diet of dry food.
